Our earnings are within your range.

I do shop at WalMart, and Target, and Costco, and Sams, because I choose to, rationally, based on what I perceive to be in my best interest.

I've been poor, too. When I was a kid we lived in a housing project. But the government didn't force everybody to live in housing projects just because we did.

I am willing to consider solutions for the 50 millions who "can't" afford health care, but as I understand it there's 40+ million who just "won't" afford it.

One solution might be a law that MAKES them get it, a draconian measure, but far preferable to laws that level us just because having better coverage is "not fair."
