Scott cites: ============= The average Canadian family pays about 48 percent of its income in taxes each year, ============= And, Scott, exactly how much tax does the average American pay? My son and I are covered by a group insurance plan provided by my employer, of which my employer pays 1/3. My wife is covered by her employee insurance plan, which suddenly increased by 25%. She shopped around for personal coverage, and inquired about coverage for the entire family. Every insurance company she asked said they wouldn't cover me (diabetes). She chose a BIG health insurance company for herself, but they doubled her premiums when they found out she was taking lipitor (statin for cholesterol). Our monthly health insurance payments are now more than our monthly mortgage payment. For us, health insurance is our single most expensive monthly expense, and that doesn't count the co-pays and deductibles we must pay before insurance kicks in. Oh, we live in the good-ol U.S. of A. -- "This president has destroyed the country, the economy, the relationship with the rest of the world. He's a monster in the White House. He should resign." - Hunter S. Thompson, speaking to an antiwar audience in 2003. |
