But Joph, there are poor people who actualy do somthing, and those who don't.
As for 2billion helping out Government Healthcare... they already go through 67billion or so a year. Thats like a 3% increase. Yay... healthcare gets 3% better!

So basically you're saying that people who make 10k a year shouldn't have to pay taxes because they can't afford it... but our bigas[/u]s government and high taxes to support the poor can take 33% of my paycheck to do so. Fu[u]ck that shi[u][/u]t. Too bad they already do it. I'm under the personal belief it should be 15% or so across the board. None of this "make more, pay higher percentage" crap. Thats like saying "You're more valuable, but we don't believe it, so we'll take more of it. That'll fix you!"
Its crap. Cut down the size of the government, cut down the size of the military, focus on force multipliers... etc, etc.
If you've ever worked for government or military (or even a moderatly large company) you know that half (or so) of the people there are completely worthless.
My company contracts me out at around 80$/hr so they can make a profit, pay the people who don't actually make money for them, and then pay me around 1/4 of that. If they cut out the middle man, they might be able to pay me more, and make more... just my theory. keep it small and efficient.
People should be entitled to healthcare though. Especially in life threatening situations. I don't have a problem with my tax dollars saving someone's life. I do have a problem with people cheating the wellfare system or riding it like an old horse.
That is all.
