Do any of you folks get health insurance through your employer? Are you ready to trade that off for a $5,000 tax credit when McCain pays an insurance company (not regulated by your state)for your health care? Bear in mind that not all states require insurers to cover birth control, well woman exams, cosmetic surgery due to accident or severe injury, etc. Thanks, but I’ll choose Obama’s plan which allows my employer to continue my coverage (which runs about $13,000 a year).

I think that in a year or two, if conservatives are honest, they’ll realize how much better off they are under President Obama than they would have been under McCain.

For those who think taxation is “theft”, I have no answers because that’s just a foolish assertion. The gap between the wealthy and the middle class has increased enormously since WWII. (Research it and see the facts.)
