I resent when people whine for something and
expect to have it given to them, like the gift is their rightful due. No. It’s
not. Welfare, affordable healthcare…no. Not a right. Sorry to break it to you
liberal and socialist self-entitled, wanting the nanny state to do everything
for them, wussies. Those are privileges that should be earned, otherwise maybe
everyone should just quit their jobs and live off the largesse of the
government.
For example, I don’t want to pay for a perfectly
healthy person on welfare diagnosed with depression. The cure for depression is working one’s
booty off, not sitting at home munching on Doritos. It is. Exercise has proven to be just as, if not
more, effective to dealing with normal cases of depression. I digress, though. However, I don’t mind helping out a poor
person with multiple sclerosis. Or having my taxes go toward helping retired
people. I’m just saying too many people
are on social security and welfare that do not need to be.
Say what you will about capitalism, it most
definitely is not a perfect system, but at least it ‘motivates’ people to work
hard. The greatest threat to our way of
life is simply complacence. Of letting the government, or some other entity,
take over because it is easier for us to permit other people making decisions
on our ‘behalf’.
Do we really want that? Do we really want others (i.e.
the government) to decide when or if we can see a doctor? Or get denied for chemotherapy and have a
medical panel offer assisted suicide because of a late stage diagnosis of
cancer? (Real case in Oregon, by the way. He fought, won, and then died after a
couple of treatments.) Do we really want
to accept financial handouts from the big ‘G’?
If the answer to all those questions is “No.”,
then congratulations. You are a normal
person possessing intelligence. If yes, well, you’re brainwashed and good luck
to you.
