Excuse me Stonewall, one I am not loking for a handout I am a Taxpaying citizen just like you and # 2 I AM NOT STUPID OR INGNORENT, just my spelling is bad. I know more how your tax dollars are spent than you do as I work for the State, giving out food stamps and med cards to all the people who are suffering right now. As for health care look at some of the other countrys in the world that have gov provided health care, they seem to be doing ok, also this is supposed to an open minded disscusion, but you have to result in name calling and running me down come on, be adult you do not have to disrespect a person to make your point but thats the mind set of some out there, This country will never get back on track if we cannot work together to fix our problems. See this is just like in Washington the Dems and Repubs are also fighting instead of working to fix a problem. But one thing that I have really noticed is how some of you repub's always have to disrespect someone to make a point instead of having a good debate.
