No, actually, it takes a warped person not to present the facts in the first place in order to create the impression that the facts don’t exist.

Why didn’t he buy family health insurance in the first place? It’s called being responsible. He has 4 children – he has a responsibility toward them. If that means he has to work for someone else instead of starting his own business, then that’s his obligation. How about if he didn’t feed them – because he didn’t have enough money to start his own business – would you be in favor of giving him food stamps?

Ya know what that proves? That he pays $50/yr for a corporation certificate to the state. It’s a small business that he started – believe it or not, millions of Americans have their own businesses, and they’re not rich. They’re just out there trying to make a living.

It takes a warped person to see this set of facts and think it’s all a fraud.

But I do think they deserve some scolding for rolling out a sick kid for some old-school heartstring-plucking while knowing that he wasn't exactly mired in poverty. They used a little kid to pitch their fraud. That's outside the lines, as far as I'm concerned. Well, insofar as I don’t think they’d feel shame, I agree with you.
