ok everyone the democracts want to provide free health care to all in america. what they want to do is tax the rich to give to the poor. if this happens the poor will get poorer and the rich will get richer. becuse if they are taxed they will pass the cost on to us. its like a baseball team who has 25 player who all make 1 million a year ticket cost 5.00 the next year all 25 make 3 million the ticket prices goes to 15.00 a ticket.
why do liberals not get this

Very, very wrong argument.
I am an employer, and the first thing I can tell you is that right now one of my major costs (the one that I have to pass to either the employees or the customers) is... astronomical health insurance cost for employees. If I didn't have that cost, I could actually lower the price of my services.
Secondly, taxes are paid only on net pre-tax income. Therefore, in you only consider business operations, higher income taxes have only an indirect effect on costs. The way taxes negatively affect businesses is when they raise cost of living. Higher cost of living leads to higher labor cost and lower customer buying power. But here we are not talking about just a tax increase, we are also eliminating a major cost that all people have now. So, I do not expect a higher cost of living as a result of this.
The statement that higher taxes would make rich richer and poor poorer lacks any common sense. Rich are taxed at higher rates, higher taxes tend to close the gap.
Whether providing social services to the poor at the expense of rich is a good idea is debateable. I could argue either way, but if you look at the facts, it appears that states with higher level of socialized services are far more successful. Just look at California, NY, CT, MA. These states have much higher average incomes than the rest of the nation, much better job opportunities, higher educational levels, etc.

The Democrats always think the general populace is stupid, and continues to promise them the Treasury. The middle class will bear the biggest burden of any "free" health care system, which will jack tax rates through the roof.

They are also floating a 5 cent gas tax because one bridge collapsed for an as yet unresolved reason.
They also want to tax for carbon emmissions, create a more easily abusable welfar system and basically let a few workers support a bunch of lazy losers.
Liberals just want to tax everything and make people dependent on government handouts - while always promising more freebies to get more votes.
Oh yeah, and they want to destroy the family and any form of morals in society along the way.

You are already being taxed, but the distribution of the tax money is in the wrong places. I understand your confusion on the issue, though. There is a lot of false propaganda being disbursed to fight Universal care by the moneyed interests in the debate. Please, take the time to study the issue more in depth before making a decision about such an important issue. I have placed this info here several times today. Please, take the time to read it. It is very informative and explains the statistics and facts. Thanks.

That makes absolutely no sense. The most expensive part of a GM car is the health care paid to the workers.
You make less all ready due to private health care. Your employer would pay you more. I have state provided health care that is very good that is only 2% of my paycheck. Most people pay much more.

I assume you are lucky enough to have health insurance or to be too healthy to need it. As an experience, go to your local county hospital ER and talk to some of the people in the waiting room. And, no, they won't all be illegal aliens! Find out what the alternative is to your scenario. Then tell me why conservatives don't get this.

The people now tax themselves to pay for free schools, free fire departmets, free police, why not to keep the citizens healthy.

The liberals don't really care about people, they only care about themselves, about getting elected on lies and empty promises and gaining power.

Perhaps because they are the ones that are stupid.
