Re: Just Saw Sicko, Now Have Question
seriously. youll never hear me advocate that everyone needs t o live in at least a 4 bedroom house or driev a certain model car. it is not the job of govt to make everyone's standard of living equal. IT IS govt's job imo to make sure everyone has a minimum standard of living, ie adequate health care and at least some opportunity to better themselves through education to kind of level the playing field, because some people start off way ahead of others in the game of life. i do not begrudge rich people their wealth/income at all.
it's no coincidence that most well-off people tend to vote more republican. they have got theirs so what do they care about the poor? until they get laid off and develop leukemia and need a transplant but can't afford it, then they lose their house and car and need to go to a homeless shelter, but oh wait, there aren't any because the republicans cut the funding. don't think that hasn't happened to people.
