Your NC Tax Dollars
So, have you been wondering what your recently increased North Carolina tax dollars are being used for this week? How about
TV ads and "web tools" to "combat obesity?" That's what the "NC Health and Wellness Trust Fund" is spending over $127 million on.
Oh, but they claim it's because "Obesity is estimated to cost North Carolina taxpayers more than $2 billion annually in preventable health care costs."
You see, this is what happens when government insinuates itself into citizen's lives. If you allow government to provide your health care, then they can do literally anything in the name of "saving your tax dollars" -- including spending more money!
I've scanned my copy of the Consitution, and I know I have an old one, but I can't find anything in there that says the North Carolina government was established to ensure that no one gets sick and that everyone who does get sick will be provided any and all possible treatments for their sicknesses. It's wrong, plain and simple, for government to provide healthcare AT ALL.
Oh, how I yearn for freedom.

I hadn't thought of this. As soon as they start paying for health care (which I am not altogether opposed to) then a whole Pandora's Box of spending opportunities flips wide open in the name of saving money on health care.
Good post.

Ogre,
How come I can access your site only once a week? What's up with that?

That's why, KT, government should be involved in as little as possible!
And Butch, sorry about that, you must have had bad timing. The servers on which this site lies has been attacked numerous times by terrorists trying to bring down this site and others (okay, mostly others: The Jawa Report). The servers have been moved, then changed, and are in the process of being replaced. It does stay up MOST of the time, you must have just tried the few times it was down. Sorry.

Good deal! And yes, I have had trouble with the Jawa site as well.

The main servers are supposed to be replaced soon, and then a whole new operating system and blogging system have been promised "soon," so either it will be real good soon or, well, really broken...
