No. The Republican National Convention cheered the idea of letting the poor and sick just die off in the streets. They cheered. Ron Paul asked "what are we supposed to do? Let our sick and poor just die cold in the streets?" and they cheered.
Jobs are sacred in the U.S. Job creators must be worshipped. Hard-working Americans are the lifeblood of yadda yadda. As soon as you don't have a job: fuck you, scum, you deserve to die in the streets. You are no longer of use to the wealthy, so you do not even have the dignity to sleep on benches or under bridges: they add spikes to any area you might find any comfort. Your children cannot receive an education. You get to disappear from view into some secluded slum until you die of the cold. It's not GP that decided that. It's tens (hundreds?) of millions of Americans who will cheer on your death if you lose your job. Most of which, of course, are a couple paychecks or a major illness away from being homeless themselves. Do not act like that's not a real thing.
