I get my real estate tax bill and I'm paying 12% of the real estate tax for "indigent healthcare." In the meantime, I can't afford my own. Because of price and tax increases, I'm now treading water. Anything can literally drown me. Yet the billionaires are getting richer day by day and punishing me for being merely a hardworking American citizen.

I am sorry to see the great state of Nevada joining the union with regard to taxes. (The casinos at one time used to pay all your taxes for you. Talk about taxing business.)

You are right that we are all paying for indigent healthcare. In the case of illegal aliens, we are also making the kids lifelong citizens who will doubtless need more of society's largess as they grow and go to school. We should stop taking care of the poor and the world's traveler in this manner. No question about it.

Now finally, you make the connection that "you're treading water" and the "rich are getting richer"? There is no connection. You had better take action in your own life, because you can be sure the rich are not going to watch out for you. (The solution is to reduce your expenses, create savings, and invest thouse savings. In this way you or one day your children will have people refer to them as rich.) It is true in this sense that workers are suckers. Read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" if you can find a copy. It will explain how this system works, and help you to get over your class envy, because this is all you feed when you cite the democrat line that the "rich are getting richer". Likely they are, but they are also making the economy function, and creating work and jobs as well. How many poor people create jobs? How many people have you hired? So billionaires are probably helping you more than you know, (and paying a h*ll of a lot of their wealth in taxes, these are the people Kerry wants to tax more) and are not aware of your existance much less hurting you. So I want you to take that back.
