Here’s a short video that addresses the assault that the U.S. federal government is conducting on the health of people in red states and counties.

Of course, this is another fine example of what Lyndon Johnson said: “If you can convince the lowest white man that he’s better than the finest black man, he’ll open up his wallet to you.”

In this case, uneducated white people don’t care about their own ignorance or poverty or disease, as long as their president is vigorously punishing non-whites.

Gutting America’s Healthcare in Rural (MAGA) Areas

To the point being made at left, I’m a progressive, but I honestly couldn’t care less if white people of the American south want to wallow in incest, disease, poverty, and ignorance.

On the other hand, I am concerned about the plight of hungry children, homeless veterans, the collapse of the environment, the destruction of the educational system, and the criminal psychosis of the U.S. president.

Cynicism Incarnate

At left is a question typical of a Republican moron.  Might someone say, “No, taxes don’t need to be spent on things that serve our interests?”

The question, of course, is what actually does serve our interests.

Believe it or not, there are people in countries on this planet who think that tax money serves their interest if it goes to creating a healthier, happier, better educated, more humane society.

These are the same countries that tax rich people heavily, where attaining a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars is extremely difficult–probably impossible. But those nations don’t have homeless veterans living in the street and presidents who are rapists and convicted felons.
