Must I remind people that poor people don't pay
taxes, therefore no TAX REFUNDS; the increase in entitlemenents
for the poor and disabled may not be as much
as we want it to be be but the groups of entitlements including illegal aliens,
alcoholics, drug addiction...etc is steadily increasing and the middle and upper
middle class are busting their balls to maintain their lifestyles for the
time, schooling and energy they have put in. As long as Congressman
don't pay into soc sec and loophles are left for the very rich(laws made by
congress) entitlements(ssdi, medicare,medicaid, etc) will never get their fair
share. ACLU is trying to add obesity plus their children on ssdi.
Kids of alcoholics and addicts already recieve assistance with checks issused in
care of the parent w/problem.
A congressman makes more in his first year of retirement tnan 90%
of retirees their life time. Who supplies them with these golden
parachutes, we tax payers,but you never hear it come campaign time. Why in
the world do we expect them to correct the problem when it doesn't affect their
families or cronies??

tongue hurts from biting it so I'll stop torturing myself and just say
it. The issue of illegal "aliens" is a separate issue, certainly these
individuals use precious resources that we citizens need. However, the
medicaid cuts are a direct result of the tax cuts your president wishes
to make permanent, tax cuts that do nothing to help the middle class and
the poor. Republican and Democrat governors alike are decrying the
injustice of cutting money for the neediest of citizens.
I have
to say "I told you so" on this one. I'm glad I don't get
Medicaid.
Concerning the "illegal alien" issue, I grew up valuing
the principles of taking care of those who are less fortunate than
myself. If there are people in this country, legal or not, and they are
in need of medical care and food, it's my responsibility to see that we
care! for them. AND we all know that the profiteers WANT illegal
workers, as they require pennies on the dollar in wages, no taxes, no
FICA, and no workers comp. So, they too are victims in this situation.
The borders, immigration, and police authorities look the other way when
confronted with these workers and their families. One reason for the
tragedy of 9/11 is the lax attitude and inept immigration
system.
