Freedom is the Big Illusion

Obama as a force for removal of freedom & choice? Taxing the wealthy.

This from a friend in re Obama:
I find it very ironic that the first black president is trying to make us all a slave of the goverment, take away our right to choose,make all of our decisions from cradle to grave, I will never vote for him,did not vote for him and will do all I can to defeat any policy that takes away my freedom.

ME:
The way I see it, we're slaves to the wealthy, who, in the end, sway most decisions made for us and REALLY don't have our best interests in mind। Fight for them to pay a MUCH greater portion of taxes from the wealth they're building off OUR backs।

Health Care Reform - Who should pay the bill?

I'm just a progressive not happy with the status quo.

Much of this can apply to issues other than health care. Roads, utilities, military, disaster relief, etc. - all for the common good in the long run.

Income tax - MUCH less for those just making it month-to-month. MUCH more for those making out like bandits - especially on unearned income. Give actual PEOPLE the same tax breaks businesses have.
