I very rarely spout politics around these parts because it’s entirely subjective and I probably don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about. When my dad was alive, he told my mom two things, “we should never argue about religion and politics. Both are subjective and no matter what we believe, it won’t change our love for each other” and “you’re a hot piece of ass, we should make a baby”. 26 years later and here I am. He was a smart man, however, I’m not as smart as him, so I’m going to bitch about something that’s been topical for the past week: health care reform.
Hi, would you like some free health care?
I have friends on both sides of the fence. Some are liberals and others are conservatives. I’m not going to sit here and write a blog pointing out the fallacy of the entire health care policy. If you want political advice, go to CNN or Fox News. They’ll be more than happy to dish out their “facts” and spin it as truth. My beef is more directed with the mainstream public outside of the political regime.
Analysts and White House factoid-drones estimate the cost for this health care debt will exceed a trillion dollars. The right wing conservatives are up and arms about this. I guess they forgot about the 900 billion they’ve spent bombing foreign brown people since 2003. That’s acceptable, but universal health care for millions of Americans is not worth tax payer dollars? I’m sorry, but we’re OK with killing people and paying for it, but God forbid we help people live a higher quality of life and paying for that invokes feelings of mutiny and frustration!?! We can donate billions of dollars to Haiti because they had a nasty earthquake but when it comes to spending money on our own country, we’re all conservative and stingy? It’s not like anyone gave a fuck about third-world Haiti before people got crushed by earthquake debris.
One of the fancypants arguments I hear is that people don’t want to spend their hard earned tax dollars on contributing to other people’s laziness (so people don’t take advantage of Medicare and Disability?). That one always gets me. Like anyone has a say on where their tax dollars go. It’s a moot argument. No one fills out a form that says, “ok, I would like to allocate a % of my federal income tax for social programs and my favorite Senator’s hooker expenses”. You are going to get taxed regardless. Whether the money goes to HCR or defense, it’s not yours anymore. Our self entitled, spoiled nation wants to constantly think we’re in control of everything. As an American, you have NO RIGHTS! When will you mouth-breathers wake up and realize this? You haven’t had rights for a couple hundred years now. And if you’re delusional enough to think you are living free, try yelling, “FIRE” in a crowded movie theater or walking into a deli and taking a piss on the cheese. Hell, it’s not even legal to kill yourself in this country!
I can’t help but laugh when people criticize President Obama. The poor bastard hasn’t been in office half his term and already people are harping on his track record. We gave Bush two tries and eight years to fix his fuck-ups, yet Obama gets the stink eye? The Bush administration waged 2 unfunded wars, implemented a domestic spying program which renders the 4th amendment moot and turned a budget surplus they inherited into a $1T+ deficit… but FUCK HEALTH CARE REFORM! OBAMA IS RUINING THIS COUNTRY!
News flash, Einstein: our country is already fucked. Let the national deficit get to ten trillion. It won’t matter. None of our generation will see social security. The tax increases O’Bummer is imposing won’t affect 2/3rd’s of us. Unless you’re making $250,000+ a year, you won’t have to pay one extra dime. I’m sure anyone reading this web site is just as poor as I am, otherwise you would be out doing rich person stuff instead of reading my drivel.
Now here’s the dagger: if you think this country and it’s leaders are butt-fucking your tax dollars away, then leave! If you want to control where your money is spent, go to Mexico. Half the population of Mexico is already in California anyways (good luck with the census). At least in Mexico you can spend your money and know exactly where it’s going. If the government isn’t working for you, bribe ‘em. A hundred thousand dollars and they’ll let you run health care down there! Mexico’s version of health care is quite simple, “If you are shot and bleeding to death, we’ll give you some Vicodin and gauze”. As long as you’re not bleeding on a politician in Mexico, they don’t give a flying rat fuck what happens to you. America is no different. Obama actually gives a shit about disenfranchised people and is trying to help them, no matter the cost, and conservatives are pissed off about it.
DRUG CARTEL HEALTH CARE IN ACTION! It's where the money is!
We’ve evolved into a greedy, selfish, and downright despicable nation of self-righteous, arrogant, fucktards. We think because we have freedom of speech that our individual opinions actually matter? They don’t. We think that because we can walk down to the liquor store farting the whole way that we’re free? We’re not. We’re all cogs in a big machine that has been running for hundreds of years behind our eyes. We sit here as armchair critics all worried that the big, bad gov’ment is gonna take away our freedoms! The government can’t take away what you don’t have.
Let Obama serve his presidency. If you want to hate him after he’s out of office, go right ahead. At least then you’ll have a time-line to back up whatever argument you have against the man and his administration. Until then, understand that he not only inherited the largest debt in American history, but two “wars”, a horrible foreign policy aimed at destabilizing the Middle East, and an economy that was completely tanked in the real estate sector, the financial market, and depreciating in the currency trade, as well. Haiti has a better chance at economic revival than we do, but give Barack Obama credit for trying. He’s done more in one year than Bush ever did. We all lobbied and voted for Obama and chanted “CHANGE!” during his run for presidency, now he’s actually changing things and we’re all butt hurt about what he’s trying to do. We’re a bunch of spoiled little babies that don’t know what the fuck we want.
Personally, I think we should all shut the fuck up and let the black man do his thing. At the very worst, at least we can get some free prescription drugs out of the deal. What’s wrong with that?
