Starving the beast: the U.S. Military

That linked article does not compare cancer survival rate between upper class, middle class, and lower class.

It doesn't have to. America overall has an outstanding cancer survival rate. You may want to make it a matter of class warfare, but the fact is that reg's statement was accurate.

"Class warfare" The notion of questioning the privileges of our betters is not class warfare. The current system of pampering and coddling the rich is.

That's exactly what class warfare is.

[Felch]

I like how you think that pampering and coddling the rich is just our "current" system. As if rich people historically were the underclass.

That's exactly what class warfare is.

So class warfare is actually a good thing?

[MichaeltheGreat]

No, class warfare is when we line 'em up against the ****in' wall.

That's what I got out of it as well.

How do you get to that point without questioning it? And then what happens after the rich are shot? The men who ordered the rich to be shot just take their place as the new ruling class. In the end, human beings are social animals, and like all social animals we implicitly recognize hierarchy. Even hippie communes have some elder hippie calling the shots. You can either accept that, and try to move up to the top, or you can whine about it like MrFun, and be a ****ing loser.

What's the sense in punishing success, again?

What's the sense in getting so greedy that the poor end up putting you up against a wall and machine gunning you?

I think the plan is to gun down the poors with machine guns if they start getting uppity.

That doesn't happen in America. We provide free healthcare to the poor, and a safety net. If we didn't provide health care to the poor, we wouldn't have such a kick ass cancer survival rate.

How does that work again? Does an unemployed person who gets cancer just go to the emergency room every time he needs a treatment, or is there some other system?

Oh yes, success is sooooo punished here in the US. What's the sense in parroting the "don't pick on the rich people, they need more subsidies and to have the system stacked even more in their favor" when you won't ever do so well as the rich man's dog?
