As I at least hinted in reply # 22 my solution is for friends and family to do the right thing and take care of their own and those who desire and have extra funds to voluntarily help strangers, no coercion.
You don't have to hint. I understand your point of view, but I keep saying that this is about euthanasia not taxation. There is a real push for this, and I don't want Americans to have to be scared to go to the hospital when they get old for fear that they will be involuntarily murdered because someone finds no worth in them. You may scoff at me, but it is happening that way in the Netherlands, and it will happen here to if the pro-death culture is allowed to continue with the erroneous chants of "death with dignity."
I don't like socialism any more than you do, but life issues come first. When the value and intrinsic dignity of humanity is lost, then so is society.
