Ugly Americans
I don't get it. What kind of society believes people should have to suffer immeasurably and go broke in order to justify getting help from their own government?

"Bad things happen to good people, and they cause financial problems and tough choices," Mark Steyn wrote on the National Review Online. "But, if this is the face of the 'needy' in America, then no-one is not needy."

I mean, what kind of idiot thinks that way? Because, quite frankly, from where I sit no middle class family in the United States ISN'T just one tragedy away from needy. It would be like that here, too, if we didn't have universal publicly funded healthcare. It USED to be like that, in fact. But we civilized our savages and finally won for ourselves what every citizen who isn't poor and stupid and proud of it should want - for themselves and for everybody else.
Good gawd in heaven. What a fucked up mess of a freak show the United States really and truly is.
