[quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, I’d pay more taxes to ensure there were things like universal healthcare for those who wanted it.[/quote] You are missing the point. We cannot pay for the services that government provides _now_. Just to continue these, and balance the budget, you will need to pay significantly more in taxes (in the 50-100% more range). This does not get more services, does not get universal health care, or anything else. If you want that, you will have to pay even more (and convince the rest of the country to do that, too). This isn't politics--just math. And anyone who doesn't understand this is either innumerate or is happy to pass current expenses to future generations and put the future of the republic at risk.[/quote]
