o'slave - "Why pay for the care of the careless?" by Dr. Starner Jones

Today's government-owned slaves are the result of a 'culture' aka "The Great Society" perpetrated upon America by Lyndon Baines Johnson, the New Deal domestic agenda of Franklin D. Roosevelt and stalled initiatives from John F. Kennedy's New Frontier.  Roosevelt proposed a progressive socialist "Second Bill of Rights" which with the other 'cradle-to-grave' initiatives have led to an expectation of services by generations trapped by 'government welfare' slave-holders.   A culture that thinks "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me"  has produced what we now have ...a product of that slave culture: o'who?.


He who opines that we have "a Constitution that is fundamentally flawed" for "not mandating 'redistribution of wealth."    Quote, " ..one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court-focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change."   Thus, he himself exemplifies the essence of  the 'cradle-to-grave' slave mentality. -- rfh  (refs: Wikipedia)

"You seem to consider the judges as the final arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one that would put us under the despotism of an oligarchy."
-- Thomas Jefferson wrote this to William Jarvis

Jefferson also said, "If our nation be destroyed, it would be from the judiciary."
-- Thomas Jefferson (b.1743-d.1826), 3rd President of the United States: 1801-1809

Please meet Dr Starner Jones from Jackson, Mississippi

His short 2-paragraph letter to the White House accurately puts the blame on a "Culture Crisis" instead of a "Health Care Crisis."  It's worth a quick read:
   
Dear Sirs:

During my last night's shift in the ER, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient with an expensive shiny gold tooth, multiple elaborate expensive tattoos, a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and a new cellular telephone equipped with her favorite R&B tune for a ringtone.  Glancing over the chart, one could not help noticing her payer status: Medicaid.  She smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and, somehow, still has money to buy beer. 

And our Congress expects me to pay for this woman's health care?  Our nation's health care crisis is not a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses.   It is a crisis of culture.  A culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance.

Life is really not that hard.  Most of us reap what we sow.
