It has been a revelation as I have watched the 13 male Republicans craft an insurance plan for the American people — behind closed doors, with no input from women or Democrats.
Republicans want to characterize low-income people as unworthy and responsible for their own misfortunes. I would like to take away the fat wallets of some of those rich Republicans and set them out on the street with nothing, just to see how far they would get without their wealthy support system and super insurance plans. Isn’t it amazing how they exempted themselves out of the Trumpcare plan?
Historically, every spiritual teacher has taught that people are responsible for their fellow man. I can’t help but wonder how that teaching has been so lost along the way.
According to other news about Trump, he now wants to also take away heating funds for the poor and elderly. Is there no end to the destruction he is bringing to the American people?
