Universal Health Care

ChristopherHall · #1 02-15-2008, 11:15 AM

One last thing, consider how this would effect the church and ministers. First, if people are saving on their insurance costs monthly. That liberates more of their income and produces the option to give even more to further the work of God, should they desire to do so. Ministers might benefit the most. Think of how many ministers with families would move into full time ministry if they were covered by a universal health insurance plan.

Wouldn't there be a higher tax revenue to offset the expense? Didn't I hear someone say that Obama wants to through 1 trillion dollars at the issue?

I'm okay with universal healthcare as long as it's a CHOICE.

I think that Americans should have a choice as to whether they want it or not.

Did you all know that the extreme rich pay very little taxes in America? they send their money to off shore banking and such. maybe there would be more revenue if this group paid their taxes ???

Mark, you are saying that ALL extremely rich do this??????? I know some that are very honest.....and extremely rich. BTW, do you know that many of middle America don't file tax returns????? Until we repeal this unethical system we will always have this trouble.

If there has to be taxes I think it should be no more than 10% and it should be across the board, rich and poor.

I don't know the percentage, but i know that a great many don't.
They know the loopholes better then the middle class and have the means to find ways to avoid the system. Very few in middle america get away with not paying taxes.

Dave,I don't like the tax system either. I think we are taxed to death.

what do you think of a flat tax ?
