Mr. President, why don't you ask . . . . . (drugs, millionaire, cost, politicians)

These are the truest words I have seen from a progressive in days. When can we expect Soros, the one who is worth as much as all the others combined, to start paying his share?

One would think, some of these people would have bad cases of dry mouth, after eating all those crackers. "{insert name} want a cracker?".

Speaking of crackers, how do those "YES WE CAN!" crackers taste by now? A bit sour?

Everybody here gets the same basic health care, be it a millionaire or a jobless person. Those who want more, have to pay for private add-on insurances.
I don't know of any game here where everybody should compete with millionaires, trying to pay more taxes than they do. But you probably have lived in Portugal for years and thus know this country better than I do...
By the way, I have not made use of any health care services in over 4 years, in other words, I am financing other people's health care, which is fine with me though.

Let me suggest that you watch Beck's May 3 show to see him explain how you have to include Nazi Germany with China and other Communist nations. I will hope that he isn't speaking words that you can't understand in his very well done attempt to show where we are today and where we began. He uses the old French seating method for their parliament which is what we all use for left and right. Take a chance and listen to him instead of Media Matters or ThinkProg.

You can do this very easily by going to Watch The Glenn Beck Show- May 4th, 2010- Now More Than Ever, We Need The Constitution I will hope that he isn't speaking words that you can't understand in his very well done attempt to show where we are today and where we began.

If everybody gets the same coverage, then some people are paying more taxes than others to get the same thing.

In other words, people who work full-time are likely paying more taxes for health care than someone who works say.....two days a week. Because they are paying more taxes.

So your coverage is disproportionate to the contributions that you make to the system.

You are benefiting from other peoples labor.

Of course it is. This methodology is the new fairness that libs seek.

Familiar with it or not, do you have the ability to think about it for half a second and reflect on what it means?

Wait, wait, I have an idea--

Picture Bill Clinton doing it, and then see if you can understand it.

lol Did he say those words or not? Yes or no

So? People who pay more taxes than me, obviously earn more than me. Actually, the more you earn, the easier it gets to pay your contributions. Being a freelancer, I am in one of only 6 fixed brackets, I pay exactly the same amount per month as someone earning twice as much as I do.
Apart from that I never make use of what I am entitled to, the state should be grateful for people like me.
