The Pump Handle: This brings me to my moral disagreement with Mitt Romney. I think we should bear the risks – of natural disasters, health problems, and other tough situations – as a nation. Given our vast wealth, I think we should be able to commit to ensuring that low-income residents get healthcare and states get disaster assistance, even if we have raise taxes to do it. I don’t want to see healthcare crises or moves into nursing homes bankrupting families. Even if governors or individuals make bad decisions about managing money or their health, I want them to fall into a safety net, not into ruin. We’re stronger as a nation when work together as a whole – and sometimes it takes a hurricane to remind us of that.
