Excellent rant sixate, although I find it somewhat puzzling that you end it by saying that you think we should all be responsible for funding each others' health care costs.
I know what it's like to be poor and work your ass off. Been there done that. But I never asked for a dime from anybody. I was eligible for all kinds of assistance, in fact I got notices in the mail from the government offering to use other peoples' money to pay my heating bill. Fuck that, it's not anyone else's responsibility but mine. I'd rather pay it on my own and be out of money every month than be a welfare leech.
I have no respect for people who leech off society. I'd much rather buy a new TV or something than feed someone who won't even assume the responsibility to take care of themselves.
I'd love it if you could opt out of social welfare programs. You agree that you can never go on welfare; you don't pay the tax. It'd work kind of like insurance.
