Tax rich for health care, House Demos say

By Obama's standard, it will be anyone who is working and getting paid.

How can congress be so naive to think that any kind of health care or social programs will work in america and keep our rights and freedoms? Every working man or woman or child will be subject to pay taxes for this program. Obama's idea of rich is any one who is or can be self sufficient and not living on government welfare. This battle for health care is a front to gain the support of the poor and ethnics in america to further his plans to create a dictatorship of his own. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing and the most dangerous man in america as he expands his empirical controls. Don't let his being an African islamist fool you, he hates democracy.

Lets see, if the median income in the US is about $40,000/year, then Obama would take from those above and give to those below to accomplish social justice. Then when those who work harder don't get rewarded they will stop working harder, and the enitre nation falls into poverty. Then comes the revolution because of failed socialism promises, and conservative capitalism is reborn and prosperity starts all over again.

Natural cycles, sit back and enjoy the ride. Socialism ALWAYS fails.

Working Americans already pay a hefty portion of their salary for social security medicare and state and federal taxes that further fund public health programs. Enough is enough. Why should some one have to pay for some one else's care simply because they have worked harder and smarter. I work full time. I buy private insurance for my children. I take care of my aging parents. How much more of my income do you personally feel entitled to? Obama will go down in history for bringing the country to its knees and obliterating the Constitution.
