I felt that, really, in a country such as the US, her employers
should
pay for the insurance, but apparently they couldn't afford it or
wouldn't.
Saying that an "employer" should pay for something or other, and that
this
thing being paid for should then be viewed as entitled manna from
heaven;
is
so short-sighted as to be laughable--and it would be if those seeking
it
weren't so ignorant.

There's no end to stupid and illogical dim-bulbs that constantly bray
that
some cost, law, tax, or fee should be imposed upon those evil, rich
corporations. Not a single one of those dipsticks has yet figured out
that
corporations don't care! By their very nature *ALL* such increased
costs
are ALWAYS passed on to the consumer of that corporation's product or
service. That's how business works. A small but vital fact that you
socialists haven't yet grasped; and why corporations are always
laughing
at
you simple but only slightly useful idiots.

Personally, I am willing to pay higher prices if I know the producer was
bound by a higher code of ethics. Just as I am happy to pax taxes if I
know
it is being used to improve society: public schools and hospitals and
people
who need looking after getting what they need.


You're just the kind of person all the politicians like. Happy to
send them more money so they can try to fix all the worlds problems
with more spending.

Me, I say send them not a nickel more and let them learn how to live
with what they already get, like the rest of us. I don't know about
you, but I can't go to an employer and say, gee, you know, it would be
really worth it to put a new roof on my house, so give me a raise.
I agree so some extent. Just depends how willing you are to put up with
impoverished areas where crime is the main commercial activity. People will
always fall through the cracks and that helps no one.. At least if people
have enough to survive on, it keeps money circulating through the economy
and keeps local business going even during recessions.. You won't be
surprised to learn that I don't believe in the trickledown theory..
