How many of those lining up for these shoes do not have health insurance and demand that taxpayers buy it for them?

YES--in the healthcare facility where I work, the Medicaid recipients wear better clothes and shoes than I can afford. Isn't that interesting?

Wow so next time I see people lining up for concert tickets, hockey tickets, and world series pix I should ask myself the same question. BUT I suppose in this case it's okay.

Absolutely. The free-lunch kids get dropped off at school in new Cadillacs. I stand behind people in grocery store checkouts with my hamburger meat, watching them pay for hundreds of dollars worth of overpriced junk food, pre-cooked food, etc., with food stamps. And our taxes are constantly jacked so the whole mess can be expanded to a grander scale.

Meanwhile, someone who was simply born with the ability to bounce a ball and toss it through a ring, gets paid $90,000,000 to say he LIKES a shoe.

Our society is a mess.
