Point & Counter Point: Entitled To Health Care

Another debate with another dimwit. This one is an argument on weather or not the poor are entitled to health care.

Me: Alright so you do think that people are entitled to health care.

Lib: Yes. Absolutely.

Me: Ok so can you point to me where in the bill of RIGHTS, that is found?

Lib: Um, well it's not in there but it is common sense that everyone should get health care.

Me: Let me ask you something. How do we pay for this?

Lib: Well the top 5% earners already make a ton of money and therefore are expected to pay their fair share-

Me: They pay 40% of the bill.

Lib: Well but they should be paying more the poor are the one's hit the hardest-

Me: They pay 2.7%. The top 5% pay 40%. 40%!

Lib: Well they don't, they need to pay it fair.

Me: Hang on, let me see if i understand this, 40%, 40%. It is, less than 2.7%? Are you telling me, that 2.7%, is more than 40%?

Lib: Ok so like-

Me: Oh, oh now i see, i get it, now it's time to back pedal. You want that one back?

Lib: I mean they should pay for it because they have the most money.

Me: No if it weren't for them then there would be no health care. If it weren't for them those who pay 2.7% of the bill would be unemployed.

Lib: Well...

Me: Alright let me ask you thin, you're saying that the top 5% owe it to the people to pay for the health care bill correct?

Lib: Yes, th-

Me: Ok so what did they do?

Lib: What?

Me: What did they do? What did they do to owe them debt?

Lib: Do you mean like...?

Me: No, no, YOU said that they OWE it to the people to pay for it. What have they done, that they owe them a debt.

Lib: They make tons of money an-

Me: And so why do they owe them anything?

Lib: Because they can-

Me: Really so just because i CAN buy some one's home or just because i CAN build on a preserved land area means i should?

Lib: No that's not what i'm saying at all.

Me: You are telling me that they owe them a debt. They owe them health care!

Lib: Yes they do,

Me: And i'm asking you what they did to owe them debt! What happened? Did they lose a lawsuit case? Did they...uh.. what, what, what did they do?

Lib: Well they

Me: Do they not owe the top 5% anything? Like thanks? Or maybe gratitude?

Lib: Ok i see your point. I kind of agree with it-

Me: So do you have an answer? Why do they owe them health care? Cause you can't find it in the bill of rights, and you can't explain why they are entitled to it and why the rich owe it to them to pay for it.

Lib: Um i don't know, you're not talking about entitlement-

Me: No that's exactly what i'm talking about. Ah get out of here. You don't know. You can't explain. That's it. They cannot explain how all of the sudden the top 5% or the rich, uh, owe the poor health care. They didn't do anything. They made money, they succeeded. They are not entitled to it.

If they are please explain it to me. What happened. How do the rich now "owe them a debt?"

It doesn't make sense. They don't make sense. I asked him, several times. He couldn't tell me. See this is some one with a big mouth and a small mind.
