Man Uses $1m Win To Finally Visit Doctor, Gets Terminal Cancer Diagnosis, Dies

I'm just slightly right of middle on most issues. The lefties here just project a far-right bogeyman caricature onto anyone right of HRC.

I have mostly talked religion here w/ you. The only taste of your politics I've gotten is your "Conservatives are better looking" or "Wal-Mart pays more because of tax cuts" threads, so (in my case at least) you projected that boogey man on yourself.

But anyway, you've clarified your position as a right-leaning centrist, so now I know.

Aside from old money, people who are treated as more than a machine by their employers worked hard to get to that point. People treated as replaceable are generally...replaceable.

The problem is that a lot of hard working people are treated as replaceable, and so many conservatives like to gloss over this point. They like to paint people who make low income as "a bunch of bums" when that is a gross mischaracterization.

The heart of the issue is this: the person stocking shelves at your local Wal-Mart is replaceable--it doesn't matter if he's hard-working or not. But without somebody doing that job, nobody could go to Wal-Mart and buy shit. People like to tout the value of job creators, but forget the fact that job creators wouldn't be able to do jack without an army of job doers. Regardless of how expendable the market regards such people, the working class offers something valuable to society, and we couldn't live without them.

He will just insist that the shelf stocker didn't work hard enough or he did something wrong thus deserves to be poor a miserable .
