You know that's not how it works. We all pay a fair share, and that means progressive taxes.
I guess my question is this: why are you against paying less money for health care? Why is your ideology more important than having more money in your pocket? We all know that even in countries that have wildly better health care systems than the US, they only pay half of what we pay in insurance in their taxes. It doesn't make sense. You're acting like you're trying to defend your hard-earned money, but you're doing the opposite.
