What other countried "do" isn't a benchmark that means anything and it never has been. Not for taxes, not for healthcare, not for business, not for education, not for welfare.
There's a reason that people from all over the world immigrate to the US... No other country in the world has more people that want to move there than we do. It seems to me that there are probably a couple billion people with residence envy.

Why should people not using the system pay as much into the system? It makes no sense and it is a mistake by the U.S. government to do what they are doing. And yes, we should look at what other countries are doing if we want to compete with those countries. If we discourage American companies abroad from hiring Americans, they are going to hire people from other countries. That takes money out of our economy and puts it elsewhere.
This is nothing less than a massive tax increase on people who use the least tax resources.
One important thing for all you GFY Republicans, don't ever say again that Republicans are for lower taxes when Republicans are the ones pushing for this tax increase - and many of you support it.
