Cloning - with a smile

I believe it would be wonderful if I could clone myself fully formed and with all the same thoughts and feelings - man I could do so much. I clone all the time - its called propagation in the plant world - we cut off a stem, stick them down in perlite, water and soon roots follow creating a plant that looks exactly like the parent. Again, I tell you I wish I could clone myself with one caveat - I only want one SSN. Maybe if I could just have myself created as a robot that would be more acceptable to the rest of the world - smiles.

No one wants to pay taxes - no one wants to pay for insurance. The world has gotten so complex that we neeeeeed both. I don't know everything there is to know about taxes - I prepare my taxes and send them off - for two years the IRS sends me more than I expect - they don't tell me where I am missing my deduction they are adding to my tax forms. There then is sales taxes and property taxes and toll roads and taxes on buying cars and boats and fees for licenses to collect sales taxes. Still we pay less taxes than other countries who have naturally included more services because they collect more taxes.

Insurance is another necessary evil in our minds - necessary because we drive vehicles that don't stay on roads, live in houses that can burn down, do business where someone can get hurt and work at jobs so we can have benefits that pay if we get ill.

The site above is where you need to look regarding healthcare changes - don't listen to the TV stations and those talking heads - go read up about it. I used to assume I knew the answers because I heard it from someone who heard it from someone else. Insurance for everyone isn't the end of the USA - it might prevent the end of the USA. Here's what I was told - but look at it yourself. You children will stay on your insurance until they are 26, you cannot be dropped by any insurance company for any reason, your maximum payout will be removed - catastrophic illness will not take your home, people living at 133% of poverty level will be insured at no cost, people living between 133% and 400% will have coverage on a sliding scale with help from the government and those who have insurance will keep what they have. I am not crazy how much the insurance companies got to control - I am not crazy about corporate America. But surely you all agree that no child should lie at home with a severe fever and not get to a regular doctor until an emergency room visit and an out of control fever takes a kid because mom and dad can't afford insurance. Sometimes we need to change - maybe this will be a hell of a lot better than the talking heads are telling us.
