"Just out of curiosity, are the taxpayers also paying for your health care?"

I get it, now. That's our way out of the welfare crisis in America. Let 'em all die, right?

This is why the Left gets away with calling everyone on the Right insensitive, uncompassionate, uncaring, and so forth. It's also why so many GOP politicians have to play the Left's game ...

... because there's people out in fly-over country implying that the unhealthy poor should go ahead and die.

Alright, answer me this question. I once made over $100,000 per year. After disability hit, and after all assets were sold and all of our resources were exhausted, just exactly how is one to pay for an $800 per month prescription drug cost?

Precisely as you have done all over this thread. Who the hell do you think you are fooling? You are a lefty.

Oh boo hoo hoo. Oh the inhumanity of it all!!!

The correct answer for the left is to steal it from other citizens.

I'm not sure just how you came up with that interpretation of my response. My question about health care had to do with your assertion that nobody had the right to tell you what to eat. If the taxpayers are paying your grocery bills and your health care bills, I would say we have every right to be concerned about the quality of your nutrition.

Stephen, it might be too late to help you, but hopefully I can help a few others who are reading this thread. Several years ago, my husband became permanently disabled from a very lucrative career, so I do know a bit about this subject. Here's a little tip for all of you:

Private Disability Insurance........buy it today!

Since my husband's disability, I have been shocked by the number of people who seem to assume that disability automatically means "public assistance." It doesn't. Private disability insurance should be included in every responsible wage earner's budget......and I thank God it was included in my husband's. Trust me, it can make all the difference in the world if you are ever faced with the misfortune of becoming disabled.

The food stamp program should be ended --- there are food banks that people contribute food for the poor ---- the practical conservatives would contribute basic foods like beans, rice, flour. The generous liberals I'm sure will contribute candies, cookies, cavier.

All contributions should be private ---- true charity which is the realm of the Church. Get the government out of the Church's job.
