lakehouse: Would that be the Constitutionally guaranteed National Health Care System?
The Federal government is responsible for the “three C’s”: Commerce, Communications and the Common Defense. Other than that, they need to stay the hell out of our affairs.
As far as the overarching system of entitlements you want and increasing taxes to pay for them, well, that’s the “uncool” part.
Brutus isn’t selfish at all. He’s simply wanting to keep more of what he has worked hard to make. Remember, tax evasion is a crime, but tax avoidance is a Constitutionally guaranteed right. Unlike your national health care system. You should move to Sweden, where they’ve done a fabulous job with cradle to grave social entitlements. You’d stand out a bit, but you’d get used to it after a while.
