Tax-Payers For a Reach Around!
I think we need a non-profit with this name to lobby Congress. Since tax-payers are forking untold trillions to guarantee the accumulated wealth of Wall Street in the hands of that ever slender percentage, Health Care Reform should be funded by a new, progressive tax and the horrid mandate system scrapped altogether.

How is it we can spend literally trillions of dollars saving the wealthy, but when it comes to fundamental health care, the politicians scrambled to make sure they built it on the backs of the middle and working classes?

We deserve a reach around!

4. Just for future reference, that's what's called a "bone".
As in "they threw us a *bone* to get us off their backs."

And that quote is hardly a ringing endorsement. Really.
