Business however are beating the system by employing two people to work a job part time instead of having a full time person and paying them benifits. if businesses have to ante-up for all their employees this would relieve healthcare costs on the people out their bustin their balls everyday, not sitting home collecting a check. i believe a president and congress could help greatly with that.

I dont have a problem with the taxes i am paying that go towards the benifit of citizens of this country. whether that be roads, police, etc… in the same breath i’m tired of the burdeen of ghetto baby machines and trailer park heroin addicts.

I knew you were saying he was a good president, I was agreeing to a point, but showing how he was also quite bad and dishonest at the same time, much different from Dr. Paul.

We agree on socialized medicine being bad, but I don’t see why any company pays for any part of health insurance, it’s a crock. Do they pay my home-owners/renters insurance? Should my employer should pay my auto insurance too? That’s why salaries are being driven down, the cost of doing business keeps going up.

If we reduced entitlement programs to prevent the current abuses and lowered taxes accordingly we would all be better off.
