The Beginning of an Error

We'll, it looks as if its going to happen. Health care reform. We all agree that being able to keep your coverage if you get sick is a no brainer, and pre existing conditions shouldn't keep us from getting insurance. Funny thing is - is that these are all points of view that are shared by Democrat and Republican alike. So why don't we just fix the things that we don't like about Health Care, and keep all that we do like? It's like with all government run programs - they fail, and they fail miserably. Take Medicare. Riddled with fraud, and many, many Doctors wont take Medicare patients, because they cant make a living doing it. I don't blame the Doctors, I blame the government. How about our brilliantly run USPS. Losing billions this year alone, and now thinking of shutting down Saturday delivery to boot. Hello, has anyone ever heard of FedX - making millions, and providing excellent service. Lets look at another 1935 error. Social Security, that is in the trillions of unfunded dollars. The brain child of FDR. Actually NOT a great President, but one of our worst. The real problem with entitlement programs, is the fact that only a small majority of the general public end up paying for all of these handouts. That's right only about half of all Americans actually pay Federal Tax. 53% of all Americans pay for the other 47% of all Americans who probably don't have a clue that they DON'T pay any Federal Tax. Everyone should have to pay into the system. Progressive tax - Another brilliant Liberal idea. How about we all pay something, and we keep the government focused on keeping us safe, and getting out of our way otherwise. I'm no longer a Republican, I am a conservative - Fiscally and Socially - and if you don't know what that means - you probably don't pay your fair share anyways! I apologize for the rant, but if we all don't wake up soon - we'll all have everything we ever wanted and nobody left to pay for all the freebies.
