We all want a level playing field, we don't have it this is why we are all pissed!!
In last 200 yrs there's a concentration of wealth and they buy today the govt they want.

The keys to a viable economic system is incentive and freedom. If people have incentive and the freedom to seek out what they want, they will be productive. Productivity and effective utilization of resources leads to a higher standard of living for the community at large.
As a self employed small business owner, why should I be forced to pay at least $8,000 in healthcare for myself when I don't want it? I would have to make about $14,000 pretax, less a small tax rebate, to come up with this money. For comparison, working at a minimum wage job full time at $8.00 per hour is $16,000 per year. Instead of potentially hiring someone to expand my business, I get to pay for healthcare insurance I don't want? Furthermore, if I did want to hire someone, I would have to pay for their healthcare as my employee as well. Can you see the disincentive to hiring that forced healthcare causes? When I consider this inflated expense relative to my net savings rate, the thought of forced healthcare insurance is depressing. When I blew out my ACL playing sand lot football, I went to a surgeon, got it fixed, and paid for it out of my own pocket. Now, due to the effect on pricing and service availability of Obamacare, my cost for the same surgery when up several times and my waiting time for surgery has at least tripled. When something is paid by someone else than the user, the demand for it goes up. Way up.
Overall the best outcome for a society is for individual responsibility and freedom of choice. Where an individual gets thoroughly screwed by fate, that is where family or our church groups can step in and help.
