Spoken like a "true Republican have."
"I've got mine, screw the poor, eh?"
I'll give you a personal example of what I am talking about Harry.
I have a nephew who simply can't hold a job. It's not that he's not
capable of doing so.
He just can't tolerate working for anybody. He one of those people who,
after two weeks on a job, thinks he's smarter than anyone else in the
company. He has made his way through life doing all kinds of
"self-employed" type work .... flipping cars, building decks on houses, etc.
He's not lazy ... he just can't work for anyone but himself.
After he got married and had a couple of kids, he started to realize that he
should have some form of health insurance to cover his growing family. He
tried again getting a "real" job with benefits, but as before, it didn't
last. I got involved in a discussion with him and made the point that he
may have to change his arrogant attitude in the best interests of his
family. Sometimes you have to do things in life that you don't want to do
because you have responsibilites to others in addition to your own, was my
pitch.
Well, he tried again and again gave up and went back to his screwball way of
making a living.
No health insurance. Can't afford it.
Recently his young daughter developed a potentially serious medical problem.
She ended up at the Children's Hospital in Boston and received excellent
care. She now has surgery scheduled to correct the medical condition.
He laughs at me and my lectures now. All the costs are covered by someone
else.
