Videogame "Fat Tax"

[Undertow]

Free health care and welfare does close the rich/poor gap a lot.

F-f-free health care? Lol, nope...I doubt our gov't would give us free health care even if a 'fat tax' was imposed...they'd rather supply the fine citizens of Iraq with that. Our money to help the poor is spent on welfare, which people from other countries heavily take advantage of. It would be fine to help the poor, but our gov't sets the system up so it's incredily easy to take adavantage of and to abuse. People in Cali could drive up in their convertables and suck up a welfare check if they wanted, a couple from mexico could run the boarder and have a child in the US and become official citizens...which means they can bring the rest of their family over. My mother deals with people in the hospitol she works at all the times with people who come over here for the free benifits, and are even too lazy to learn English. I could tell you a few horror stories, but I don't remember them too well right now.

25%?? Boo-hoo. Try 40 in Canada.

Yes, but we also have to pay for our own health care, and other benifits our gov't don't supply us. It also costs much more to live here, in comparison to Canada and southern states. Hell, the only way i'm going in to college is if I go into the military or take out some huge loan.
