(4,106 posts)and am glad you have some government help, but this is going on to millions of people in this country..especially since the crash of the economy. Many don't pay income tax because they make so little they can barely pay their bills and put food on the table. The RW always bitches about this but insist on keeping wages for the working class flat. Were you in favor of the ACA before your heart attack?
Medical hardships are one of the biggest reasons for home foreclosures yet the GOP wants it dead.
You see we "liberals" fight for everyone. We believe the American Dream is a right not a choice. So many don't have a choice.
You're right. You didn't do it to your self. You did everything you were told yet a big crack opened up anyway. THAT is the point.
Shit happens. So if you won the lottery would you go back? You don't have to answer it's rhetorical. I just hope that now you have some sense of what so many have been going through their whole lives. Struggling, working and still can't get ahead. Then they get sick and have no insurance.
But their is plenty of money for oil subsidies, defense contracts, bank bailouts..etc. You get my point.
Appreciate your honesty. I certainly hope you have signed up for Obamacare.
