The compassionate dictator argues with the compassionate central planner over whose compassion is most appropriate. The people have no choice in the level of compassion care they desire. If you do not like your compassion care plan, you can move to a location which has a different plan. Plan comparison is not easy. There is no single website with state by state, county by county, muni by muni compassion care charts. And the charts change without notice anyways. If you do not like your compassion care plan, you can move, as each is a one size fits all plan. The… Read more »
Lard boy has NO idea what he is doing.
HE wants to make Illinois a socialist state.
