Now, now, Martin, you smug fat-cat S.O.B.!!!

A property-owning construction superintendant can hardly be accused of "not handling his life properly." Large numbers of highly productive American workers lack adequate health coverage, including not only the self-employed but also smaller employers who have created plenty of jobs and high-level employees of small businesses who are fairly well-compensated in terms of salary if not benefits,.

GWB is of course not solely and personally to blame for the current health-care fiasco, which has been developing willy-nilly over time since before any of us were born.

However, the wing-nut fringe of the Republican party ~ that is to say, the currently ascendant theocratic neoconservative idealogues who adopted Georgie boy as their puppet, paid the way for his nomination, and pulled strings to assure his election(s) ~ THEY'RE very much to blame, for their desperate campaign of lies and innuendo against the Clinton administration's early efforts to start exploring ways to reform health care.
