Nic - I can find it in my heart to allow the same care for others. I just don't want to be the one paying for their care and mine.
People are talking about how we have to be “fair and justâ€Â, and that we have moral obligation blah blah blah. What about people being responsible for themselves? In school, did you have someone else do your work, attend your classes, and then you get the diploma? How about work? Do you go to work and just sit there while someone else does your job, and you collect a paycheck?
Why should the govt have to burden any of us with heavy and excessive taxes to pay for people who are too ignorant or stupid to take care of themselves? I know, I know, "what a mean and arrogant thing to say". Bite me! I graduated high school, joined the marines, served in Panama and the 1st Gulf War. Got out of the military, got a job, worked my up the corporate ladder. I could have stayed in corporate America as a worker-bee (manager or above) but realized I could do better on my own. I've never asked anyone for a hand-out, but I've asked plenty for a hand-up.
If the govt programs were offering people a hand-up, sure...I'd be more than happy to help. But they aren't. Do some govt programs help people who truly need it? Sure, but do those same programs allow people to abuse the system…hell yes! We need checks and balances with all these programs. They need to be audited and adjusted. A perfect example of how the left is yelling at the right is the Fair Housing Act. People think the republicans are all upset about who gets to buy a house and where people can live. If that’s what you think then you need a history lesson. The Housing Act was introduced by Carter in the 70’s. He wanted to allow fair housing for everyone, saying there is no reason for someone to not be a homeowner. Reagan and Bush Sr both made some adjustments, and then Clinton slammed it with a policy not requiring anyone to show proof of income or immigration status. Now you tell me how the republicans are to blame for that!
This healthcare reform is just another govt run program which is going to fail miserably because the govt has not business being in this business, and business directing or ordering businesses how to run in this industry.
