Thread Name: Government---the bigger the better !!!!
Subject: RE: Government---the bigger the better !!!!
Hang in there Carlin. You are not alone. There are plenty of people who believe that they should get to keep what they make and most of them are in the "working class", something that I doubt most of the posters on this thread would recognize if it walked up and spit in their latte.
Sharing is fine and I'll share some of what I have but ONLY after I've taken care of MY family. Sharing toys is NOT the same as being forced to give over part of that which you've sweated for to support someone who doesn't work and doesn't want to. And if you don't think they are out there, your mommy needs to put you to bed. You shouldn't be up so late.
Socialism is a nice theory and it's fun to discuss it but don't get carried away. For those people who don't have medical insurance or who can't afford it (NOT always one and the same) there is medicaid, indigent care at emergency rooms and the like. So Bart and Stackley and Frank and the rest of you, when you have to make that paycheck stretch to cover the house payment and the groceries and you buy your clothes at goodwill and drive a fifteen-year-old car and have to hit your retirement savings to have a new roof put on, you come and talk to me about how I owe the bums and the welfare cheats and the ne'er-do-wells.
Until then I'd strongly suggest that you temper your words.
