Re: Universal Health Care

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 was against the war from the beginning. I think that to change hands, or pockets, from which the money comes from doesn't help anything.

It's not winning??? actually the war in Iraq has begun to turn in our favor Ron. If America failed then why is Iraq beginning to spring back to life?
