In reply to the discussion: Exchange between Bill Clinton and New Mexico Resident Illustrates Deceptive Framing of Key Issues [View all]1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)24. Yes I did ...
And yes I wrote that.
So that's exactly where I got the idea you don't realize people die from poverty. That and when I've asked you in the past why we have to pick which people will die you never respond.
This is what I'm talking about a bullshit frame ... I'm talking about you, in the generic sense, as an economic primacy advocate ... after looking at the demographic of those advocates ... they are not dying as a result of poverty.
And, I have respond to the "pick who dies" question ... numerous times.
Now back to "it's really about your own purse". Show me where anything I've said has led you to believe that, or at least to think you are justified in stating it.
Take a moment to notice how you switch back and forth between, "it's not about me ... it's about the poor (who I am not)" and making it about you.
Does that mean anything to you, vis-à-vis, my "it's really about your own purse" comment?
