Re: Not exactly a reasonable comparison
@HildyJ
If the health system is something that concerns you then dont wait for the gov to sort it out (they got it into this mess) instead donate to a hospital or pay off some peoples medical bills or something. If you give the money to the gov to spend as the gov pleases they will do what they want, not what you want. They believe they can spend your money better than you and more tax will go the same way.
However you in your freedom to make a difference can do so. If it matters to you go ahead and do something. If your belief is that the gov should have more money give them more, they wont turn it down.
