If I'm a selfish as*hole for wanting to keep what I earn, why aren't you a selfish as*hole for wanting to take it?

You can always services in place like Medicare and Medical instead of paying for another program that increasing the national debt In addition, Obamacare is killing jobs. I know employers who are hiring less and cutting hours because of Obamacare. They should fix Medicare and Medicaid into solvency before thinking of another program

People should use services like Medicare and Medicaid which provide the same exact services of Obamacare. But people want more free things others people's expense. Some people think the government is like Santa Claus.

I'm surprised to read that here.a place where people converge - who have issues that can outright prevent working for any decent wage let alone also affording private healthcare.. People who can eat the purest organic, quality food (which by the way, is far more pricey than crap food, so kind of hard when you can't afford that either) and it wouldn't change their wage-earning abilities or lack thereof one iota.

Sadly comments like this one from frenchmanflats are quite common here. You think aspies should know better, but no. :(

if my army time taught me anything, it is that there were mean aspie-types I had to work under and watch my back around. back in the day I thought they were excessively picayune/legalistic/rules-bound and/or could not comprehend that other people would think differently than they did, but in retrospect I see the aspie traits that I saw in them, the same ones I suppress in myself as well.

My parents used to say money does not grow on trees.Is there a money tree growing in Washington DC that is sprouting hundred dollar bills that will pay for all for all these free things? Things are not for free. They must be paid for somehow by someone.
