As I stated earlier, the idea is not to do that.

Why would you say that??? I have never been asked.

Ass-u-mptions... And both of my shoes are on the correct feet.

You were asked just now, and you said that you'd change your position if you were in the other situation.

No I have not changed my position. What I said was that I would use the system currently in place.

As are the people currently using the system. And they're welcome to it.

Absolutely, that was not the point of the discussion.

So taking your wealth and redistributing it to them is the answer?

No. Taking more of my wealth than they already take is not the answer. The discussion is about plans to institute a program similar to NHS or a Canadian model. It is about diverting and increasing taxes to establish a free health care for all system.

How about diverting what is currently given out in Corporate welfare and tax breaks for the very wealthy?

Selectively, I would agree with some realignment. What is wealthy?
When does my income become one of the wealthy?
100k, 200k, 300k, 400k, 500k, 600k, 700k?

I support a system of flat tax or Fair Tax.

When does the roll back of corprate tax breaks drive more industry out of the US and further cripple our economy? If very large corporations close more factories and industry and thousands more lose jobs and go on the dole would it still have been worth it to you to roll back those tax breaks?
