1992-2009, Individual Tax receipts, in constant dollars, went from about $700bn to $960bn. Your point?

(Total receipts, all taxes, went from $1.5Tn to $2.15Tn).

Oops!

If government-run health care holds such wondrous possibilities for the nation, why don't we all "invest" in this magical cure? Why only the rich?

President Barack Obama once promised to spread the wealth. How about spreading the responsibility, as well? Let the everyday citizen feel the cost of these gazillion-dollar legislative miracles.

The House's plan for health care reform is a good start. If passed, it would begin levying an extra tax on families earning $350,000 or more -- for the benefit of society, of course.

We can do better. Much better.

Don't misunderstand me; detesting the rich...
