29. This is a common response. MY response to that is that SOMEONE is going to work in that job.

To say "You should get a better job" is to say that job and business shouldn't exist, in the first place. Because if "Bob" gets a better job, SOMEONE ELSE will then have that job, and will have the SAME ISSUE.

Let's say Bob is a mechanic in a mid-size city. Those mechanic shops don't provide insurance because they can't afford to. So Bob finally gets a job at a retail place making less money but with insurance benefits. Good for Bob. But that mechanic shop NEEDS a mechanic and still can't afford to provide insurance, so someone else will take Bob's job. That someone else, then, will not have insurance or make enough money to buy it.

And so the cycle goes. Can you imagine what the economy would be if all small businesses shut down because they can't afford to provide health care?

What this politician REALLY believes is: I don't care about people w/o insurance; they must be deadbeats; my money is my money and I get to keep it all and don't owe anything to the country or society that allowed me to make my money; I don't even know anyone who works at jobs like that, so I can't relate at all; everyone should be like me and mine - rich. If you're not, you are either stupid or a deadbeat.
