Bush vetoes expansion of kids' health insurance program

[Ban Hammer 13,644]

According to Charles we all shoulda joined the military to get free health care.

you should give it a go. but i know, if it's not free you're not interested.

No social health care plan is free. Unless maybe your are retired, or poor. Or been in the military for long enough.

free while active duty, it's not free either once you retire

Not much choice there. My property taxes are compulsory so I sent them to public schools. So what is your point?

The difference between those that made it and those that didn't is personal will and self reliance. If you don't like that, tough

From your story, I can see why you believe this. However, in reality, this simply isn't true. It's also somewhat sad to me, that you use Christianity to buffer this belief when one of the core messages of Christianity is extending aid and succour to the weak and needy.

Private school is a choice...but then you would have to pay someone $$ for a service, god forbid.

That the childless are also paying property taxes and effectively subsidizing your choices.

I know. But I will let him rant. It will not change the way I think and it will make him feel better to think he has a point.

Not to mention I can't say I've ever heard Gary mention God before.....Certainly not nearly as much as the preaching in THIS thread....

I know, and I disagree with they way it's done. The childless shouldn't have to pay for educating other peoples children.

I'm hardly going to rant - I just think there's a little hypocrisy going on there.

Just because I don't wear my faith pinned to my shirt doesn't mean I don't have a very deep conviction of my faith.
