The latest in gov't mangling of our rights

[QUOTE=suicideneil;
we all pay taxes to cover medical issues, only that the rich can opt to go private if they so wish at their own expense. [/QUOTE]

This is the way to do it. If this was Obama's plan I think it would fly a lot better, but Obama is trying to wrap in wealth redistribution at the same time. The plan is heavier taxes on the upper middle class and up. He also wants to limit tax write offs for that same group as well. To me, any time you single out one group of people that way, in my book, that is discrimination.

Problem is, that it places the burden on a few for the benefit of many and that is un-American. If it was going to be done right, everyone needs to pay!!! If it is worth having, it is worth paying for!!!
