Oh well. Both me and wife work therefore our taxes are going towards anything we use anyways...its not what's good for the individual but what's best for the whole community.
I can no longer afford to buy my own health insurance thanks to the ACA but I'm glad that my tax dollars can still pay for someone else to have health insurance. That seems really fair to me.

Again, I understood the question perfectly. My answer remains the same. Your disagreement with it does not mean I did not understand your question.

Yes you indeed have no problem giving away other peoples money, exactly what I said.

So you are against all taxation?

Why are you blaming programs like welfare for the actions of those in power???? That makes absolutely no sense at all. Thank goodness we do have these social safety nets otherwise thousands of Americans would be up ****'s creek without a paddle.

When I said everyone, I thought it was clear I meant everyone with an income. I guess it wasn't so clear. This is the second time I've clarified it. It shouldn't need to be done again.

None.

We will end up paying above what we've already paid this year.

And I have family members who can FINALLY afford to buy health insurance thanks to the ACA. I AM glad my tax dollars are paying for others to have health insurance. It IS very fair. Extremely.

Repubs are not against you working hard, learning a skill, getting a better job and better benefits.
Problem is when folks like you want it given to them.

I think I was clear that many people simply cannot afford for their taxes to rise much more. A large raise in taxes, which would be required for something so large as socialized medicine, would push many into poverty.
