    Creating a single payer wont do a thing to help that either. Cuz while I'll pay for me and three families to have coverage, the moochers will be busy eating twinkies, big gulps and double whoppers

    Yes, it would be wrong to blame the lazy, mooching, fat pig, chain smoking piece of human feces that ate too many

    Eliminate the minimum wage for low skilled labor and subsidize those wages. The salvage and demo alone of our DP ruled urban hell holes could probably keep our able bodied urban poor working productively for many decades.

    I agree. The term "single payer" is misleading. A more accurate term would be "big profits for PepsiCO and the pharm industry while we die before we can collect Social Security"

    My father commuted an hour and change everyday to Chicago for three decades. My uncle has been doing it for 30 years and at least a half a dozen relatives that I left behind when I moved.

    Impossible? Nah,
    inconvenient? Yes.

    I have it on good authority that the poor in Chicago are choosing to live 30 years less than the rich because they have cigarettes and tattoos and eat meat or have children when they should just be living on a grate saving for a mortgage or something.:rolleyes:

    Apparently they don't like money so they choose poverty instead.

    Or so I'm told.........

    Can't quite put my finger on it, but it sound quite a bit like xenophobia to me.

    It takes 'religion' (or at the very least, rabid ideology) to be blind to it.

    Cringe worthy. Chicago's finest along with Obama.

    Notice how he doesn't even look down at the noose when he takes it off.

    Plus-Smollet was clearly not expecting to be recorded.

    They're not 'defenders', they're clearly telling us that black people shouldn't be expected to behave like rational white folk. They are very VERY ##cist.
