When Our Neighbors Wish Us Dead or Broke, We're in Trouble with More Than Our Health Care System

103. Don't let people like this haunt you.

They don't think through their own arguments. Someone who "doesn't work as hard" as he does? Well, what about someone who works HARDER? Does that person deserve more than he has? Who is to judge the quantity and quality of that work? What about the people who work the hardest (by the way, is that physical or mental work? Or a combination? Or what?) and yet are underpaid? In other words, what the hell is he talking about? Is he the "gold standard" of freakin' work? When my father retired, they hired three men to replace him.

What about the disabled? Would this imbecile throw his mother into the Soylent Green machine, if she couldn't afford care?

Does this moron know how insurance works? That the larger the pool of insureds, the smaller the premiums, and the better the benefits?

If this a-hole works for the Federal prison system, he is funded - and his insurance - by your tax dollars and mine. Whatta jerk.

To keep our family afloat, my husband and I both worked multiple jobs and businesses, sick and well, and did without things or financed them (and paid back everything, with interest - no bankruptcy).

If that "wunderkind" ever stops by your booth again, don't bother to argue, don't use logic, don't engage in debate, because nothing works on a closed mind coupled with an entitled attitude. Request that he lean closer, then exhibit a single extended digit, in an upward motion.

Now, honey, go have a cold beverage of your choice - you have earned it. And I will be the judge on that one.
