I received an unsolicited e-mail this week from a neighbor of the Frost family, the family held up by Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and the entitlement expansionist Democrats. He wrote:
They’re good people. Terribly misguided, pathetically leftist buffoons, but still good people. It was a terrible accident and Bonnie is quite beat up with guilt over the events. Lots of neighbors pitched in to cook meals and help out… Bonnie works half time doing freelance editorial work and Halsey, an incredibly disorganized lovable goofball, just can’t seem to hold down a proper job or, when he’s tried, to run a proper company. He’s a millwork carpenter and does great work installing custom interior and exterior trimwork and cabinetry. He should be making great money but can’t get out of his way…
…Still, we make choices, right? They have three vehicles - a nice new volvo SUV, a Suburban, and his F250 Ford Pickup work truck, a nice house, and all four kids go to private school. Not sure where the money comes from, but they don’t make all that much. Should they be the poster child for S-CHIP? Heck no….

NOBODY!
And THEY think THEY should be on the SCHIP program???....Hey, Frosts....sell one of your vehicles, invest the money, and use it to pay your medical insurance (and use the car insurance $$ you save, too)...
Who is entitled, due to their need, the fruits of someone else’s ability?
Only those within your own family, and anyone else you VOLUNTARILY decide to support.
A man is required to support his own family. He is also urged (NOT FORCED) to voluntarily contribute to charity.
They already qualified for the SCHIP program.
They should be the poster children for Pres. Bush’s veto. If they qualified, why is there any need to expand the program?
What we need is more private sector business moved to the public sector where people aren't greedy empire-builders but have only selfless public good in mind. Public servants know best and act best. Ask Chavez, Castro, Putin, whoever is in charge in Myanmar.
If you’re forced to voluntarily contribute to charity, it’s not voluntary any more.
“Freelance,” as I suspected. Sounds like she read one of those “become a medical transcriptionist” work-at-home ads. I know someone who did just that, who also had a “loveable goofball” spouse. (Too proud to punch a clock or earn a paycheck.)
I’m compassionate, but the more I hear about these people the less I sympathize. A brand new Volvo, now.
They are definitely gaming the system, extracting the max in goodies and showing the minimum of income. Probably quite legal, but nearing the level of contemptible.
If they can milk the system like that, imagine what they could be sucking out of their parents.
“This Frost family seems to be better off net worth ways than the vast
majority of Americans.”
It appears that the Frosts are just “connected” enough to get plenty
of goodies from the government and their wealthy family members.
They aren’t royalty.
But they are doing pretty good by “Average American” standards.
Oh, it's not all that hard to understand. His REPORTED income is only $45,000.
In the trades, there is a little phenomenon known as "side jobs", jobs which pay in cash and leave no paper trail. This also helps lovable goofballs like Halsey keep their taxes low by underreporting income.
When you have lots of unreported , untaxed cash income, you can afford a few luxuries...
Wow. Just wow.
Who deserves government-subsidized health insurance?
only our worst enemies
EXACTLY....they should be the REASON the program is REDUCED!
Leftists don’t understand this concept.
Many of them just don’t see the difference between charity and forced wealth distribution.
I guess it’s because they view the government as all benevolent instead of how the founders saw it - nothing but force.
“Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” - George Washington
NOBODY! That’s right.
I volonteer this ...i suggest that no libtard better put it’s hand inside my wallet....
hows that?
I think that only a small portion of people that are truly disabled to should get health insurance.
People who are blind, deaf, brain damaged. True disabilities.
I think that it is our responsibility to help those that truly cannot help themselves.
If they are able to work, then a portion of the salary should go towards the health insurance.
