Carry's father worked for a co-op with no benefits and was fired after finding out he had Multiple Sclerosis. Carry says if her father had paid sick days her mother would have been able to transition more easily into working to support the family.

January 24 at 1:32am • Jarett James Worley So, who's gonna pay for the Health care?
January 24 at 2:24am • Carry Smith taxpayers who are also paying for the stimulus. duh. same one's who pay for parks, roads, education, foodstamps and the rest. freedom of speech is glorious. thanks for your inquiry.
January 24 at 2:24pm • Its Me Lol we have so many people it's not even a great increase in taxes for those people. I worked at George mason university full time for 3 yrs. In which my supervisor took two month long vacays leavin me and my coworker, who had been there a year longer and also got no healthcare cause the state didn't require mason to give it to "unclassified" ... See Moreworkers, to take care of masons recycling!!! I owe inova 5 grand because of this dumb stuff, and u wonder y there is so much hate and crime in this country?
January 24 at 2:29pm • Jarett James Worley Oh, well that's just cut and dry isn't it. THE taxpayers, who exactly is The taxpayers? Its people that wake up early everyday and try to make a concious effort to better themselves and there families. Why should WE have to pay for the people who don't want responsibility and won't attempt to buckle down and contribute to society. I'm not talking ... See Moreabout the old and retired people who have already paid their dues, but the proposed Health care Bill states if they're to old to contibute they can be refused care! No, I'm talking about the 1/3rd of the population in this country that expect something for free, that don't pay taxes ,that don't contribute! Now that pisses people off! Including me. And AMEN for freedom of speech it is so glorious, but the glory is the Lords and the Lords word offends all you Liberals doesn't it?
January 24 at 2:40pm • Carry Smith I am tired of conservatives who pretend that one must not be religious to believe in Christ and a national healthcare system too. Let's take the 1/3 of the population who are single mothers and trying to get out of welfare. Let's take the 1/3 of the populations who parents die and can't do for themselves. Let's take the 1/3 of the population who gets injected by a needle and can't afford HIV meds, because someone accidently gave them the virus. Let's take 1/3 of the population who is either in college or has just graduated and cannot afford healthcare and has expired from their parents plan. They can't get a job and have to resort to part-time work. They can not afford insurance because premiums are too expensive. But if they could afford a public option they would subscribe to a plan. But let's just inject one point of clarity here for conservatives who believe that we should fund things like a stimulus to buy out big businesses like AIG. Two presidents have bailed out companies like these, who have not helped us. So now I ask, is it completely a two party battle between conservatives and liberals, or republicans or democrats? Is healthcare, environment, education or employment a battle to resolve between conservatives or liberals? No. Discussions like these are also why more people in recent elections are upset about our current system. Many are identifying themselves as independents in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts.

Now, onto my next point… I am liberal on most things. That is why you should ask and identify my argument before your propose ludicrous information, that the LORD offends all liberals to try to prove a point that has nothing to do with how the current administration has failed to solve healthcare and spending, rather democrats or republicans. I am a fiscal conservative but also a liberal on socials issues. Let me say this. I believe we need a public option, but with financial constraints rebuilding our current domestic infrastructure, I do not think the U.S. is at a capacity to afford a public option presently. Taxes must be raised before we can do that. A stimulus is just a band-aid, on a wound that can not help in the long run, before Americans must take the responsibility and work to develop a better economy before we can do such a thing to afford a public option. In my opinion, a public option is something we need but maybe in a few years. However, the current bill would not even go into affect until 2012. By 2012, we should be in better state than we are now. But let me ask, you can help Haitians, but what about Americans? Conservatives or liberals alike are quick to help others in other countries, but when do we stop to help our own.

Unclassified workers I think also need to be taxed. Don't know how it can happen, without getting stricter on immigration laws. But they put constraints on our infrastructure, whether democrat or republican, it is time for them to put their dues in to.... See More

January 24 at 3:12pm • Jarett James Worley Very well, Carry.
January 24 at 3:20pm • Its Me Dude I just told u I woke up at 5 am to work from 6-230 mon-fri for 3 years and was denied healthcare from a state run institution simply because they weren't obligated to give it to me, what was ur long essay about? My supervisor took two one month paid vacays I get hurt off the job and I owe 5 grand for getting a sling on my shoulder? Plus all ... See Morethe days I missed I got no paid vacay. U people r hateful and mean. If u make less than 250,000 a year u won't be taxed. Ur cryin for that? I'm cryin because my credit score is shot after working 3 yrs for a school that is constantly profiled by the Washington post. U prolly couldn't be a recycling man for 3 yrs without any healthcare 40+ hrs. A week bud... Sorry, get real
January 24 at 3:35pm • Carry Smith My long essay is about conservatives thinking I am not concerned and liberals who are not real as you say. I am not hateful or mean, just truthful. America has to find an away to provide healthcare in a way that will not disenfranchise Americans further and help everyone. If unclassified people need benefits to, they need it, give it to them. I did... See More not suggest to not help them. Not doing so I think is also a liability. But they cannot get it for free, if tax paying Americans have to pay, everyone should be taxed and be able to receive benefits. But a system without income-based befits is not sustainable. A system that is not able to help everyone is not worth having either. Being top rated or rated at all is great. However, schools that have a clinic too, should offer benefits for their students. Hell you pay a fee for their services, or at least a discounted rate, so you do not go in debt. People need to learn that we can introduce a program. But it must be efficient. FDR did not mean for S.S. to go as long as it did. It was to be restructured in the 1960's but that did not happen. It's time for a change America. Let's make it happen. Sorry, but let's all get real my friend.
January 24 at 3:58pm • Jehan Mustafa Perera This country is in too deep. Everything is just a patch up. The powerful rich won't stop n give up their riches. They'll just buy ways to make the rest of the population (who are in need) seem as if though they've got a plan in working to help the country out. This country is looked down upon in so many parts of the world...it wasn't true years ago. I really don't see drastic changes happening to make this country better. The rich are way too powerful. The damn illuminati!
January 26 at 7:07pm • Carry Smith Wow! I agree. Your statement backs my argument, that a stimulus is just a "band-aid." Or as you put it, a "patch," for the rich to have even more legitimate control to under mass the proletariat, right before their eyes. Herbert Hoover and Andrew Johnson, feared that one day this country would be controlled by a rich or oligarchy that uses the ... See Moreaverage taxpayer as a puppet, pulling strings and stabilizing them when needed. It's amazing how petroleum companies are still rich, and they claim gas prices are the way they, because the economy is bad. In reality, if one was to research the taxes we pay on gas and the revenue petroleum companies receive on every gallon purchased, many people would reach a rude awakening. I guess you are some conspiracy theorist,huh? But I think even though as ludicrous as it may sound, there are hidden unions in power somewhere, whether the illumnati or free masons. I also question what other secret societies are out there besides big buisnesses, controlling america's debt and finances?
January 26 at 7:20pm • Jehan Mustafa Perera That's why I'm gonna join the rest of sheep for a little while and get the fuck outta here.
January 26 at 9:46pm • Carry Smith Well, goodluck! Wish u the best!
January 26 at 10:48pm • Carry Smith Well, that's why I will be here to help restructure and manage the rest of the flock from an antiquated system, in desperate need of a honest leader.
January 26 at 11:02pm • Jehan Mustafa Perera Sweet! Then I shall return after you've succeeded. In the meantime I've got a country to help who has bigger needs.
January 26 at 11:33pm • Carry Smith You do that.you help underprivileged countries. I help underprivileged and disenfranchised here. Good luck, humanitarian.:)
