Subject: Health Care Tax, etc. Comment: It seems that every 'break' an individual receives goes by the wayside when the government cannot appropriately manage finances according to the wishes of their constituants (MOST Americans I would surmise are on the same page about this, and it is doubtful that it would matter if they are Republican or Democrat.) The national debt is a nightmare, so the idea of shifting yet another cost onto the individual cannot keep the government afloat forever, there is just so much to go around. With the oil and gas prices showing no let up, the lack of current health care (for all), the inordinate spending on an unpopular war when the needs of those at home and especially with the hurricane crisis looming for all citizens in our futures for many years to come, the current administration's mismanagement in general is appalling. It is also VERY interesting how as voters we hear about "no new taxes", yet this is cost shifting onto all individuals but in a manner that many may not as readily pick up on. My guess is that the individual will view this as "from their employer" instead of from their president's advisors (I am sure they are hoping this would be so!) The final kick is his new appointee to the bench, and his defense of her ties in with religion. WHAT has happened to the separation of church and state? The precident that is being set reminds me very much of the religious wars from Ireland to the Middle East. It can be called religion, but so interlaced with politics that there will no longer be one America. |
