Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she might be willing to garnish the wages of workers who refuse to buy health insurance to achieve coverage for all Americans.
The New York senator has criticized presidential rival Barack Obama for pushing a health plan that would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not always specified the enforcement measures she would embrace, but when pressed on ABC's "This Week," she said: "I think there are a number of mechanisms" that are possible, including "going after people's wages, automatic enrollment."

“Man, that’s thick.”
Here’re the words straight from the horse’s mouth:
“If your point is “The money I make is mine and no one can take it” then you couldn’t be more wrong. Every citizen must give back to the system that gave them a hospital in which to be born, roads on which they can drive, schools in which they can be educated, and so on. Similarly, if you think that everyone should have to pay the same amount of taxes, that’s just ridiculous and you’re dooming thousands, if not millions of people to even further depths of poverty. ‘Besides, you do know that the US mint is operated by the Department of the Treasury, right? Your government actually physically makes the money. It’s theirs to distribute, and theirs to recollect to ensure everyone’s mutual survival.’”
That’s liberal logic for you.
Where do these people think all the wealth comes from? Doesn’t every citizen have a stake in America? Additionally, where do these folks believe they get the right to steal from their fellow citizens? I think everyone should pay a sales tax to support the necessary functions of a modestly sized govmt. No income taxes. None. Never. Everyone paying for the govmt will result in a modest govment. You can bet on that. Oh, and no stealing from your fellow citizens either!
