I recall the underappreciated cook in the movie The Help, found a way to make her points.

Gave a new meaning to the phrase "don't **** where you eat."

People love to post here as macho, cold-hearted ideologues, but truth is, if it was your brother and those kids were your nephews and nieces, you would probably be a bit more kind hearted about it. No one should be destroyed by health concerns in a country as wealthy as ours. It is a disgrace, and quite unChristian. I can never figure out how being selfish and cold is admirable to social conservatives, who claim to be Christian and morally superior to libs.

I guess the hymn needs an edit:

"They will know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love.....if they are not dumb asses."

Your answers are irrelevant to me really.

Why do you assume I am a leftie, you really should not do that.

The tea party? No thanks....they are bunch of liars and theives just like the others two parties, that have the delusion of being "similar" to the original tea party. The current party is a group of clowns.

NOBODY should ever get help from the government!

Thats what you lefties don't understand.

Help those that YOU want to. I'll help those who I want to help. Stand on your own, without the government propping you up.....that goes for individuals as well as businesses.

The answer from the left is always more government.

Stand with me and the Tea Party.....smaller government!

How do you know what this individual knows? You do not, what you do know is what he is currently employed doing. What an awful thing to say about someone! Shame.

It is a shame when one has to bring others down to lift themselves up.

Sorry there lady, but Im a realist. I do not beleive in pampering those who chose to do nothing with their lives. When a middle age man works for teenager wages he is his own failure . The results of those poor decisions are his problems , not mine.

If I ever ran into a waiter that consider 'his" table to be a franchise that I had to pay him for, he and I would have a detailed discussion in the back by the trash bins. He might, if I was feeling kind, survive the discussion. Gangsters like that have to be stopped fast.

Look at the income cutoff for the top percentile in Table 7, here:
The Tax Foundation - Summary of Latest Federal Individual Income Tax Data

The top percentile has seen a much larger percentage drop in their income than has any other group. Their wages have fallen the most.

Please don't swallow deceitful manipulative left-wing propaganda hook, line, and sinker without checking it for accuracy and validity. Don't be used as a mindless pawn.

If you were a realist, then you would realize that there are many who are underemployed and to be ugly and hateful to those who are trying is absolutely disgusting and despicable. No one is asking to be pampered. Further, this family is NO failure. In fact, they are rich in ways you may never understand.

To some people money is the only thing that counts or can be counted.
