Economy

I must put in my 2 cents about the economy. The average arguments I run into make no sense to me. The republicans keep saying that lowering taxes in the rich is the key to growing the economy and lowering the deficit. In actuality, we tried lowering taxes for the last ten years and all we got was a ruined economy and soaring deficit. I would gladly pay another 5 percent in taxes to insure that the country was secure. My childrens future is worth it. I think the security of our economy would likely allow me to make more money.
Onto health care, I pay 6 thousand dollars a year for health care.
Income tax, sales tax, property tax, social security and Medicare combined only cost me around $3,000 a year. Most people I know are exactly in the same circumstance. Why do “conservatives” have no problem paying these premiums which enrich health insurance execs and wealthy doctors. But, they don’t want to pay anything to insure our country exists. If they bankrupt our government there is no military strong enough to save us. There is much more to be said here, but I feel I vented enough for now.
