What I'm hearing from most people who voted for Bush is that they voted for him because he is about putting responsibility in the hands of the people, people responsible for their own money, their own outcome. Which is all fine and dandy but what about those people who by no fault of their own, can't support themselves? What about people who for some reason, life gave them a bad deal? Not because they are lazy, maybe depression or loss of an arm or something...I mean you never know. What some people fail to realize is that those of us who are able to go to work everyday, achieve our goals and make a living for ourself, we are FORTUNATE. We are BLESSED. Any time, any day, God can choose to take you out (for lack of a better word) and you can be just like that person on the corner, who doesn't have food on the table or a home to go to.
Now, for the people out there who are just plain LAZY and don't want to go out and do for themselves, have been on welfare for the past 20 years, yes, something needs to be done about that. All of my hard earned money doesn't need to go to some couch potato. But for the people who do need it, we can't take it away from them.
I just don't see Bush having any compassion for anyone except rich people or himself. That is the actual factual. Another thing I don't like about Bush are his views on education...how are you going to use PUBLIC money to fund PRIVATE education? Not fair at all. And for those schools that are doing poorly, why not investigate the reasons why it's doing so poorly and invest money to improve those situations? Not take money away. That's just ass backwards to me.
Bush is obviously anti-women, anti-affirmative action, anti-civil rights, anti-abortion and the list could go on and on. He's basically anti-anything unless you're rich and you're a male. And for those of you who disagree, let's just see the state of the world in 2003.
