Meet Bob. Like many hard-working, responsible Americans, Bob has a good private health care plan. Bob never worries about getting sick, because he knows he's taken care of. Bob doesn't want the government getting in between him and his doctors, making decisions about his health care.

Today at work, Bob started feeling ill. Luckily for Bob, it wasn't a work-related sickness, because some government bureaucrat got in between Bob and his employer and made sure Bob had safe working conditions. "It's probably just a cold," Bob thought to himself. After work, Bob got in his car and drove to the doctor's office. Luckily for Bob, his car didn't blow up or break down on the way because some government bureaucrat got in between Bob and the automaker, demanding safety standards. And when Bob got on the Interstate to save some time, it was a good thing some government bureaucrat had meddled with the free market and ensured it was there to be used. Bob didn't notice any of this, though. He wasn't feeling well.

Howdy, this is my first diary on Dkos, although I am a veteran of other progressive communities under different screen names.

As for this screen name, you can find a brief description of what it means at my Isonomics blog:

The root of the term is "isonomic," which means equal. Isonomics is intended as a term for political and economic theory which holds that reasonably-applied egalitarian values are most beneficial to a society, as demonstrated in the Scandinavian model.

And here is what I stand for, in a few quick points:

* 1. Restore Progressive Taxation
* 2. Guaranteed Minimum Income
* 3. Free Health Care & Education

I look forward to meeting you all and participating in interesting discussions.

Obama 08!
