taxes will increase by a few dollars at most to cover universal health care. and if taxes need to be raised to cover the deficit from the spending on the war, then that is not obama's fault. it is the man who started the war. duh. and obama is giving tax CUTS to over 90% of the working people. they will get raised for those making over $250, 000. the more you make, the more they take. that is how taxation has always been. nothing new. i work 3 jobs to survive. and i have 2 college degrees. so i am educated and hard working. it is about time we get healthcare for all. do you not realize that the countries who have government run healthcare have better economies because of it. people can afford the better house, and car and brand new tv because they don't have medical bills and huge prescription costs like we do. that will stimulate the economy because people will spend more disposable income. thus creating more jobs to make things for people to buy. pretty darn simple, really!
