Based on your spelling maybe some of that money needs to go to education. Point proven...even if an uneducated slump like me can afford HI, then just about anyone could. So in your view people too poor to afford health insurance are just SOL, if they die in the streets--tough luck, not your problem. That is what charities are for, not government. I'll tell you what, we'll let you stop paying taxes, but you don't get to drive on public roads anymore, the cops and fire dept. won't come to your house when you need them, no more mail delivery and so on, you can take care of everything by yourself. Good luck. Now your talking. This is what the federal government should be spending tax dollars on; Infrastructure and homeland security. I don't even believe they should be managing the education system. It now cost more to send a child to public school then some private school. Having known people who lived in the USSR and were lucky enough to get out, you don't have a clue if you think the injustices you imagine you suffer from are anything like on the same scale. Of course if it bothers you enough you're always free to leave. This is exactly the road we are headed down. As our government grows, we get closer and closer to socialism. With the gross mismanagement of funds, our leaders have proven time and time again that they are clueless and incapable of running this country. They have bankrupted social security, the FDIC is just about bankrupt, numerous states are bankrupt and unable to pay tax refunds, even the federal reserve is close to bankrupt. They are now trying to pass a bill to take over 401K plans. It was the government's own FHA that lead to the crash of the markets. These are the people you trust to manage YOUR money. You are a fool if you do. What congress is doing should send a chill up your spine. For crying out loud, In the midst of all this economic turmoil, congress voted a pay raise for them. Their behavior is bordering on criminal and if we the people do not shout out and stop it, this country is doomed the same fate as all other socialist countries. Remember - we are not supposed to be working for the government. THEY WORK FOR US! |

Great, devil take the hindmost, a real humane point of view. Now your talking. This is what the federal government should be spending tax dollars on; Infrastructure and homeland security. I don't even believe they should be managing the education system. It now cost more to send a child to public school then some private school. So send your kids to private schools, what's stopping you? This is exactly the road we are headed down. As our government grows, we get closer and closer to socialism. With the gross mismanagement of funds, our leaders have proven time and time again that they are clueless and incapable of running this country. They have bankrupted social security, the FDIC is just about bankrupt, numerous states are bankrupt and unable to pay tax refunds, even the federal reserve is close to bankrupt. They are now trying to pass a bill to take over 401K plans. It was the government's own FHA that lead to the crash of the markets. Hogwash. The govt. played a part, but the unrestrained greed and recklessness of Wall St. played a bigger part. The govt. didn't force S&P to rate rotten securities tripe-A, AIG didn't implode because of something the govt. did but because they moved from insurance to gambling and they took multiple bets on every turn of a card. I believe in private enterprise, but *unregulated* private enterprise is a forumula for disaster, as we have just seen yet again. These are the people you trust to manage YOUR money. You are a fool if you do. What congress is doing should send a chill up your spine. For crying out loud, In the midst of all this economic turmoil, congress voted a pay raise for them. Their behavior is bordering on criminal So what else is new? Are you proud of what Congress accomplished with a Republican majority, do you figure there was less corruption and incompetence then? Govt. tends to be clumsy and inefficient, but that doesn't mean *everything* they do should be turned over to private business. I for one am glad Lehman Bros. didn't run the fire dept., if they had we'd all be fighting fires with garden hoses and buckets. |

Well, he's pay taxes for the public schools, and the fees for the private school as well. Not all can afford to pay for school twice. |
