You've said this repeatedly about several topics. Would you care to clarify, just for my sake, whether you're predicting or threatening revolution?

I pay less for an individualized plan than the quoted article claims I'm paying, so I have reason to doubt their numbers across the board. Even if I am paying more than I would under a socialized system, I currently get to choose my doctor, and he spends as much time as I need him to spend addressing whatever is wrong with me. I don't recall hearing anyone defend soicalized medical care by claiming that they get to do that.

I'm really not sure how to respond to this. Even if I did consider taxes to be a salary for the government, I'd still see them wasting money and abusing the power that the "right" to tax us gives them.
