[QUOTE="brett636, post: 249434, member: 249"] Nothing left huh? Let me try and educate you then I was going to leave this topic alone assuming it had died, but alas it has not, and your ignorance is too great to keep me quiet. In your last reply to me you said the following: Thats called raising taxes. Taxes are lowered and you want to raise them. Taxes are wealth redistribution as they take from those that have more to give to those that have less. Wealth redistribution= socialism. Thank you clarifying the obvious, but you failed to reply to what I said. If things are allowed to go as they are our government will be running a surplus in tax money. That means by 2011 they will be bringing in more money than they are spending and thus can put that extra money towards paying down the national debt. Raising taxes as you suggested to pay for bloated healthcare programs that would be run by the government would end all that. Hillary's program is estimated at $110 billion, but thats not what it will really cost. A similar program suggested by John Kerry during his failed presidential campaign was estimated at costing $1.5 trillion over 10 years. Signifigantly more than hillary's own estimate. Lets not also forget the democrats who tried to expand the SCHIP program by raising taxes on cigarrettes. The one major problem with it is to pay for its true cost we would need more Americans smoking than those that already smoke to pay for this program. Will you pledge to smoke a pack a day for the children? Again, raising taxes on any group of Americans is taking money from them to give to those who do not deserve it. That is [B]WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION[/B]. Anyone who has studied Macroeconomics knows that taxes are considered transfer payments, that means they are not treated as in increase in our national output, but taking from one group of people to give to another. I would much rather my money to go to pharmacuetical and insurance companies who will take their profits and invest it in places that will ultimatly end up with me recieving better care. The freemarket system so far has provided us with the best healthcare system in the world, and your the one trying to ruin it for us all. [/QUOTE]
