I agree and in time this will become another socialist program similar to SS , medicare and medicaid. I didn't support any of these programs but was mandated to pay into them. Now all I can do is try to use up all that I was required to pay after working 45 years.Helping my fellow man should be my option and not the governments. The government has basic responsibilities and so does it's public. The more you give to the poor , the more they want. They now become dependants and not individuals. Although barrycare won't affect me unless/until IBM drops supplemental plan it will be interesting to watch as it starts to unroll/unravel. As to support for congress I want any congress critter to reject any program that increases taxes or supports people who don't want to improve their own/families lifestyle.

Let me educate you. Single payer is socialist. Obamacare is many things including a gift horse to the medical industry but it is far from socialist.

I haphazardly joined thinking we would have more about 401Ks "up in??'here"?? as they say on my street.????I have this little article??its a once upon a time story about an??IRS agent that lived to be 101.?? She survived the great depression and every investment??obstacle before her??and didn't need O'Bama care either.?? In a snap shot, bag your lunch wear your clothes until the last thread is wearable and save like mad and buy the stocks of the products you use and take the food from the Stockholders meetings.?? Her last two investments were Apple and MCI.?? She would have lost her ass on MCI??but??the estate would have grossed 75K on a 100 share Apple investment and that's because the system of Capitalism some times still works.?? If you can get a copy of the original article?? you can see her top 10 investments.??

This is my bible for investing.?? I am sharing this because I am a giver, and communists/socialist/progressives are takers.????
