Quote from AlpineTrout:
As a member of the Church of the Painful Truth, and a Libertarian, I believe the following to be true:
1) Noone has a right to Healthcare. If you can't afford health insurance then you'd better drop the cig's, start exercising and eat more veggie & fruits. Or, work that extra night shift at Wendy's to make the payment.
2) Anything the government does, the Private Sector does better. Can you name one thing the government does well, except maybe blow things up. Look at our tax code....what a pathetic mess. The FairTax is the best idea in decades and they won't even consider it. Unbelievable
3) Less government is better. For some of you guys the Daytrader Pattern Rule is an example. For me, to get some new contacts yesterday at CostCo I first had to pay $70 to the Doctor for a government mandated eye appointment. I've been wearing contacts for 30 yrs.. I didn't need the government's protection, neither do daytraders.
4) Liberals are always happy about higher taxes, so that more can be given to the Have-Nots. 98% of Have-Nots choose to be Have-Nots. As far as the other 2%, I say lets help those people. By the way, it's interesting to know that Conservatives ACTUALLY give more to charities than Liberals.
5) Under Hillary's HealthCare Plan it quite possibly would be illegal to go to a doctor of your own choice. You think you won't pay.......you'll pay big time in other ways......you wait and see....it's coming.
