It seems so simple.
Imagine this: On your left, you can help someone. On your right, hurt. What is the moral thing to do? What if you aren’t the one doing this, but it’s some other entity you’re providing the resources to. Like the government. What is an appropriate proportion of public funding to be allocated between ensuring the health of ourselves (healthcare), and “defending,” or harming others?
Where is your sense of community? Where has your sense for social responsibility gone, America?
I am “fortunate” enough to have healthcare. Most of my friends aren’t… many of my family neighbors… neighbors. I would much rather my hard earned tax dollars go toward ensuring your health and well being — even if you smoke, overeat, etc. — than go toward complete absurdity like the war on drugs, or the department of homeland security.
I am but a single star among a wonderous sky.
I am a citizen of the United States of America, and I support a public option.
