Everybody labels these folks the working class. They interpret that to mean that minorities are lazy. Race is at the forefront of their objections to Obamacare. The Republicans blocked reforms that everyone knew were needed. These gullible racists now expect Orange Jesus to save them. I am reminded of the story of an Arkansas legislator who was involved in a two passenger motor vehicle accident in his youth. The guy was drunk and because seat belts were not worn,  it was unclear who was driving. Both the legislator and his pal were drunk. The legislator was paralyzed by the accident. The legislator was uninsured. Medicaid paid his $1 million dollar hospital bill. The Arkansas legislator voted against Obamacare for his fellow citizens because he was certain that many of them did not work hard enough to deserve the same benefits his drunken behind received. This is about race and class. </p> <p><a href="http://crooksandliars.com/2014/02/rep-josh-miller-benefited-medicaremedicaid">http://crooksandliars.com/2014/02/rep-josh-miller-benefited-medicaremedi...</a></p> </div></div></div> Wed, 14 Dec 2016 13:20:53 +0000 rmrd0000 comment 231470 at http://dagblog.com
