Tithe to the Government and the Church

I think Wikipedia will have to update their page on tithing. They say, "A tithe (from Old English teogoþa "tenth") is a one-tenth part of something, paid as a (usually) voluntary contribution or as a tax or levy, usually to support a Jewish or Christian religious organization. Today, tithes (or tithing) are normally voluntary and paid in cash, cheques, or stocks, whereas historically tithes could be paid in kind, such as agricultural products." The United States has never collected a mandatory tithe on its citizens, under the principle of separation of church and state - until next year - IF Hillary Clinton is elected president!

Former President Bill Clinton recently said on the campaign trail that his wife was the only presidential candidate "helping" to get healthcare costs under control. The Clinton's claim that the Hillary Clinton's plan would cap health insurance premiums at 5 to 10 percent of Americans' income. How is that going to bring down cost? How is Hillary going to make sure I only Tithe to the health insurance company 10%? Where would 10% come from in the first place?

The healthcare reform experts note the average price of a family policy offered through the workplace is $12,000 a year. So to afford that type of coverage under Clinton, each of us would have to make a yearly wage of $120,000, on average. Would taxes would be raised to make up any shortfall or should Clinton's plan require more than 10 percent of one's income? I find it hard to believe Clinton's universal healthcare plan is the kind of healthcare reform Americans are talking about when we say we want the system to be "fixed." At least it is my choice to tithe to the church.
