Uni Health Care

[dry land fish]

I'm not trying to decide who lives and who dies.

But you already made a list of 'who gets what'. You said old folks, some kids, retarded people.....
You were deciding who was worthy of public health assistance.

How can anyone think that it's fair to take money from people to give it to other people? That's what taxes do already.

And is that fair?

......I'm taking sixty dollars of your money to go to the schools, county roads, SSDI, SSI, and then to give to people who are too poor to afford health insurance, food, clothing, and other basic needs.

Pay taxes to pay for schools for those lazy fat bastard that can't afford to pay for their own childrens education. Check

Pay taxes to support those geriatic societal leeches that can't pay for their own retirement. Don't even ask about their needed medications. Check

Would these be abolished in your political ideals? If not, why not? "I DON'T WANT TO" give my hard-earned money to these people! They need to get a job or do something for money and quit leeching off me.

Hypothetical here:

DLF, thru some unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances loses her job, insurance and whatever money she has in the bank. She then contracts an easily treatable, yet expensive and, if left untreated, deadly medical problem.

Does she then say "Oh well, I will die now." ?

Or if it's her Mum under the same circumstances does she tell her "Sorry Mum, get right with your God since you have no money you must die." Or her child.

Taxes that go to poor people are NOT fair. No matter how you look at it it's not fair. Educating people is fair. Educating kids that are born to those "fat lazy bastards" is extremely important. How do you stop the poverty cycle? EDUCATION. We need kids to do well in school and go on to college. There are jobs people can get that are available all over the world. Take my field for example. I can find a geology job anywhere in any country in the world that anyone would care to live in. If the US economy tanks I can move. I'm not opposed to leaving the USA. People need to start thinking outside of the box.

If I lost my job today I'd be ok for at least six months. I do have a savings account. I know that a savings account is unheard of but people need to cut up those credit cards, stop spending money they don't have on crap they don't need, and save their money. Those old people need a retirement account. The old people now lived in a time when a retirement account was unheard of. We need to slowly start getting rid of social security. Slowly start getting rid of welfare. We can't cut it off all at once but we need to start going in that direction. If someone would be smart, get an education, get a good job, and save....they will be fine. Having kids at 18 and working at Wal Mart for twenty years doesn't cut it. Sure we need people to work those jobs and we have tons of high school and college students who are perfect for those minimum wage jobs with no benefits. We need CEO's of those big companies but they actually have went to college and were business majors and I'm sure they contrbute to our economy...not drain it. If people would get a GOOD job they wouldn't need free health care. I don't know any place that pays 60 grand or more a year who doesn't have an awesome health plan. So....if people want good health care they had better get an education and not ass around about it. Why complain about wanting something for free if you can work for it and get it yourself? Don't you think it would be more rewarding for someone to know they EARNED something and were in control of their own life instead of relying on the government to send them their free cheese every month? Don't you want our economy to get better? How is rewarding people for doing NOTHING going to help us? It's going to keep them poor because why would they need to work? Uncle Sam will pay for them if they get sick, Uncle Sam will feed them, give them section eight housing, pay for their babies, pay for their electricity...I mean...seriously is this what this country needs right now? Lets spend all of the money we would be spending on welfare and healthcare to put into our schools. This country has terrible grades in math and science. Those are the two subjects that can make or break a student. We need more engineers, scientists, doctors, chemists, and hydrologists. Lets get kids the best cutting edge technology in their schools and lets get them good teachers to teach them science and math. Lets spend extra money on students who are bad in math to make them good at it and to give them confidence. Especially the poor inner city schools.....they NEED this extra attention if those students are ever going to be more than their parents.
