You hit on the problem back in the start of your last post. No one wants to pay for anything, but a lot of people want someone else to pay their way. That's why we fight this stuff. Not that we wouldn't like a good system that actually worked and was publicly funded, but because we have seen what happens every time we let the Feds, and often the States, take over a system. Doesn't matter what it is, highways, education, land use, whatever, the results always, always, ALWAYS end up costing many times the projected costs, are over regulated to the point that they become unworkable, end up conflicting with numerous other entities and never seem to work in the end. So why would so many of us willingly jump onto the band wagon for healthcare? We're the ones paying for it. Only 60-some % of our working age population works and 50% of those pay no effective Federal Income Tax. So you have about 30% of the population paying for the majority of the Federal programs. Well, actually we are paying the interest on the debt on the money borrowed to run the programs because 30% of the people footing the bill isn't near enough. So, short of tearing the whole system down and going socialist (the plan of the current regime and the left) all we can do is fight to retain what we have left.
As far as the election thing, yeah, it sickens me that so many of our pols use tax dollars to keep themselves in office. Sickens me more that so many of my fellow taxpayers can't see exactly what they are doing! That is the answer IMO- getting the taxpayer to see whats really going on.

Quite frankly, for some time now restorers like myself have become more and more concerned about the rapid increase in the prices of old farm machines here in England. There is now a growing market for "As found" machines. Which as machines get rarer, has found the birth of a new industry....one of the "procurement agent". These agents appropriate as much old machinery as possible then inflate prices at auctions. So at what price enthiusiasm? We are now seeing poor machines which 3 years ago ma
