The Supreme Court’s Incentive to Keep American Dreams Alive

Why are we working? This is the first question, the people, who live in America should be asking ourselves. When our forefathers first came to this land they knew what they were working for. They were working to find their own place in this country, their freedom, their own religion, a home, a piece of land, and a dream. Throughout the years they accomplished what they had set out to do. Yes they had some problems getting there, but with the signing of the Deceleration of Independence and our Constitution they knew they had something solid to go by. That piece of paper gave all Americans their freedoms to live and work to achieve their own goals and dreams. Even with all the problems and wars they had back then, they held God above all else, their family second and their Country third. When England threw tax after tax at the people and they could no longer afford to pursue their dreams and goals, our country went to war. Much like today, all we are doing is working to pay yet another senseless tax. Yes that is what all this boils down too. Lets get serious here, if we could afford health and life insurance, with the weekly wages we make, doesn’t the government think we would have it already. Most of us have children, grandchildren, and family we want to take care of and provide for. With college becoming a dream that has quickly died for a large percent of the American people. Most of us now live in rental homes, make minimum wages, and barely live from paycheck to paycheck. We consider ourselves lucky if we can keep the electric, gas, and rent paid on a monthly basis. We no longer are able to afford the luxury of rental insurance, house insurance, car insurance, life or health insurance. Let alone a new car, new furniture, or even appliances. The government has now given us a choice we can spend money on food to keep us healthy or we can pay health insurance, and not eat, but if we do buy the food and forgo the health insurance, then we will be taxed for not buying the health insurance. I guess this could be a way to make sure the American people are no longer over weight. I guess it doesn’t cost as much for the government to bury starved corpse as it cost for health care if someone is on medicare. I guess I just figured they could always print up more money, it isn’t like they haven’t done it before, come August I’m sure it will be done again! I vote no more taxes, and if health insurance is so important to them that all American's have it, they can invest their wages to pay for the people's health insurance that is only making minimum wage. After all if they can grant all illegals amnesty then they should be able to pay our way as well.
