Sooner, or later, lying always catches-up with you.

Sooner or later, the rANTIS will find out just how true that statement is.

This string of comments are like a train wreck..."you shouldn't look, but you just can't help it."

Let me first say, I DO NOT want the government in every inch of my life. Anything the government touches goes to s***! Regardless of party affiliation. Let me take care of me and leave me alone!

With that being said, PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY then has to rein supreme. Accountability for YOUR choices in lifestyle. Everything that goes bad in your life is not someone else's fault! You are not MY responsibility to pick up the pieces for your bad CHOICES. No, I don't smoke, I am not obese (becuase I exercise at least a little and at least try not to eat all things bad for me), and I don't engage in "high risk" behavior. Much like my auto premiums (no accidents or tickets)- my health premiums should be lower for those reasons.

I also understand there are folks out there that have medical conditions that do not allow the same good health I have been blessed with. Those circumstances are different. But smoking, poor diet, no exercise, or other "risky behavior" are CHOICES and I do not want to pay for YOUR bad choices...i.e. Universal Health Care.(can we say rationing?)

These employees foolishly lied and got caught. Penalty- lose the $500.
