Default An honest politician?

An interesting exchange between a congressman and his constituant in July.

I suspect all the politico's and I believe this now.

Now that's something you dont see everday. The noding at the end convinced me that he actually agrees with the accusations. Not just: yes I agree, if you wont for me I'll put a stop to it (yeah right), but: yes, I agree, sad thing, but I cant fight the tide...

What a nutcase, health service workers are slaves because you have a right to healthcare??????
Are al these "patriot" groups full of idiots or is it just the vocal ones that seek attention.
I suppose lawyers must also be slaves as you have the right to a legal representation.

What you need is an honest politician, one that will turn round to the fool and tell her to stop talking nonsense.

Did you read this again?

If health care workers have no monetary incentive why go thru all the work? There is no intrinsic right to health care as we know it.

Listen to that woman, she is talking rubbish, of all the possible objections there are to choose from she came up with an absolute loonytoon one.
If that were an honest politician he would have laughed his head off.

Is this some secret legislation that says people in the health industry shall no longer get wages?

Certainly not. But minimum wage isn't going to care for the pro bono work, now is it. Health care workers have families too.

The bottom line is any right the government gives, like health care, it can take away. So stop saying it is a right. Because it isn't.

Then you have my respect. It almost sounds like it could have come from Milton.

Is there any stipulation that health workers will have to do pro bono hours or that they are going to be reduced to minimum wage rates?
