I think Michael Moore is right on everything he stated and I keep seeing everybody throw up the taxes being raised. Well you know what, do we even know where our tax money is going now?
I agree, and would like to add another point.

I work as a private consultant, so I must provide my own health care. Because I am young and in good health, this costs me $70 a month. That's $840 a year. Other than the fact that it is not imposed upon me by the government, how is that not a tax? I would consider health care a needed expense by most people. Like housing or food.

Those of us who do have health care already pay for it, one way or another. Oh, and if we stopped spending $12B a month in Iraq, maybe, just maybe we might be able to fund some kind of nation health care. I of course do not advocate cutting needed funds by the military, maybe just giving Haliburton or Lockheed Martin a little less dough.
