And I do not feel that it is my duty to pay for health insurance for everyone else when I can hardly afford my own. I believe that if you want to achieve something in life, then you have to motivate yourself and not expect someone else to do it for you or coddle you. Too many people in this country perceive rights that they have not earned.

RE: HEALTH INSURANCE
Obviously I can't thoroughly discuss this in this forum BUT.
Are we prepared -if there is a car accident and a young health person WHO DECIDED THEY DO NOT NEED TO PAY FOR EXPENSIVE INSURANCE AS THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN SICK-to not provide medical care? Are we prepared to look in his wallet and if we do not find proof of coverage to simply take the alive or dead to the dump?
YES, we who pay, pay more to cover the ones who don't
RE: EDUCATION
The price of a college degree has gone up far faster than the rate of inflation. THE REASON, ACCORDING TO ME, IS GOVERNMENT THROWING MONEY AT IT-A PRESCRIPTION FOR INFLATION.
I personally went my first two years to a community college at night while working 40 hours a week and shooting weddings most weekends. I then transferred to a four year college where I graduated. My education cost me my considerable savings plus I had 13,000 in college loans. Translation that 13,000 to todays dollars it is 78,000. I GOT MARRIED TWO YEARS AFTER I GRADUATED.
MY WIFE AND I LIVED CHEAP AND TOGETHER WE PAID BACK MY DEBT.
I'VE EARNED EVERYTHING I HAVE-I NEVER WOULD HAVE ASKED ANYONE ELSE TO PAY FOR ERRORS I HAVE MADE.
HOW DARE PEOPLE THINK THEY SHOULD TAKE FROM ME TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES.
