Someone who chooses not to protect themselves or prepare for something in advance is not a victim. They knew the risk they chose to take it and it back fired. Not a victim they are a volunteer. You choose the behavior you choose the consequences. Not taxpayers responsibilty to bail you out because you chose to do the wrong thing. That's life. You live with the desicions you make. Suffer through the consequences and you will be apt to make better choices in the future. You want to dance you have to pay the fiddler. If you don't get car insurance and your car is stolen, you think taxpapers should buy you a new car? Not my responsibility its yours. That's not fair to the people who do the right thing. That's rewarding bad behavoir enabling it. Why would anyone pay for insurance and prepare for a disaster if they can be bailed out when they don't. If are saying I should pay to rescue you from your lame choices, then I should get to have a say in what choices you make. I'm not going to forkover my hard earned money so it can be pissed away on your next bad choice. If I have to pay the band I get to pick the music. That is how I feel about. . We will just have to agree to disagree. I respect your view, I understand it, but I don't agree.

Wow! I hope you never become sick, seriously sick. I'm afraid you are going to have an eye opener. Karma is a crazy thing.
Moving along thru this crazy post of yours. What tax are we paying that reimburses an under or uninsured auto owner for vehical theft? I live in the same state you are from, one of the MOST HEAVILY TAXED STATES in America, and I am not aware of this tax? Are you referring to uninsured motorist protection coverage? Isn't that for collision on your OWN
vehical?
Have you seen the unemployment lines for people waiting to apply for 100 available positions? Maybe you live underneath a rock (I sometimes think I do) However, I am very aware of what this Occupy Wall Street movement is all about. You sound like a Tea Party person.
WoW. Just Wow.
