altho it would be a grand scheme if everyone could get along with everyone, help everyone, etc--the reality is that it wouldn't work, as a goodly portion of the humans on this world would be perfectly content to continue to sit on their ass while sharing equally the fruits of others labors. it happens now, it would continue to happen. there are those who struggle mightily, i know my husband and i did for years....some never get out of poverty, some do. the answer isn't to take from those that have and give to those that don't. the answer would be to help those that don't have to achieve--education, opoortunities, job training etc. of course you'll still have those too lazy to try--i have a hard time feeling any sympathy at all for them--and we all can name some like that. a brother in law perhaps, a sister who milks granny while crying about her destitution while she sits home all day doing nothing.
as for health care, it's always astonishing to me when i give a new hire their paperwork to get healthcare, and they don't bother. don't get sick, so why would i want healthcare? they say...and jr is on arkids, so why should i pay for coverage? then there's, her stepdad wants to adopt her, but then we'd have to pay for her coverage, as right now the state covers her since i don't have to claim his income. yeah, cause it's my responsibility to pay for mine, my husband, my kids coverage--and her kids as well. sure, i see the reasoning.
oh, then there's the guy who worked with my husband on 'disability'--he can't work with this bad back...but he sure can hunt, fish, etc....
