But, I ask: Why do we need health care paid by the government in the U.S.?  Why do we need to spread the wealth around from the rich to the poor?  Why do we need so much government involvement in our lives?  Why do we need more restrictions in each and every industry that often just punish the law abiding and create more loopholes for the criminals?

Why?

I can’t answer that question.  Is it because “We the People” of the United States have decided by majority vote that we need these changes?  Or, is it because a large number of people want things to be amazingly easy, and since they became adults they realized that life was hard and they’d rather be a kid again?

So, again, Why here in America?

There’s another option: go to Canada.  Go to Britain.  Both speak English, and you can have universal health care.  Try another European country.  There are others that even offer a mandatory 4-6 weeks of paid vacation time, and health care.

Many talk about Health Care as a right.  I’d like to mention that I feel like I have a greater right to the money in my wallet than you do.  I worked for it.  I earned it.  Do you want me to dig into your wallet when I decide that I have a right to your money to pay for gas all because I have a basic right to get to work?

I just humbly ask that if you truly feel like you deserve universal health care, paid by the rich (and the middle class), then try another country that has it.  Yes, let’s reform our current system, but let me pay for my own health care and you for yours.  That’s what I want…a simple right to choose where I spend my money.  Do you want that right as well?
