Ryan confronted by cancer patient who says ObamaCare saved his life

9. Because for the last 40+ years...

Conservatives, have been inundated with the "pull yourself up by the bootstraps", why should my taxes go to that other guy, evangelical prosperity gospel bullshit at every single place they would go for information. We have an entire generation who believes in St Regan and capitalism all nourished on the teet of Ayn Randian malarkey. The idea of the general "commons" or helping others has been replaced by a self serving ideology that has mutated into the current GOP and, frankly, some "progressive" agendas. We are no longer a country that says if my neighbors house is on fire I would gladly use my water and hose to help put it out ala FDR...we question and gripe and bitch about taxes and how someone got a "refund they didn't deserve while I had to pay taxes". Most people today refuse to have a common empathy unless they end up faced with hardship and adversity in their own lives. It is a sad reflection on the change this country has taken in 40+ years but it is the truth. I applaud this man for speaking truth to the smug Randian acolyte that is Paul Ryan. What I wouldn't give to have a forum to speak to his nasty face and ask him such heartfelt poignant questions.
