Re: jesus and socialism
Taxes are not stealing.
Taxes, on this case we are talking about healthcare, are a way to pool the resources of the population which will return a maximized benefit to that same population. In the case of health care, if the population decides that itis in the interests of the population as a whole to have as many people recieve adequate medical care, then pooling resources is a great way to do so. As a Christian, ihappen to think universal health care is as good a goal as roads or bridges, and certainly as good a goal as killing tens of thousands of Iraqi citizens under the excuse thatwe are saving them from a tyrant dictator.
Universal Health Care is NOT stealing. It's fine for you to make that assertion but until you can provide some evidence, it is simply another unsupported claim.

Re: Preamble to the US Constitution.
Uh huh, "welfare" as in the sense of protection of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the general peace and prosperity of the nation,
Yes. Exactly, and if the general populace thinks that having a healty population contributes to the general peace and prosperity of the nation?
Are you saying that denying health care contributes to general prosperity?
