Some politics to think about

Our constitution guarantees us the right to freedom and privacy right? Why is it fair that the government of anyone be responsible for everyone in the counties health and well being? Is it fair that some people have to work to pay for insurance,but when laid off or underemployed are declined coverage by government assisted programs because of income limitations?Why are some people allowed to not work and be on government assisted programs without no questions asked because of meeting all the qualifications without ever paying into a system that hardworking people put into?If we have the right to freedom and privacy,why does everyone else's money have to be involved in your well being?If we want to be guaranteed freedoms, why shouldn't people be able to vote on how taxes are spent in our country? Should we honestly have to work and pay into a system that many of us will never use or have not much of a say of who should be allowed into?

I ask these questions because the elections are coming up and there is the major debate of Obamacare verses Mitt Romney's idea to allow our constitutional rights to be exercised in regards to making rules for private companies that we own. Obama signed off on the healthcare law that made it mandatory to have insurance or be fined. But he also put limitations on how private companies can run their insurance plan. Should this really be allowed? How are freedoms exercised when the government can step in and change the rules in a private company that people have the option of using willingly or now?

I feel like we all have a right to live by the motto "If you don't work, you don't eat". What would people really do without government assistance programs if they were responsible for surviving on their own without the government making others foot the bill for it? How would a person really mentally be if the government did not make people's taxes go toward their well being?Would there really be more crime than we are dealing with in our country than the "La Riots,Freedom Riders and , Civil Rights Eras"?Would people continue to use the excuse that kids would starve and hard working people would be envied if this happens? What sense would it make to stop government assistance and the government from stepping into private companies forcing them to agree with rules to help anyone no matter what?

Do you think that our rights are guaranteed if we are forced to take care of others unwillingly?Should citizens have a right to vote on where their taxes go? Instead of just being told that someone else can use your money in any way they want just because the government says they qualify to do so?All opinions are welcome, I would love to know what you think!
