Enron got huge taxpayer subsidies. Poor SCHIP kids get vetoes. Does GWB = Federalization of the wealthy?

Question

.

Energy companies receive between $10 - $35 Billion in U.S. Taxpayer Subsidies. Kenneth Lay / Enron was the largest career contributor to the Bush Family.

Bush vetoed the SCHIP program for poor kids because he stated it moved health care closer to Federalization.

Basic health care is a right for ALL United States Citizens.

Laissez-Faire Corporate profits (unregulated, unrestricted, unaccountable) is a perceived right that the ultra wealthy have bestowed upon themselves. And why isn't the Bush administration's unprecedented support of corporate welfare perceived as "Federalization for the Wealthy?

Answer 1

The American right tries to push an agenda of uncompromising Social Darwinism.If you can't afford it,you don't deserve to get it,that's the whole idea in a nutshell.

Social Darwinism, term coined in the late 19th century to describe the idea that humans, like animals and plants, compete in a struggle for existence in which natural selection results in “survival of the fittest.” Social Darwinists base their beliefs on theories of evolution developed by British naturalist Charles Darwin. Some social Darwinists argue that governments should not interfere with human competition by attempting to regulate the economy or cure social ills such as poverty. Instead, they advocate a laissez-faire political and economic system that favors competition and self-interest in social and business affairs. Social Darwinists typically deny that they advocate a “law of the jungle.” But most propose arguments that justify imbalances of power between individuals, races, and nations because they consider some people more fit to survive than others.

This is jungle capitalism,survival of the fittest.It also shows most of the American right isn't pro life but pro birth.Once you're out of the womb you better have parents with money or you're on your own.
It's unhealthy for any form of Democracy if big money and political parties are in bed together

That's the issue here.The American right ranting and raving socilaism is gonna take over America with no basis in reality while they are pushing social Darwinism,According to ThinkQuest:
Social Darwinist thinking stems from the fact that the theory falls into the “naturalistic fallacy,” which consists of trying to derive an ought statement from an is statement. For example, the fact that you stubbed your toe this morning does not logically imply that you ought to have stubbed your toe! The same argument applies to the Social Darwinists’ attempt to extend natural processes into human social structures. This is a common problem in philosophy, and it is commonly stated that it is absolutely impossible to derive ought from is (though this is still sometimes disputed); at the very least, it is impossible to do it so simply and directly as the Social Darwinists did.

Answer 2

wake up. Medicaid was once the only choice for the poor. look at how costly the program IS. how poor cannot get access to alot of doctors right away. how kids cannot get routine dental care. THIS IS A GOVERNMENT HEALTH PLAN. so how is universal health care going to be better ??????? everyone, including the middle class, will get over-priced sub-quality care ?????? Medicaid: will not pay for tooth restorations (just the cheap metal caps). braces, probably not. and in Ohio, what SCHIP will cover today may not be the case when your child has the surgery three months down the road. Oh, but the liberals say everyone has the right to health care. Poor already have it, and they are used to sucky service. Why not do what our forefathers did. The time you take to protest the government you should protest how companies have abandoned workers and worker rights to benefits. The Wal-Marts of America know they don't need to pay much, nor provide affordable benefit packages. heck, on what they pay the employee can go right from payroll office to the welfare office to get the free government benefits. More profit for the company!! just look at CEO pay in the last 20 yrs. Workers today whine to the government, workers of yesterday took their fight to the streets. They walked off their job and went on strike demanding fair benefits for the workers PAID BY THE COMPANY, not Uncle Sam. what a disgrace we have become.

Answer 3

The Rupugnuts here are having a difficult time answering this because they know you are right. Funny these are are the same people that have been barbequing Hillary for taking campaign contributions from this Hsu guy. Of course, it's okay for Bush to have taken funds from the crooks at Enron..after all, they've probably shared tips on how to 'cook the books' so to speak.

Answer 4

Bush and the neocons only care about rich Americans.

Only in America do rich utility companies get subsidies, while poor kids don't get health insurance.

Answer 5

Energy companies provide valuable products to Americans
