I am for decentralizing the government as much as we can. Obamacare is destined for failure.
That said, I think everyone can agree that the system is/has been broken based on some of the anecdotes about doctors able to bypass insurance and charging two different prices to insurance companies and patients. So why in 8 years of a Republican president was healthcare reform never tackled, aside from the rhetoric about frivolous malpractice suits?
Also, framing everything as "us workin' folk" versus the "shitstain deadbeats" makes supposedly conservative people sound like assholes. It also comes off as pretty un-Christian (not that all conservatives are or claim to be Christians). Just saying.
I have no problem coming across that way- if in fact it was directed at me.
I get it both ways- as a Small Business owner paying jacked up taxes and a tax payer that has worked every day of my life since I was 17. So yeah, I do have a me against them mentality for the most part.
It simply sends me in orbit to see seemingly healthy people, illegal immigrants, and 15 year old mothers with 5 kids stand in line for their weekly handouts. Its bullshit.
Now- I have no problem with LEGITIMATE people in need....there will always be people that need assistance. And that's what welfare and handouts were originally for. Sadly, the actual people who truly need the help are a MINORITY when it comes to gov't help.
But this fucking disaster this country has going on now with perfectly capable working people and illegals sitting idley by waiting on their handouts to arrive???
Shit.
And if you are going to throw Christianity into the mix...how about applying it to the lying shitbags who bilk the taxpayers so they can live off others for free. I think its un-christianlike to lie, isn't it?
