| What should be done when someone isn't personally responsible. Unless the answer to that is to let them suffer the consequences themselves, that system doesn't work. If, however, you are actually saying that we should let people who failed to save enough for retirement die on the streets, and anyone who failed to get health insurance should be turned away from the emergency room because it is their own fault for not planning ahead, then you actually have a workable system. However, we don't turn people away at the ER, and I don't believe you are suggesting we should let people die in the streets, because that is the kind of thing only a total sociopath would say, so you haven't presented any sort of a workable system that doesn't dump the responsibility for the failure of the individual back on the tax paying portion of society, which is the broken system we had long before Obama took office. So what is the better system? If it involves the mentioned problems being solved by the charitable works of private organizations (churches, etc) I have bad news for you regarding the scope of the issues. |
