How Government Limits Free Choice

A friend asked me today how President Obama would seek to limit a person's free choice and we didn't have much time to get into it. Well Friend, if you see this, this is how. By seeking seeking to tax or increase taxes on items that consumers willfully purchase will change consumers' spending habits. By creating "vice" taxes the government is essentially dictating to you what is good for you and what isn't regardless of your ability to assess risk and reward for yourself. The government further usurps individual responsibility and choice in a national health care system by limiting the services one can receive. The same goes for taxing private Health Savings Accounts. HSA's were conceived to give the individual more discretion in the services you wish to receive by letting the individual stockpile money in a secure location for the expressed purpose of receiving the care the individual desires. By taxing an individual's HSA to raise revenue for a
national health care system the government limits the individual's choice by depriving him of rightfully earned resources to spend as he chooses. The revenue raised is then distributed to others under the national health plan with limited services for the user to choose from. I'll gladly and respectfully field questions from those who disagree with my assessment.
