I'm trying to figure out why you're being downvoted. It's possible I'm ignorant. However, it was my understanding that for the average individual in the U.S. we do have some of the lowest tax-to-GDP in the world. This is, of course, offset by drastic cost-of-living increases making any percentage of a tax increase an actual and substantial barrier. That said, any tax increase should come out of the top 10%. Everyone else has been paying the price for far too long.
Because they think the government is the problem with healthcare, not for-profit corporations.
They go hand-in-hand
