I agree that the harder you work the more is taken from you. The middle class will always pay for the losers and the lazy, unfortunate but true. I was just trying to make a point against government health care by saying people in the US who are uninsured probably aren't really trying hard to be insured. I have already worked 2 jobs, worked 3rd shift, nights, weekends, you name it I did it to survive and get by. My family was always insured. I still work 10 to 12 hours a day, sometimes 16 so I can stay insured, have a house, vehicles and some toys. I know lazy people will never work two jobs, even one to keep insured. They will just take government handouts that we provide the money for. As for $3,000 real estate taxes, that is actually cheap. In my area you pay $2,500 for every $100k your house is worth. Absolutely ridiculous considering I live in an area where you have to drive at least 30 minutes to get to anything. (Grocery store, mall, shops, etc.)
