Follow this link and read what the pretty young girl has written in her notebook. The author of the blog who re-posted her picture is aghast at this from her: “The cancer still grows. That is the American dream.” obviously assuming that the girl just doesn't see why we need better health care and better safety nets in this country so people like her father don't have to suffer, and might live longer.
I believe he's wrong. From my many discussions with a certain kind of conservative, people like this are proud of their suffering. Real Americans get cancer, suffer without complaint, and die, leaving behind a family, without taking a single handout from the government! Just like Real Christians get cancer, suffer, see their businesses decline, live paycheck to paycheck, and never question a God that allows this while scumbags who cheat people out of their savings live long and well.
Sorry liberals, you will never convince people like this that it is a good idea for everyone to pay a little bit more in taxes so that those unlucky enough to get cancer can relax, recover, and spend more of their life enjoying their family.
“The cancer still grows. That is the American dream.” It's not my dream.
