New Tax Plan
lets play great idea that will never ever get by republicans. social responsibility is not something they want differed to government, to an extent i'd agree. i'd like to hope that people would do what's best for their community/country, but left to our own devices that will never happen.

This is something akin to the idea that every American has a responsibility to volunteer within their community, whether its as a military member, a park member, a quick cleanup crew once or twice a year, or police of fire work. It's something people should do, they should want to do it, but a vast majority will not do free work out of their own sense of responsibility. If you're confused as to why i'd think there was a free version of military, fire, or police. well, you have volunteer sheriff's deputies, volunteer firefighters, and everytime they threaten to shut down the government we get told, you will show up for military duty or you will go to prison. So i'd count that as potentially working for free.
Anyway, great idea. Now we can follow up with "is it legal", "is it what the people want" and "seriously, 99.99 percent of you will never ever ever fall into the category of people this affects, why do you not want this to help offset the real, actual, dollars and cents financial burden you face every day?"
you'll hear the phrase redistribution of wealth used a lot over this. the plan isn't calling for everyone to make an equal share, the plan isn't saying that the rich should be penalized for being so good at whatever it is they are doing, it's just saying, at a certain point kicking a negligible amount of your income to make a huge impact on the people working for you isn't a bad thing.
anyway that's my wine fueled rant for the evening. if i wanted to go on longer i'd talk about why Ron Paul is about 70% the person i would vote for. sneak peak:
If a person who can easily afford health insurance chooses not to (hence the point of insurance) and then gets sick or injured and can't afford the hospital bills, then yes he should be on his own. the 30 percent i didn't care for was the idea that church and charity should care for him, and the fact the crowd went a bit extreme on the let him die thing. really an older white crowd in florida should be the last people cheering for both a removal of government medical benefits and punishing those without health insurance. I believe the government should provide a safety net, not a huge one, but one that cushions the blow for emergencies and large accidents. Having seen a hospital bill, having seen what insurance companies do to lower that bill by an enormous amount, i can attest, you don't want to be the guy without insurance. but that wasn't the point of the questions asked. he phrased it such that the person could afford it, actively took the risk of not having it, and then got sick. All insurance works like this.
Which would lead to my "i get your Ponzi scheme analogy Rick Perry" argument. Basically, we all pitch in a little to help people out a lot. i love that idea. when you say the money won't be there when larger numbers need it, i get it, it sounds like we pitch in for an idea we won't get the reward for. no reason to get rid of the program. make it work, that's what taxes are for.
education, infrastructure, science and medicine... we can't let fear drive our country away from progress, we must move forward, always.
(as always my views reflect my personal opinion, however uninformed it may be, and does not reflect the opinion of those around me, above me, below me, who have heard of me, those haven't heard of me, those who might think they know a guy like me, or their pets. you are free to disagree, to present facts, to whine a tiny bit, to sell me products i might actually use, seriously stop with the car ads, i get it already, my dream car, can't have it, i'll never be a super-millionaire, i have to plan economically, be responsible with my money, plan for my future, etc... Anyway, if you're still reading this i think you are clever. you can tell your mother someone called you clever today, she'll be impressed, really she will. aside from that, the bottle of wine is empty, my netflix has finished the movie, my laundry has gone ding, and i have to wake up early in the morning. good evening, have a wonderful night, and be especially nice to someone tomorrow)
