In a country where we have the capability to raise the standard of living for EVERYONE, to improve the quality of life and life span of EVERYONE, what sort of vicious greed would make someone say "no" to to that?
With your minimum wage job, and young enough to still be covered under your parents plan, how are you going to do your part to raise the standard of living for someone who earns 10 times your salary and pays for their own plan?

You would be wise to raise your own standard of living before preaching to the rest of us about how we should raise the standard of living for others.

To those of us who have worked hard for years and have finally achieved a comfortable standard of living, we resent the vicious greed of those who would try and take from us that which we have earned.
