The Tax Bill: Pro-Life? Pro-Family?? Bullshit

You might further explain that increasing taxes in a democratic society almost always results in increased benefits to the tax payers.  By way of example, the highest tax rate here is 33% (effectively a smidge over 20%) and out-of-pocket medical cost for accidental injury is...nothing.
