You Can't Fix Stupid

A great op-ed on CNBC.com expertly points out the major problem with Obamacare: the poor, downtrodden section of society that we are trying to help, is unwilling or unable to help itself. Of the supposed 40 million uninsured, some estimates say only 400,000 have even signed up for Obamacare.
My major issue with this country right now is the lack of personal responsibility. We continue to make rules and laws to diminish the responsibility each individual has over his/her own life. But we're like a mother babying her children, eventually everyone needs to stand on his own and do for himself.
There is a certain segment of society that it too stupid or too irresponsible to make the right decision for himself and his family. We cannot help these people by giving them less responsibility, we can only help them by giving them more.
We have created an atmosphere where people can never work, and get food, housing, health insurance, cell phones (CELL PHONES!!!!) and extra spending money all from the government.
It seems like a lousy life to you and I, but to a lot of people it's better than going to McDonald's and busting your ass everyday for 8 hours and earning less money.
And until we get those people back to work and off the dole we will jump keep giving more and more to more people with no hope for people to every provide from themselves.
