Any of you upset over your healthcare law?

This is probably the most level headed view on any "system" that I've seen posted here. It probably describes any modern "western" civilization to a tee. Our issues over here are just more highly publicized because of our supposed leadership in the western world.

The elected boys aren't in a conspiracy to drag us all down, they are just responding to their constituents - which is typically highlighted by the biggest contributors to thier campaign fund. Sometimes what they pass has been good for me, but typically, and the more I make, the more I'm on the side of giving my income to those that either cant or wont work.

I liked the idea of us all quitting our jobs. Kinda brings a smile to my face to imagine the outcome of that. But reality is that there is never solidarity, 'cause people are more interested in protecting themselves as opposed to the overall good.


Finnster - thanks for that last post. Well stated.
