11. Rich People Get Morons To Do Their Bidding For Them

They convince idiots that what's good for them (the wealthy) applies to their (the idiots) lives. If you're wealthy, the health care in America is great. Chris Rock once said that if people could see what health care is like for the rich (private suites and such), people would revolt. Nobody sees it. Instead they see some numbnuts surfer on welfare, minorities looting, faceless fat people walking down the street, etc...

Socialized care would be better for the 99%. The 1% has the money, power, media...they get the coverage they want. They get the story of the 1 person who had to wait for coverage and came to America for treatment on the news. The however many millions of Americans who didn't get care, went bankrupt paying for care, etc... -- you don't hear shit about that.
