Like I said I am NOT in favor of giving up what I have earned for "Do Nothing" people.
But what of those "Do" People who occupy those lower/lower-middle class jobs which make up the infrastructure of our country who just can't afford a decent health insurance policy for themselves and their families? Not bums, just fucked?
Then again, notice how people with insurance always preach that it's a privlege, not a right. I'm reminded of the Gospel of Wealth mentality in Victorian Times when the rich (most born into money and comfort) would say that the poor could be money too if only God was behind them.
I am sorry to say that the government will go right back to those smaller businesses and make them pay thru the nose, paying for all of this.
Well big businesses too. Don't be discriminating man. That's unChristian of you.
Many of them will then slowly let their worker go.
Already did, its called "Insourcing", you know....foreign cheap labor, most without legitimate green cards?
, as they fail because of the demands put on them. So by trying to help all these extra people you will also put so many small business out there in the same boat.
Yeah fuck those 40 million Americans. They aint American enough.
We bail out the big companies that screwed the public. Banks get tons of money, but have you seen what they are giving all the hard working people who are trying to save a buck in one of their banks. less then 1 to 1.5% interest. Talk about screwing people while they show record profits.
Bullshit is bi-partisan.
The housing crisis happened because people who couldn't afford homes got them, because "everyone" should have the dream of home ownership. Yea Right!
A failing of Compassionate Conservatism and liberalism I suppose.
Everyone made money giving folks home loans or sales commissions on housing sales, but who now pays for it all.Yes, the tax payers once again.
Of course. What you gonna do about it? Nothing. Don't worry, that's my fate as well.
How about student loans. How may people never pay a dime back or very little. But everyone need a college education right. Sure as long as it is on the back of someone else.
Some countries have free university education...but its budgets with miniscule military expenditures, i.e. Portugal.
We'll never do that.
What ever happen to pay your own way?
Yeah, what happened to that in our Republic founded by George Washington and other wealthy men born to prestige and power?
Nah, just charge it on a charge card until you have to go bankrupt.
The government and corporations do that. why not us too?
Your right things are like an empty shell, drained by all the take care of me people!
Who exactly are these..."take care of me" people, and where do they live?
C'mon, be honest. We're all a happy family here.
