I am really sorry if you thought I was being negative about you. For I was actually very impressed by you being so kind in your second response. I suppose I should have made that more clear. Speaking of making things more clear, what I am wanting to see happen would not cost us another dime in taxes. In fact, we would probably see a great reduction in them AND have enough to pay for all sorts of wonderful things, including universal health care, if we would elect some people with enough guts to dismantle the bloated bureaucracy that is bankrupting our nation.

Well, Fishhawk, I can’t afford to pay for YOUR health care AND pay all those penalties I’m going to be getting by not paying for mine and all my kids’ health care. So I guess I’ll be blogging from the IRS penitentiary. I hope this makes you happy… hope something makes you happy, sheesh!

Whoa, I must admit that I expected you to just pour it on all the more, which would have been defeating your purpose. That is, if your purpose is to encourage as many as possible to get truly involved in the political process. I am quite impressed, and yes, it was a stupid example to give. Social Security taxes, and even the Federal Income tax, would have been much better.

To make my position on the matter clear, I would like to see some kind of national healthcare in place, but first we need to get rid of much (if not all) of the waste and fraud that now exists, which would more than pay for it. Furthermore, the health care itself in this country is not nearly as good as it could be. So, we would be just spending billions upon billions of dollars on over-priced substandard care for most, if things were left as they are now.

Now Fishhawk, you’ve been around here long enough to know that when I speak, I tend to speak very broadly and I do not mince words. Please know that I didn’t smack you in the face, and I didn’t take offense at your example, either. It’s a very COMMON example, a very common misunderstanding. I battle these kinds of misunderstandings every time I read the news, so by the time I post things here, I’ve really got my dander up. Please understand that I in no way meant to slap you in the face!!!

I have to say that my heart is wrenched into little bitty pieces everytime someone implies, “Oh well, the government is going to get away with their illegal and immoral legislations; they always get away with it, anyway.” That hits my little Hot Button, you see. The entire reason these Washington jerks are so arrogant and so inconsiderate of law and of us is because they are ALLOWED to get away with it. We need to make BIGBIG STINKS about it.

So here I is. :D

Thanks for your comments, all!
