If our employers paid us every dime we earned, we could pay our necessities first (food, housing, health care, the means to make a living) and taxes second, limiting how much the government could spend. By abdicating so much of our individual liberty to our government, and in some cases our employers, we have abandoned much of our personal responsibility and have allowed ourselves to become dependent and corrupted in such a way that we now seek to justify yet more taking for the "common good" in terms of morality. Compassion and charity do not begin at the end of a gun, fine or jail sentence.LAGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5877221018800830362.post-52581140474654000702009-10-26T11:14:02.342-04:002009-10-26T11:14:02.342-04:00The healthcare debate is a struggle amongst politi...The healthcare debate is a struggle amongst politicians who aren't listening to "We the People." We who don't want them messing with the best health care system in the world. Their motives are suspect. If you don't believe me, ask Hippocrates. Oh, I forgot, there are people who disagree with him and Moses and anybody else who gets in their selfish, corrupt and egotistical ways. We call these people "Politicians." Thank God there is a November! It will be the new spring cleaning month. Ok people can I hear a big AMEN on those last two sentences? :-)Peter913https://www.blogger.com/profile/01805602464724466047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5877221018800830362.post-67918926014408520722009-10-26T11:01:15.492-04:002009-10-26T11:01:15.492-04:00Outstanding.Outstanding.Bob Maistroshttp://www.northstarnational.comnoreply@blogger.com
