Not sure what's 'fair' about business taxes
CALLER: "This really bothers me that the big business is so controlling our very lives. Who is supposed to pay the taxes if they don’t? I mean if they don’t pay their fair share, the people on the top don’t pay their fair share, who’s gonna pay them?"
SEVERSON: "You know, the question which she ask, you know, who's going to pay those taxes...You know, there’s a couple things with that. One, well, what exactly do you mean by the word fair?"

Health insurance reform threatens liberty
Supports a challenge to health insurance reform
"It [health insurance reform], in my opinion, is unconstitutional. And, I don’t believe that the government would be able to run health care any better, in fact, I think they would do much worse than how things are right now."
