Yawn.
I'm tired of people like you wanting me to pay more taxes to provide for others. I have an idea that those of you who support national health care should like: You pay more taxes. If it's not enough, then you pay even more to make up for those of us who don't want to do it. And those of us who don't want to pay will not be able to benefit from national health care, but continue to pay for private health care. Let's say it takes an average of $2500 a year in taxes to provide national health care. How about you pay $5000 so I don't have to? That way, the money will be there. In fact, if everyone who claims to think it's such a great idea payed double the amount required, there would be even more money for socialized medicine. Sound good? Or are you not willing to do your part to take care of others?

Yea, if Obama can cut a deal to have the terrorists leave us completely alone and the Russians and the Chinese so we can use our resources taking care of ourselves and not protecting others, yea then he is my guy. I know, I know, America has only helped other countries because of our own selfish interests. If only we were nicer, everyone would love us. |

I won't ever argue that our experiment in capitalism is not an outrageous success in economic terms, but there are other costs, and the current furor in response to 9/11 has done much to reduce our position in the world. |
