Unnecessarily rude. I suggest you think twice before posting again, Daniel.

This guy needs our charity, not our political opinions.

He is planning on relying on both Medicare and Medicaid. He already has our political opinions, and thank goodness he does.

Individuals shouldn't have to rely on popularity contests to be cared for when tragedy strikes: as a society we should care for everyone in the same situation. Charity, while good for the individual, is bad for society because it takes away from the importance of providing equally-available support.

It's a reasonable argument, but he has problems that need solving now. If someone's hungry, you give them food; a philosophy lecture is not edible.

Actually, that's not what this sounds like at all. He's protecting his assets for his children and preparing so he can receive public assistance; he's not about to starve or be kicked out of his home or taken off life support or have to file for bankruptcy. He isn't even raising money for immediately necessary expenses; he is raising money for foreseeable care expenses in the future.

Your hyperbole is rather baffling; I don't see the purpose behind it.

Given s_henry_paulson's sadness enough to comment, I'd say it's likely he has donated. Funnily enough I don't see why it's necessary for you to be outright rude to him.

Edit: I'm glad you've dropped the threat nonsense.
