Man, you guys surely go off the deep end... Here it is in a nutshell. Enough of our politicians at every level are corrupt. Big business, including drug companies, insurance companies, Wall Street, some doctors, HMO organizations. etc. are rife with corruption. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and those of us in the middle are being being fleeced and regulated to the point where there will be no middle. Social Security and Medicare are being bled to death by fraud and government shenanigans. Healthcare is too. It's out of control. Do I have the answer? No. Neither does Nationalized Health Care. It is socialism, pure and simple. Religion doesn't enter into it. Are there other socialist programs? Yes. They are wrong too.
You tend to lose your charitable instincts when you are being taxed and regulated into oblivion while the government spends your tax dollars on pork programs and vote-getting agendas that appeal to the lowest economic strata just for the sake of maintaining their power and careers. And the lowest economic strata keeps on pumping out dependants while seeking entitlements from the government.
Am I cold and cruel? Heartless? Maybe. But I believe in personal responsibility. There is no free ride. If you wish to create one, I don't want to fund it.....
