Vote no for this bill that will be the "straw that broke the camels back" economically. While and extra 2.5% tax will not hurt you, that extra 2.5% tax when factored in on top of the rest of the extortionately high taxes we are already paying and all the little "add on taxes (fees, service charges, ect...) then you will be sending a large portion of "middle class", people that have been barely hanging on in this depression (that you refuse to acknowledge), into poverty and many will be forced onto the roles of welfare. As congress men your job is to protect and defend the Constitution and America and the American people. Instead you are progressively dismantling America "brick by brick"! Just how do you justify this treasonous behavior to yourselves? Stop this madness, bring common sense and integrity back to our government! Start doing the job your were sent to Washington to do...Protect and Defend!
Health care decisions belong in the hands of the patient and the doctor, not the government! Should this bill become law I, for one, will simply go to jail...I will refuse to participate in this forced enslavement! More government and government spending is not the solution it is the problem!
Vote NO on the S1679/HR3200 bill and ALL of it's various incarnations!
