will i think you paint too broad a brush. there are people who abuse the safety net. to state that its "most people" who are "lazy" & "do drugs" & "have kids they cant afford" is absurd, & sounds more like the emotional sentiment Demon's always bitching about from the left. Back up these sentiments with some numbers to show "most" people in the safety net are freeloaders.
Although i am generally sympathetic to the principle that the successfull should not be robbed by the tax man to subsidize freeloaders, i'm not persuaded that "most" recipients are undeserving. People work hard at self employment, but their idea doesnt make it. People work their whole adult lives at a company & are laid off. Great workers lose their jobs to a decision made on wall street to relocate a plant to china.
COBRA has alleviated the loss of health care when good people lose their jobs. But costs have exploded so high that reasonable people can't afford the prices insurance companies charge in the individual markets. & if your sick, you won't even get insurance. your just expected to shell out 10s of thousands out of pocket to stay alive. Not to mention you may pay all your insurance bills, & the insurance company will make a loophole to deny you a claim.
our darwinian capitalist system works fine when you have a job & when you are healthy. For the sick & unemployed, it is nothing but a death panel.
