facebook post worth repeating

The homeless go without eating. The elderly go without medicine. The mentally ill go without treatment. Troops go without proper equipment. Veterans go without benefits that were promised to them. Yet we give billions in tax breaks to the wealthiest 2% of Americans -- those who ...need it least. Only 1% of Facebook users will re-post this message. I am in that 1% -- what about you?

just posting this for my friend Justin...wise words to think about....this should justify our outrage

1. i reposted this in facebook with one correction

All people without health insurance go without medical care,not just the mentally ill. People with terminal cancer are turned away from health care. Surely that is as significant as mental illness.

3. funny... it took my awhile to get the joke. thanks

my job is helping people without access to health care qualify for state supported health care. I have been doing this for 20 years. I am extraordinarily distressed by people's lack of access to health care.

4. Definitely a good one. I posted it on my FB page yesterday.

I'm disappointed that none of my friends re-posted it. I thought somebody would.
