Yes, I’m sorry to say that many - even here at FreeRepublic - tend to think in terms of their own situation rather than the Constitution or what actually effects all. I’m not sure how that happens or how to reach those folks, but am trying on a daily basis to get all to understand the underlying problems with our leadership. I really am at a standstill though since it seems that way too many here believe that our beloved government will (and should) solve our problems.
You who believe that deserve the assholes you elected...
Yup.
Somebody here on another thread was all for President Mau-Mau’s fat taxes and for coercing people to excercise and lose weight.
His argument was that he was “tired of paying more for his insurance because of the added cost of treating overweight people”.
I have my own catastrophic health policy with a $3,000 deductible. I aready pay extra on my premium because I smoke and my BMI is just above their target range.
I go to the doctor once a year and pay out of pocket.
I don’t particularly like paying higher premiums because of hypochondriacs that run off to be felt up by their doctor every time they sneeze.
We all have our personal gripes.
But I don’t want somebody else taxed more so I can get a free ride.
