A few years ago I was discussing the fact that I could not afford to pay an estimated medical bill on my 11.00 an hour CS rep salary. with the head of HR. Mind you, I had health insurance--just couldn't afford to use it.

I'll never forget the response that HR director gave me.

She looked me dead in the eye and said, "Don't worry; you can pay $20 a month forever. They have to take whatever payment you give them."

And that's exactly where we're at as a country.

Half of us are regarded as peasants who will always somehow manage by hook-or-crook.

"Keep showing up for work, sucker, and take whatever crumbs we give you. You're lucky to have a job at all, working class stooge," is the attitude.

Can't afford medical care? Dental work? New glasses or a used car? Decent food? A house?

Then die, loser. Your only value to society is your ability to work and create profit for your overlords.

PS. Cato advised a similar strategy back in the glory days of ancient Rome.
When asked what he would do with old slaves too physically broken down to work anymore he advised: " Cut them loose or kill them."

That is capitalism in a nutshell.
