Ted,

Of course, the rich would say that this system is unfair. Its unbelievable to me.....you want people making 20k a year to pay the same proportion of taxes as the guy making 250k per year while simultaneously paying all their own expenses including health insurance.

I guess your point is that the people making 20K would not be able to afford it, so they wouldn't stand for it. Basically, that's the point. If people knew how expensive the government is, they would revolt, and cut it down to smaller size, one that they could afford. But most people don't know how expensive the government is, since most people are not paying government's bills. So the government keeps growing.

Joe
