And if you're all of a sudden diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor that requires years of treatments, hospitalization, and perhaps even some temporary full-time care and rehab lasting multiple months, all the while you've also got a mortgage, and kids in school, and up until that diagnosis you were a very hard working and ethically upstanding individual who also happened to be unfortunate enough to have been "down-sized" from their job and was currently lacking any health insurance because keeping the roof over the family's head was more important?
Thats an extreme case. It is not a common occurance by any means. Its a case for charity, the reason for charity. As for me I have taken the steps nessary to insure that I am NOT in that position. As should have everyone else, but most of whom have not. It is not MY problem that MOST people fail to plan properly.
The government is NOT a charitable organization. It is an EXCUSE made by those who want more government to take from others. More government programs does not mean less poor. Quite the opposite in many cases. I find highly ironic that christens and the like in the name of charity STEAL from others. Your religous duties are not MY religous duties. I take responsbility for myself and my family. I expect you and others to take responsibilty for yourselves and your families.
