Say You, Say Me--Part III

Say You:

"We need to accept the principle that sometimes poor people will die just because they are poor."--  Economist Tyler Cowen outlining why republicans should abandon any thoughts of healthcare equality, and enact a survival of the fittest position with regard to providing healtcare services.

Say Me:

As long as I live and breathe, I would never, ever accept such a "principle" (words have meaning--this is not a principle, it's psychopathic heartlessness--this man has no more sympathy for human life than Charles Manson or Ted Bundy).  I refuse to believe that anywhere near a majority of Americans would accept such an ignoble outcome--a majority of republicans and Antoinettes, even a vast majority, but not of all Americans.

This is why we need to re-elect President Obama.  This is why we need to hold the Senate and win back the House.  The sentiment espoused by Mr. Cowen is not the rantings of fringe republicanism--it is the mainstream school of thought in their party.  It strikes at the very backbone of what makes America and Americans so great.

And if this "principle" ever does become acceptable here in America, the exodus for all places not the United States would be stupefying.
