well fair?


There is one more private fundraising event for Mitt Romney, sponsored by billionaire mega-donor Sheldon Adelson at The Venetian in Las Vegas tonight.  To be fair,the president will hold a few more fundraising events as well between now and the November election. Millionaires and billionaires will be on hand for tonights event ready to write checks and make a financial contribution. 
In South Carolina, a yearly income of $16,900 is too much for Medicaid for a family of three. In Florida, $11,000 a year is too much. In Mississippi, $8,200 a year is too much. In Louisiana and Texas, earning more than just $5,000 a year makes you ineligible for Medicaid. (Huffington Post)
There is more money to buy a politician, but not enough cash to assist in permitting poor people to at least have privy for affordable health care. There are always more excuses to cut the taxes for the wealthy but an absence to find the finances to assist in Americans in at least securing some kind of health care. There is energy to define the wants of the rich and little to no enthusiasm in demanding that the poor should even receive a small share of the American pie.
Imagine if a portion of the dollars raised to buy the presidency were sifted  and shifted to something as humane, even Christian by placing those excess dollars into affordable and equal health care. Imagine how some of the tax dollars exported to oversee accounts (all legal but how American is that) or hidden in the only seen exemptions for the ultra wealthy, could be placed in a fund that seriously states all Americans no matter their wealth should have the right to health?
Class warfare, nope class massacre, class divide maybe more of a no class approach to the poor. It is not a matter of Capitalism is best Socialism is worse. It is  not a matter of Conservatism is greater and Progressivism is less then. It is a matter of being human, caring having a conscience that surpasses your one greed, gluttony and God forsaken selfish bull shit. How do you vote for people who say income as low as $16,000, $8200, $5000 is way too much and if you want to sty healthy earn more. 
The election should be about real people, with real issues of survival, health and welfare. The first consideration should be how many people will not have enough to eat, a safe place to live, access to health care. the first consideration should be how can we heal the wounds of those who need a helping hand instead of cutting open and creating more sores. 
Why is there even a debate on the welfare for the masses? Why?
