Does no one really research things? Are you all lemmings with whatever the media says? &lt;BR/&gt;   Before you break out the needles, read this and read it carefully several times to digest it. Seriously. This is a non-partisan examination of the actual issues involved with the health care issues and why McCain's plan WILL benefit those average blue collar workers AND the growing ranks of us who work for ourselves. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;http://www.cfif.org/htdocs/freedomline/current/in_our_opinion/Will-John-McCain-Really-Tax-Your-Health-Care-For-the-First-Time.htm&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;   The liberal way is to have Government care for everyone at all times. This is called Socialism. The health care system DOES need to be revamped and improved, on that there is no doubt. But nationalized health care as in Canada and the UK is not the answer. Again, do the research and learn for yourself, don't take my word for it.&lt;BR/&gt;   Go the site for the PBS program "Frontline" and watch their completely bi-partisan report on the various world health care systems and THEN comment.&lt;BR/&gt;   Everyone lies.

When the problem is that health care is already too expensive for those who have it and so expensive that many employers/employees cannot afford it all, the answer isn't to tax it and make it even more expensive to both employers and employees.  We're trying to encourage MORE health care coverage, not create an incentive for less.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Second, as to your general points about taxation, every tax we pay is in some ways a multiple tax on the same thing.  My salary is taxed, and yet so are my employer's profits, and so was the income of the consumer who bought our product, and so were all of our suppliers, etc.  Every tax is a multiple tax.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The "double taxation" argument against estate taxes proves too much.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The one thing we should be taxing less is salaries.  Work should be encouraged.  It's crazy that we tax hard-earned salaries more than we tax unearned inheritances.  And since capital gains constitute a higher proportion of one's earnings the higher you go in the economic ladder, it's nuts that we tax salaries earned by average Americans more than we tax capital gains earned by the elite.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Attacking job-based health care, as McCain is proposing, is an attack on hard-working Americans.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Who is he putting first?  Insurance companies.&lt;BR/&gt;/jc</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7683707258575648795/830331184378699236/comments/default/4507536706858178181'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7683707258575648795/830331184378699236/comments/default/4507536706858178181'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reasonsnottovoteformccain.blogspot.com/2008/09/mccain-wants-to-tax-your-health-care.html?showComment=1221702000000#c4507536706858178181' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://reasonsnottovoteformccain.blogspot.com/2008/09/mccain-wants-to-tax-your-health-care.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683707258575648795.post-830331184378699236' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7683707258575648795/posts/default/830331184378699236' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-720274687'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.displayTime' value='September 17, 2008 6:40 PM'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683707258575648795.post-2009759390659169457</id><published>2008-09-17T18:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-17T18:34:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Excellent.

But I somehow came around to the conclusion that it's not a good idea to put a higher tax burden on the poorest people least able to afford it -- those struggling to put food on the table.  According to the link you provided, the top 1% of earners earn more than a fifth of our nation's income.
