Obamacare remedy: flat tax

Never will I vote for anyone who takes our Constitution lightly because on it depends our freedom. I did not vote for President Obama, but there is a way for me to be indebted to him almost as much as to more endearing presidents.

Instead of continuing the relentless push to cement Obamacare into an unwelcoming society, a different, signature masterpiece needs to replace it. Something not only in keeping with freedom but which fosters it unto generations to come. The greatest respect would flow from every citizen and a memorial worthy of any man would be established. The tug of war it would entail would be capable of making a weak man strong.

Even presidents are not immune to mistakes. It's difficult to say, 'I was wrong” but that needs to be said about Obamacare which is all too encompassing for a free people; a people born into freedom and too stubborn to surrender to regulatory shackles, even if offered with good intentions.

There is a remedy - exchange Obamacare for a simplified tax code. A flat, fair or consumer tax. A man's power for good is so very short lived, what a shame to settle for a corrosive 'accomplishment” known and hated as much as Obamacare. Endless efforts will be made, when its full impact touches every American (after elections) to eliminate this burden, and with it will go the time allotted for creating a worthy legacy for a man who will have once occupied the White House.
