Two Wrongs, Don't Make Right!

The fact that most Americans don't have health care is a issue that needs to be dealt with most definitely, and should have had attention from the last administration focused toward the problem. But running head long into a national debt and crippling our economy won't help us either. We as a nation should consider all the effects that this will have on our country. I am not ready yet for America to be a socialist country. I enjoy having a choice, that is why I live here. This is America and we should make choices that are realistic. Just because I am an American, does not mean I automatically have a right to be taken care of, but as our forefathers spoke, being American gives me the opportunity to pursue happiness. If part of that happiness is creating a health care for those that are in need that is great. If that means taking from you what you have struggled, and worked hard for, your whole life, against your wish, I am now stealing your happiness to make myself happy. Sorry! That doesn't make it right! If we get this wrong we miss the foundation of what makes America, "The land of the free"..., and not communist China. That is not a slam of Chinese, it's just the fact there is a difference! Freedom is that difference! I want to see the government be responsible, and use the same wisdom, with the money we pay for taxes, as I have to in my own personal finances. Then this country will be again, what it should be. In a fore mentioned article, it stated the phrase, "Lying, Right Wingers" ! Whoa.. just a minute...be careful not to point a finger, there are five pointing back. There are just as many "Lying, Left Wingers" out there! The middle belongs to people who are not thinking with their emotions, or their self-fulfilling ideas of what I should get from government, but what do I have to give! If I am forced to give, I am no longer making a choice! It is being taken from me. I think Kennedy had it right,"Not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country? He wasn't forcing anyone, he was compelling everyone to think with their heart! We should be doing the same!
