(3,557 posts)I'm happy that people are donating their time and resources to provide free healthcare to a very needy portion of our population. However, I'm sick that it has to come down to this for them.
We depend on the bottom tier of our society (including illegal immigrants) to perform all of the menial jobs that the rest of us don't want to have anything to do with. I'm sorry to offend any republicans out there who view these people as mooches, but we need to be able to provide these people with means to sufficiently support their family - especially the kids. It's not their fault they came out of the wrong vagina and weren't born into a rich family.
Being rich shouldn't be viewed as being a bad thing, but when you are rich you have to know that your wealth came out of the backs of the bottom and middle parts of our society. Yes, you do owe society for your affluence and you should pay more taxes as a result. Obviously you benefit the most from our society if you are rich. We (the rest of us who aren't rich) made you rich from our labor. The least you can do is help provide more than a subsistance wage and a sufficient means for us to be able to care for our families.
