The former billionaire, who inherited a coal mining business from his father, presides over a state where 29% of residents are on Medicaid
When Senator Jim Justice of West Virginia was asked about the Senate Republicans’ newly released portion of the proposed spending bill that requires parents of children older than 14 to work for Medicaid, he said, “biblically, we are supposed to work.”
You know, I don’t recall Medicaid being mentioned once in the bible.
I do seem to remember something about giving all of your possessions to the poor though. But maybe I am imagining that.
The socialism that Jesus taught would carry over to cover medical care that simply didn’t exist at the time. It’s funny how “socialism” is used by some as a bad thing…there is nothing wrong with society taking care of the citizens, it’s sort of the point of having it.
We are a post civil society. Everyone thought we were heading towards post capitalism but apparently there are some detours along the way.
