With the stream of irrational rhetoric coming from both sides (and people seeming to soak it up like it's gospel truth), it's refreshing to read political commentary based on common sense.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04833932118472935969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9739005.post-1627910849989596042011-08-28T03:14:16.294-07:002011-08-28T03:14:16.294-07:00Brian-
Great commentary! I know you are correct ...Brian-<br /><br />Great commentary! I know you are correct about the American people having gotten themselves into this mess and the need for everyone to work together to get themselves out. I stand firm in my stance that increased taxes a)never go away b)make many hard working families feel robbed instead of feeling like they are contributing to the greater good and c)give the behemoth federal government increased control at a time when localities need to be free sacrifice and adapt in ways that are suited to local populations. <br /><br />Should everyone have reasonable access to health care? Of course. Should I be paying for the health care of someone who decides to have cable, a cell phone, and take out for dinner, while I (responsibly) go without cable and eat at home? That hardly seems like banding together.<br /><br />I believe in democracy and hope that a solution can be found which will unite the country from this fractious state<br /><br />Thanks for the intelligent discussion of such a divisive topic! <br /><br />TaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
