Utopia?
Let us all praise a supreme being for Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders! Without them our lives would be in chaos. Here we have the architects of how we should live our lives and be thankful to our government for making the hard choices in our lives. They want to control our medical coverage, our wages and even our taxes! The way we would all pay to support those less fortunate by taxing the wealthiest people to pay for all those programs just warms my heart. They will supply health care that you can get supplemental payments for if you cannot afford to pay for the premiums. Everyone would make $15 per hour to help pay the taxes and still be above the poverty income level. Speaking of taxes, only 50 percent of your income would be needed unless you are rich, then you would have to pony up 80 to 90 percent of your income to help pay for the rest of us. You will no longer need free will. The government will decide just what you will need and provide for those needs. All you have to do is tell your representative you need. If you do not have a job avenues will be provided for you to get income from the government. Health care will be provided for you. All in all, this would be a utopia for the average man. … Not!
