You hit on the problem back in the start of your last post. No one wants to pay for anything, but a lot of people want someone else to pay their way. That's why we fight this stuff. Not that we wouldn't like a good system that actually worked and was publicly funded, but because we have seen what happens every time we let the Feds, and often the States, take over a system. Doesn't matter what it is, highways, education, land use, whatever, the results always, always, ALWAYS end up costing many times the projected costs, are over regulated to the point that they become unworkable, end up conflicting with numerous other entities and never seem to work in the end. So why would so many of us willingly jump onto the band wagon for healthcare? We're the ones paying for it. Only 60-some % of our working age population works and 50% of those pay no effective Federal Income Tax. So you have about 30% of the population paying for the majority of the Federal programs. Well, actually we are paying the interest on the debt on the money borrowed to run the programs because 30% of the people footing the bill isn't near enough. So, short of tearing the whole system down and going socialist (the plan of the current regime and the left) all we can do is fight to retain what we have left.
As far as the election thing, yeah, it sickens me that so many of our pols use tax dollars to keep themselves in office. Sickens me more that so many of my fellow taxpayers can't see exactly what they are doing! That is the answer IMO- getting the taxpayer to see whats really going on.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
