>We do not live in "should" land. We live in a country of laws and this is a question of freedom and are we going to have any. If so, one must allow citizens to make decisions with which we disagree. If we're to be free property rights, must be preserved because without them other rights are meaningless. We are already dangerously close to forced labor with the current laws regarding mandatory care in emergency rooms. I do not believe we've overstepped the line yet as the requirement is limited to emergency rooms and no one is forced to work there. However, should we mandate medical care to all, while dictating compensation for the provider, we will have further damaged our right to private property, namely our own labor and its fruit.

You can never own anything you cannot hide. Pay your house off, and think you own it. You don't . The government owns everything. Quit paying property taxes and you'll meet the real owners when they send in the jackboots to throw you out in the dirt. Pay taxes all your life, then the "owner" will allow you to parcel out some of your money to others, but your "partner" will take their cut too. George Harrison was right on target - Taxman!
