Do you know what integrity and principles are, some of us have them.

It was late October 1980. My boss at the USDA said that if you wanted to
keep your job you know who to vote for for president. I pulled the lever
for Ronald Wilson Reagan. I voted for the guy who said that he was going
to reduce the federal workforce.

I take responsibility for the choices and decisions I make in my life. I
don't complain about the curves that life has thrown at me, I look them
in the eye and deal with them and get on with my life.

To answer your question, I will never be "less fortunate" because I will
pick myself up and move on with my life.

Universal Health Care only works by take from those that have and giving
it to those who don't have. It is a form of communism.

He lied. But they all do.

So you believe your fuckya philosophy is A-OK because you think it will
never apply to you. How very noble. It must really burn you up that so
many poor people (e.g. "thieves") get free healthcare. Forget Obama.
Here's the Bert Robbins healthcare plan. Install bouncers at every
hospital and run the credit of everyone who walks in the door, no
exceptions. It's not like they have any choice, so make the sick pay in
advance. Anyone who turns out to be sicker than they have money to pay
for shall be dragged out back and shot.

Your argument is a form of stupidity. Do you even know what communism
is?
