Can Your senator be recalled for working against the populations of Your states? The federal government has given itself the right to tax specific wages and items. Can states and localities in Your state itemize taxes on say...government-paid workers making over the average private sector job wage? How about taxing fees paid for grant writing?

Is not the purview of HCR inclusive of doing the public good? Cannot the public good of eminent domain eventually be wed to the proposition of health care public good?
