Good lord - trying to analyze the psychological nuances of these right winger's mindset simply gives The Gadfly a raging headache:
Collett counts himself among the 29 percent of people who said in an NBCNews/Kaiser poll they are angry about the health reform law. โThe issue for me is that it is not the proper role of government,โ he said.
Collett, who is married and has 10 children, says the kids are covered by Medicaid, the joint state-federal health insurance plan for people with low income and children who are not covered.
But itโs โabsolutely not okay,โ that they are, Collett says quickly. โThere are a lot of people out there thatโll cry foul."
Collett, whose children are home-schooled, likens taking Medicaid to sending children to public school. He also does not approve of government-funded public schools. โThe government is taking your money. They are spending it on things they shouldnโt be,โ he says. โTrying to get whatever you can back -- I have nothing against that. You have to at some point try and get your tax dollars back.โhttp://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-care-holdouts-uninsured-resisting-obamacare-8C11338371
Like the comedian Ron White says in one of his more well known routines - you can't fix stupid.
