Not for nothing do they cal it "Social Security". But, you're saying that the federal government should provide universal health care and raise payroll taxes?
The best way to provide health care for individuals and families is by creating jobs for people so they can pay their own way. I'm in favor of universal employment - that's the solution to having no money. If everyone had a job they could afford their own healthcare plan. I'm not in favor of government free clinics - they suck. > As a self-employed consultant... > How do you like paying those double FICA taxes?
