RE: Opinion: Community should bear its share

What a sad state of affairs we would find in our community if all parties were to adopt this ideology! If that were followed universally, such things as schools, recreation and economic incentives would be seriously compromised.

I long for the day when such a state of "compromised" government "services" is reached. I spend a considerable amount of mental effort trying to come up with a way to accelerate progress toward that end.

Is the health of its most vulnerable citizens - and by extension all of its citizens - any less important?

Sell it somewhere else, weasel-boy. You can't demonstrate that the lack of any government program represents a health risk to anyone. You can't even demonstrate that government programs aren't actually harmful to the health of the most "vulnerable citizens." Furthermore, your faux altruism gives me gas. While Baptist Hospital has many fine physicians and staff, the management spends way too much time figuring out how to relieve people of their earnings. To that end, they have figured out the government is one of the softest patsies around. It's simple, create some phony "need" or "crisis," add a dash of hyped statistics, and eureka, instant government funding.

What I want to know, Len, is how many of my tax dollars have gone to make your next boat payment?
