If you ain't got the moola...

America is a great country. You can get virtually anything you want. If you can pay for it. That includes health care. Including some amazing medical procedures. The catch, of course, is that it's pretty expensive. And a big number of Americans can't even afford the basics. The insurance costs too much. Well, as an American citizen, I want universal health care. Yes, basic service for everyone. Regardless of income. I think that Barack Obama and the Democrats, particularly the liberals, are headed in that direction. It's been a tough fight. But it's looking more and more like a winning one. Despite vehement opposition from Republicans. The GOP moreorless represents the rich. And they can afford just about anything. And they really don't seem to care all that much about the rest of us. Their advice for the poor and middle classes is get rich. Take advantage of the capitalist society. Afterall, we're a nation founded on the principle of survival of the fit -- er, I mean richest. If you ain't got the moola, get to the back of the line. Come to the front when you can buy your way. --Jim Broede
