[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3403235, member: 24302"] You're diving into a conversation that's not about taxes. I'm making a point. We've got people here always talking as if it's just as easy for people on lower pay to pay the now much higher across the board insurance costs as it is for them with their much higher income. And if we're not willing it's because we don't care about the poor, especially poor minorities. As if families with household incomes in the mid-30k's to $60k or so have money to burn. Someone making $100k and probably much more telling me I'm a racist is a load of horse hockey. If he cares so much and wants to contribute to the cause more power to him. But can the self righteous posturing. And if he's going to insist middle income families should feel some pain in order for the poor to be subsidized then he should have to pay more. Progressivism at it's finest. [/QUOTE]
