Yet another freeper demanding that others “need” to do something. My sarcastic answer to this demand is that maybe you should ask the democrat taliban party politicians to pass a law forcing others to give money to the GoFundMe accounts for hospitalized people under threat of government punishment if we do not. By the way, that law was already passed. It is obamacare and we are already taxed to pay for it under threat from the government if we do not.

My more reasoned answer is as follows. Freedom includes the freedom to choose. This person chose and got sick. Freedom to chose does not mean you do not have to deal with the consequences of those choices. In fact, it means quite the opposite. Freedom means you must deal with the consequences and without interference by an all powerful government. Does he have health insurance? How about life insurance? What did he do to protect himself and his family from disasters that befall people every day? I have lots of both because I take responsibility for my life and those of my family.

So, now to the make it rain demand. Why do I have to help this person? Does that mean I have to help everyone now? People choose to drive cars and get hurt in accidents. Others cross the street and get hit by a bus. Others fall down a set of stairs as they are going to work and a million other things can befall us each and everyday. What makes this one man different? Your demand to make it rain is the same slippery slope government has used for over 100 years to start taxing income and slowly increase taxation over time, forcing us to pay for all sorts of other people’s problems. That is called socialism which is just a stepping stone to totalitarian communism.

My two cents.

Excellent argument, Joma.

It will fall on deaf ears. These so-called 'right wing' social justice warriors are beyond hope.

if the pregnant wife is putting up a gofund me, there’s likely no life insurance or Plan B. At least there won’t be a hospital bill. She mentioned he wasn’t working being in the hospital (of course right) so maybe they’re paycheck to paycheck? Of course I’m “reading” her from a picture or two and a few paragraphs but she doesn’t seem a scammer.
