I wish you were dead !
When Obama starts health care talks

I want to watch and see who are the people that say " I wish you were dead " to the poor.

When you deny universal health care that is what you are saying to the poor !

" People First "

1. I think that it's really more...
"I don't care if you die."

Not much better but less active.

2. Social Darwinism
A vote against health care for the uninsured is saying " I wish you were dead ".

Yes, that is exactly what it is. For social Darwinists, the "weak" are to be weeded out through natural selection. In their cruel minds, this improves conditions for the "strong."

Most social Darwinists do not realize this is what they actually espouse - and that's the danger of it. We are conditioned into social Darwinism by the competitive culture, and it is promoted as a positive American value.
