How on earth do you elect someone who wants you to pay 60% of your income to the IRS?

Truly. How would that happen?

After briefly perusing some tax statistics in America and England, it became immediately apparent that although a single payer, or universal healthcare system is a dream come true, the cost to the people all but ensures single payer is not in the near future; and no political revolution is going to change that fact.

Americans are not interested in paying significantly higher income taxes to have ‘government-provided’ healthcare.

Americans hate the IRS and paying taxes.
