Rush admits it. Rich people should have health care

[walldude]

poor people.. well tough shit. Being interviewed here by... William Shatner?

Shatner: If you have money, you're going to get health care. If you don't have money, it's more difficult.

Limbaugh: If you have money you're going to get a house on the beach. If you don't have money you're going to live in a bungalow somewhere -- that's -- that's...

Shatner: Right, but we're talking about health care.

Limbaugh: What's the difference?

Shatner: The difference is we're talking about health care.

Limbaugh: No...

Shatner: Not a house or a bungalow.

Limbaugh: You're assuming that there's some morally superior aspect to health care than there is to a house or a bungalow.

Shatner: No, not moral at all. I want to keep the subject for the moment on health care.

1. That boil on the ass of humanity could give a crap about anyone poor....

..... except when he's on one of his sex tourism junkets and wants to pay for services.

2. Selfishness

I saw them interviewing a teabagger at one of their rallies one day. A woman said to a reporter, "Why should I pay for anyone else's health care?" You can't reason with people like that. What they have is theirs alone and they have no sense of social responsibility. They're still three years old and haven't learned to share.

3. Or even worse than that, they learned to share...

...and decided at a very young age they didn't like the idea. Usually because 'their' favorite toy got to be played with by another child. Oh the inhumanity. :sarcasm:

I once heard Glenn B...no...Neal Boortz, thats who it was. Anyway, I heard Neal Boortz on a radio program once say that 'sharing was a concept thought up by the poor and reinforced through government liberal schools to make capitalism seem evil' (sic). I could have wrecked my car I was so stunned by that.

7. Don't they realize that is how all insurance started out?

Everyone was pooled together to cover those who needed it the most. Then the Insurance Industry started kicking everyone out that had a problem, to increase it's profits. Next thing you know, the Medical Industry increases prices to cover all those who don't have insurance, and they feel that they should increase their profits as well. Health Care transforms into a business, and then the shit really hits the fan, because the Insurance Industry needs to meet and increase profits again.

But hey, as long as dumb asses want to keep paying increasing sky high insurance rates, with decreased coverage, just to avoid paying for someone else... You're right, there is no reasoning with stupidity.

4. This is why Rush argues only with inanimate objects

Photos, audiotapes, videotapes and other inanimate objects don't talk back, and don't insist on steering a conversation where Rush doesn't want it to go. So when Rush wants to talk about how po' folk don't "deserve" opulent homes on the beach, he talks about opulent homes on the beach. And that somehow becomes the irrefutable argument against universal health care. In this instance, Shatner screws it all up by insisting that "we're talking about health care." Rush gets discombobulated, arguing with a real person who can speak for himself, and winds up making moral arguments about his nice house on the beach.
