If providing healthcare for everyone that needs it will overtax our health care system the answer is to increase the capacity of the system, not to restrict access.
None of the proposals being considered by Congress call for free health care. You've been lied to, Jack. You've been hoodwinked by the people you think have your interests at heart.

I dont think those "teaparties" are so much a protest over what the tax rates are currently but what Obama has promised they may be.
|
Obama promised to lower taxes on people making less than $250,000 and raise taxes on people making more than that. That's what he promised. Is that what you don't like?

Its more of a protest against the current environment for trying to generate an income against competition from third world countries.
|
Reagan did that and every president since has continued it. It's the "free trade" that right wingers are always promoting.
But they have an answer for you. In a recent Wall Street Journal the suggestion was made that American workers are greedy. They need to learn to accept the sort of wages that workers in other countries, like China, accept. That's the way to make American industry competitive again.
Right.

That and a government growing at a pace we cant sustain with current tax rates and revenue.
|
Republicans are responsible for that too. They've been cutting taxes to unsustainable levels since Reagan. Bush continued cutting taxes while growing government at a tremendous rate.

Yeah, you're mad alright. The trouble is you're mad at the wrong people.
