You or your neighbor is having a difficult time right now financially. Do you have the right to knock on that millionaires door and demand a check for a thousand dollars at gun point. Of course you don't and wouldn't, the analogy is ridiculous.

However, that "gun" is the IRS and you support in proxy politicians doing that very same thing in your name with money that doesn't belong to you or them in the name of health care and fairness. After health care it will be in the name of something else, and something else and something else.

It's not fair that some can afford car insurance and others can't, it's not fair that some can afford life insurance to protect their family and others can't, it's not fair some can afford to own a car and other's can't. It's not fair that some can afford to own a house and other's can't. It's not fair that some can have their teeth fixed and other's can't, it's not fair that some can pay their heating bill and other's can't, it's not fair some have a job and others don't, it's not fair some make 100k a year and others only make 30k, it's not fair some can afford to live in The Villages and others can't, not fair, not fair, not fair.

Guess what, life isn't fair and you CAN'T make it fair no matter how much money you forcibly take from one and give to another. The only one's who benefit in the end are politicians. Government programs don't make things fair, they only make the government larger.

It's time more people figure that out... maybe, just maybe they are starting to.
Hear Hear!!! Milton Friedman to it's core!
