Taxes are part of government, the only thing we can do is keep them to the minimum by insisting that the government only do things that are necessary and proper for the government to do. The fire department actually falls into that category, even if you don't like it.
Get "taxes" out of your mind for this discussion - we are talking about the relationship between the consumers of private health care coverage and those who provide that service.
My health care dollars going in to a fund today to help cover costs of my health care needs down the road. It's a simple transaction that needs strict government controls or wide open competition, 'cause the bullshit we have now ain't working.
I was addressing a specific question addressed to me. If you bothered to read the question I responded to you wouldn't end up looking like an idiot, especially after I just got through explaining to another poster that making me buy insurance from a private company is not a tax.
Fair enough, and no bother at all... I was simply responding to specific public posts on a message board to make a general point in the overall discussion. That's kind of what I DO here.
