We obligate ourselves by the legislators we vote for. We should stop, rather than using that violation of rights as an excuse for other violations of rights (i.e., marijuana criminalization).
Get your hand out of my pocket
It was never in - I pay for my own medical care.
Those who want the programs are generally not those paying for them..."We" don't elect them.
Oh, so you vote only for candidates who support an end to taxpayer-funded medical care?
"We" don't get the politicians and policies "we" vote for. "We" get the politicians and policies that the bottom 51% of the electorate supports.
As for you claiming to pay your own medical bills...do you pledge to pay the medical bills for all the other potheads you're unleashing on the rest of us?
