This toon sums up the RW attitude towards health care better than anything else I've seen

[n2doc]

not just health care, either....

[patrice]

1. Yep, that's those Pro-Lifers, and TransNationalCo who uses them to get rich, alright.

Slaves to Mammon all.

[david13]

2. Yeah. A Pro-Lifer.

[pleah]

3. Yep.

K&R

[Lugnut]

4. That's it exactly!

K&R

[pacalo]

5. K&R! Perfect!

[slay]

6. K&R

sad but true

[Pacifist Patriot]

7. Does anything else need to be said?

[Laelth]

8. Truth hurts.

Republicans are often painful as well.

:dem:

9. Higher taxes?

We probably wouldn't have to pay higher taxes if they used about one seventh of the "defense" budget to fund healthcare.

[destes]

27. There is absolutely no reason that ANY new taxes would need to

be enacted to fund Universal Health Care. Premiums now paid to health insurance providers from private and employer provided accounts are MUCH MORE than adequate to finance the whole thing!

However, it would be nice to finally see the military budget cut down or at least have some sort of transparency in it's allocation. The last time that was tried, Carter was left looking like a fool paying $2500 for toilet seats. It was all a scam to hide the fact that most of the military budget pays for covert "nation building". Reagan was able to come in after that and claim how he was cutting wasteful spending and taking the Soviet "evil" empire out at the same time. And most Americans bought that load of crap. Still do.

10. Onto Facebook with this one. Thanks!

[WonderGrunion]

11. K&R

Awesome toon.

[Hoyt]

12. That's It Exactly.

Throw in those who profit from the system; some bigotry; ingnorance; and a few similar character flaws -- and we've got the whole picture.

Great toon.

[DesertRat]

13. Hits the nail on the head! k&r

[troubledamerican]

14. Incorrect cartoon.

When I hear Thom Hartmann repeat Alan Greenspan's famous quote:

"My job is to maintain a certain level of worker insecurity" ...

And I look at the Neo-feudal goals of certain right-wing think tanks...

And I look at the Business Plot of 1933...

And I look at Banana Republics of Latin America...

It's not just about higher taxes or selfishness.

Certain right-wingers want a permanent underclass. For cheap labor purposes.

Free labor, if possible.

[Enthusiast]

16. Welcome to DU, troubledamerican!

They want to return to the glorious days of yesteryear. The days when wealth was inherited or stolen, and possibly both. Influence was purchased (only). And we ain't fur from it.

:fistbump: (terrorist fist bump) :rofl:

[troubledamerican]

32. Watch for Gingrich to propose ending child labor laws when the economy gets worse

And thanks for the enthusiastic hospitality

[Enthusiast]

34. Child labor laws?

It would be for their own good. You know, teach them to be hard working upright citizens. :rofl:

[47of74]

15. K and R

It's the truth, after all.

[PatSeg]

17. Disturbingly accurate

[santamargarita]

18. Yep, that's our Republican Health Care System...

and both must go!

[yellowdogintexas]

25. sums up why I could never vote for a Republican. nt

[Arkansas Granny]

19. K&R

[liberal N proud]

20. Nailed

[griloco]

21. help me cuz i'm kinda removed from current affairs

exactly how many Americans
has the axis of evil killed?

[musette_sf]

22. enjoy your stay

:crazy:

[mdmc]

26. I didn't know North Korea has killed any American in the last decade

:shrug:
Does Obama have a new axis for us to deal with?

[griloco]

35. not sure

but i would guess one could make a case
for including those who cause americans ill

[mdmc]

37. lots of folk fit that discription my friend

but it is getting smaller and smaller ..
now with a new face for America - there are less people worldwide causing us ill..

[griloco]

38. aye

the republican party is shrinking

[The Wizard]

23. Sometimes Republicans

believe Darwin's theory, at least when it fits their narrow views.

[Delphinus]

24. OMG!

You're so right!

Can I use it?

[Wapsie B]

28. So true. I wonder however if people like this will feel the same way

if they lose their job and health insurance and it's their life or the life of their children in the balance? Or if their health insurance plan refuses to pay for a procedure deemed experimental and unnecessary which results in the death of a spouse or a child? It's just so easy to live in anger.

[gratuitous]

30. They won't recognize it

It was a couple of weeks ago, some guy in Ohio was talking about how tough times were. He wanted to know where his bailout was. He'd lost his job and had to get by on unemployment benefits and food stamps.

[snappyturtle]

29. Kick!

:kick:

[Politicub]

31. Kick! One of the best toons I've seen in a while

I'm sending this out to some RW folks I know.

[Hayabusa]

33. Amen!

Seems to me like this cartoon is far too true.

[Neecy]

36. wow - that's so perfect
