So then you aren't opposed to paying taxes for free health care? That promotes the general welfare. Do you participate in Arizona's health care program. If so then it would be hypocritical of you to criticize a similar program for the entire nation. And should we be paying taxes for the general welfare of non-citizens such as those in Afghanistan and Iraq? Last I looked those weren't US states though there are probably some US corporations that want them that way so they can get at the old. > But it isn't socialism. > But you and other wingnuts here keep calling government health care "socialism" as you do a number of other things. I think what you are actually against is "communism" not socialism.
