barrysloateLeon- why does your aunt live below the poverty line? Does she choose not to work, or are there simply no available jobs from which she can rise above of it?
I too am against welfare; people who choose not to work don't deserve a free ride. But how about giving the poor a chance for affordable health insurance?. I pay my own insurance, I'm far from poor, and I find it disgusting what I have to fork over every month.
How about making health insurance affordable for everyone? This country has the worst system on earth. Will that ever change?
And let me add the minimum wage needs to increase, so that people who do work can live a little more comfortably (if you didn't work, it wouldn't apply).
