Lol, you sound just like my dad, I could have imagined them words coming out of his mouth. I don't think they are taking your life, it's just a tax to keep peoples healthcare fairly high. |
Until you start thinking as the collection of dollars as burden on the people of the country, your political views will always be swayed towards socialism. When all you see is the good taxes do when you spend them, and not the bad they do with you collect them, of course you will want to do good things with the money.
It's the same as thinking killing an animal for food is worse then going to the grocery store and buying meat. They both come from the same place :)
All I can say is do what I did. Go bust your ass for 20 years to climb your way up to upper-middle class, only to have the government take away 1/3 of what you worked so hard for, so others don't have to work, and see if you still think "it's just a tax".
P.S. your dad is a smart guy ;)
