I keep thinking of Tom MacArthur, the Republican congressman from New Jersey. Some years ago he lost his 11-year-old daughter to cancer, the worst thing a human being can experience. In January he said that because of this, because he saw the million-dollar medical bill, he could never vote to take someone else’s insurance away. Then after the first AHCA died because it wasn’t sadistic enough for the Freedom Caucus, it was resurrected a month later, and Tom MacArthur wrote the amendment that made it palatable to the Freedom Caucus this time. He’s the reason it got a second chance, and what empowered the senate to make their own version. MacArthur is worth tens of millions, he’s one of the richest men in congress, he has no use for a lobbyist’s money, and the tax cuts he stands to gain are a sliver of his overall wealth. Congress has never been a place known for upstanding citizens, but we’re dealing with a level of evil that normal people are having a hard time wrapping their heads around.

“When the Lakota leader Sitting Bull was asked by a white reporter why his people loved and respected him, Sitting Bull replied by asking if it was not true that among white people a man is respected because he has many horses, many houses? When the reporter replied that was indeed true, Sitting Bull then said that his people respected him because he kept nothing for himself.” —Joseph Bruchac:

They forgot the part about relying on us military to take care of them
I figured you'd agree with the former 100%. As for the latter isn't that the same agreement that we had with Japan and Germany post WW2 ?
