Health reform: A new pocket picked

When I look at my paycheck from gross to net, I see a huge amount taken out by state and local taxes, which pay for things I don't want or need. I think this health care bill will be just one more hand in my pocket, taking the money that I earned for me and my family.

Now, these things start out as sweet ideas, but they tend to sour as time has goes by. Social Security and Medicare both seemed like good ideas at the time they were passed, but now, I wish I had all the money I've paid into them. The same thing will happen with health care reform. Another pool of money for Congress to steal out of and write another worthless IOU. No to health care reform is what makes sense.
