Tax the rich for health care!

FINALLY! I would say tax those families that make over a million a year would probably be enough. Ramp the tax rate up for capital gains to 90 percent to pay for health care! As one of the infamous "public enemies" said when asked why he robs banks "that's where the money is." Well that's where the money is -- with the super-wealthy and corporate elite. Let them for once pay their "fair share" for something that the super-majority needs. -- terrie

across-the-board income tax on the wealthy.
