That tragedy is exactly what it's like to live in a true capitalistic society, and if it's dog eat dog for the winners, then it should be dog eat dog for everyone.
And it's no use trying to insist on rules concerning who can eat who and what constitutes food in this carnivore paradise. Not when the other side has just discovered a new way to win. All's fair in love and war - they say.
Sorry for your loss, i was under the impression England was like Australia's heath care system that it was free? How would he incur debt? My father passed through cancer but he had heaps of treatment and removals without payment a cent?
Sorry if im ignorant but yeah i was under the impression England had a better healthcare system than Australia?

You sound like a paranoid loon man. No one is coming to get you.
If you guys aren't screaming about fictional communists, you're thinking some hippies will really care enough to come to your house.
Your corporate fascist beliefs have warped your mind into a state of paranoia and fear.

Email: 'Time to kill the wealthy'
www.politico.com
(visit the link for the full news article)
Several influential New York lawmakers have received threatening emails saying it is “time to kill the wealthy” if they don’t renew the state’s tax surcharge on the millionaires, according to reports.
“It’s time to tax the millionaires!” reads the email, according to WTEN in Albany. “If you don’t, I’m going to pay a visit with my carbine to one of those tech companies you are so proud of and shoot every spoiled Ivy League [expletive] I can find.”

The poster I was replying to lives in the UK, not me. I and my late brother are/were Americans. The underclass of the modern industrialized world. If you're American nothing at all is ever free, and if anyone tries to make anything free, there are clouds of bitter people who descend to condemn them for even suggesting such a criminal idea. The dollar rules here, and human beings are absolutely dispensable. The worst part is that we've been programmed to see this kind of insane lack of worth as freedom. Then again, "freedom is another word for nothing left to lose." It's like confusing worthless and priceless.

Brad Blanton of Luray, Va. had one of the more extreme messages of the protest, saying it was time to literally start eating the wealthy in order to fix economic inequality.
Brad Blanton of Luray, Va. advocated cannibalism and wore an expletive-laden T-shirt. Madeleine Morgenstern/The Blaze
“They‘re devouring us and now it’s time we start devouring them back,” Blanton said. “I’m advocating cannibalism.”
But actual cannibalism? Apparently so.
“We ought to cut ‘em up and have a little ritual where we call it communion,” Blanton said. “We’re all cannibals, all human beings are cannibals. What we need to do is start eating from the top instead of the bottom.”
And again, just so there was no mistake:
“First we ought to kill them and eat them. I think cannibalism is the answer. Second to that, just regulate the hell out of them, that’d be okay,” Blanton said

I can't undertsand stupid comments like this. 'The dollar rules here' this person says.
So I ask a question. If you could earn three times more than you have ever earned in your life would you want it or reject it?
If I offerred you a million dollars woudl you take it or reject it because of materalism.
No all you pillocks go and join the growing line of hypocrites!
Me, I really don't care one way or the other. If I need something - and really, really need it - I'll simply go get it. If it's yours, and you won't allow me to use it for what I need it for, then you'll be directly between me and what it takes for me to survive, and that will require me to apply whatever means is necessary to facilitate my own survival. If that involves a symbiotic arrangement, then that'll work just fine for me. If it involves an exchange for something that I have that you want, then I'm good with that too. If it involves having to eliminate you, then I'm just as happy with that scenario. If fact, I'm good with allowing you to choose the terms of the exchange.
I also have no sense of material right or wrong. There are only survival imperative expressions, and they vary from decidedly Masculine expressions (Competition, Isolation, establishment of Identity...or ownership) to decidedly Feminine expressions (Symbiosis, Association, Expansion of association) as far as I'm concerned, and I have no interest in anyone else's definition of how to keep score as I work out how well I'm doing in the survival game.

You painted the wealthy with a broad brush.
Pretend this is the tax bracket:
(10% tax across the board).
$20,000 (per year) x 10% tax (.10) = $2,000 owed in taxes. - Lower Class
$30,000 (per year) x 10% tax (.10) = $3,000 owed in taxes.
$60,000 (per year) x 10% tax (.10) = $6,000 owed in taxes. - Middle Class
$100,000 (per year) x 10% (.10) = $10,000 owed in taxes.
$250,000 (per year) x 10% (.10) = $25,000 owed in taxes. Upper Class
$1.0 million (per year) x 10% (.10) = $100,000 owed in taxes. - Top 2% - Wealthy Class
Who is paying more taxes?
While "OccupyWallStreet"' and the president are saying one thing, the reality behind class warfare is something entirely different. Top 2% pay more taxes than all the other classes combined.
Using the actual and current tax scale: My uncle made $1.0 million dollars last year, and he had to pay $400,000 of it toward taxes.
How much are you paying in taxes?
