| Body | Today America is the world's only superpower. This country can send people to the moon and beyond, create weapons to destroy the earth multiple times, lead the world in wealth and technology and so much more. America is this advanced and powerful, yet it can't --or won't-- take care of its own sick and poor. Uncle Sam was a symbol used in the past to instill patriotism in times of war and crisis. If Uncle Sam were to be drawn today to accurately represent the state of our citizenry, he would be a poor disabled man knocking on death's door. American politicians have money and health insurance so the woes of the average American citizen, who needs medical care and can't afford it, are low on their scale of priorities. The government can spend billions upon billions of dollars on the country of Iraq --and on politically motivated programs for illegal aliens-- and yet spend nothing in the way of universal healthcare for AMERICANS. There are over 40 million uninsured Americans! That is ridiculous! More than that, it is criminal! A country that can do so much for political reasons, does so little for the right reasons. Billions of dollars spent on an avoidable war in Iraq; money which could be going towards a universal healthcare program to keep all AMERICANS healthy and strong. To have the ability to feed and care for the poor and sick in our own country, and to choose not to do so is simply cruel and evil. Instead of spending time debating immigration bills for people who broke the law to get here in the first place, attention needs to be paid to the actual Americans. No politician at the state or federal level has any business asking for votes without giving universal healthcare in return. Uncle Sam is dying and he needs his meds now!!! |
