    Nobody said the rich needed more subsidies. We just said that America has a high cancer survival rate, then MrFun did some retarded FTFY crap, then I told him that he was fixing an already accurate statement, then you butted in for no ****ing reason.

    You are the only person talking about giving subsidies to the rich.
    John Brown did nothing wrong.

        Class warfare??

          You just love throwing empty words like "class warfare" around. MTG just wanted to put you in your proper place.

            No, Medicaid is means tested.

            You're the one who inserted some nonsense about rich people into a discussion about overall cancer survival rates. Nobody was talking about rich/poor crap until you came along. So yes, you do seem to want to make it a matter of class warfare. Quit being a lying coward and own up to it.

              So yeah, you were the one to start making this discussion about disparities between economic classes. Own up to it.

                If class warfare means bringing up and discussing topics about issues of inequality, exploitation, and injustice, then I guess "class warfare" is a good thing.

                  You're not bringing up and discussing topics. You're regurgitating Huffington Post talking points, and ignoring studies published in peer reviewed journals like Lancet.

                    Actually, I butted in because you idiots threadjacked a thread about the US military budget. And all the right wing tools who bring up the old "class warfare" line (it's on page 4 of the Official Republican Tool handbook) do so to try to strawman away from any discussion of reforming a political, economic, tax and regulatory system that is stacked in favor of existing wealth and privilege.

                    So wheter you're being an unwitting tool, or a simply a witless tool, your parroting of the "class warfare" line is an indirect argument for maintaining the status quo of subsidies for the rich.

                      On with your discussion.

                      • That's your excuse? MrFun does that obnoxious FTFY bull**** (the absolute lowest form of online discussion) because reality doesn't match what HuffPo tells him, and you jump in to his defense, and your excuse is that I'm perpetuating the rich supremacist power structure, or some other horse****? People who complain about the rich only prove that they suck at life.

                          I did that FTFY remark to make the point that the study that was linked may be flawed if it based cancer survival rate only among the wealthy and upper middle class (eg. those who can afford to get the care they need).

                            I'm not jumping to his defense. I'm trolling your ass because you go for it like a starving large mouth bass going for a bullfrog.

                              Do you have any evidence to support this claim? Is The Lancet only basing its findings on what happens to rich people? I'm not going to spend 30 bucks to buy their full article and find out, but if you have a source who can support your claim, I'd be interested in seeing it.

                                I get it now. MtG is never wrong, and when it appears that he is, he's just "trolling." Because it's easier to claim that you're just a really good troll than to ever admit that you're wrong.
