What is our moral responsibility to each other?
Property:loss whatever, if you lose everything because you did not have insurance, I don't feel the acute moral outrage like I do knowing that people who have paid into their health insurance, get screwed at payout time, lose their home, end up red-lined and homeless, where their car insurance premiums suddenly hike to hell regardless of driving history, I truly believe with a strong opinion and stuff, that these parasitic scumbags need to be regulated, and we all need to wake up and participate in the miracle of this modern economy.
