Paying for Health Care Bill - New Tax on the Wealthy

To:
President Barack Obama
Sen. George Voinovich
Sen. Sherrod Brown
Rep. Marcy Kaptur

November 3, 2009

Health care reform must include how we can pay for it. The wealthy owners, high level officials, CEO's and the like shifted the money from sharing with the employees to themselves. If they had not gotten so greedy we may not be in this mess. Why not tax them, since they wanted to keep all the money then common sense tells Americans the money has to come from somewhere. What was that someone once said, "Pay now or pay later." Wealthy may find themselves paying higher taxes in the coming years because they refused to pay it to workers or in taxes to the IRS in the last recent 10-20 years. It had become a shift in money from all to a few.
I respectfully request you get this bill passed and let them pay for it. I am sure more Americans use to pay their share of taxes, etc. before the money was shifted to the few.
