precisely why I want this problem of large companies dumping their healthcare burden onto the taxpayers solved at a national level. the fact is that somebody ultimately has to pay. you're comfortable with corporations shunting off health care expense to the government...(read taxpayers) but of course we've seen with gray davis what happens when that occurs.... his solution... shunt the cost back to corporations (read taxpayers through higher prices...hello!!! got pricing power??? nope....) well here's a radical idea... let the consumer of health care be the one to pay for it. and if it is (as we tend to pay lipservice to) that we want universal health care... then let each individual fully deduct the cost of their health care expense on the tax return. that way the consumer has totally portability and complete control Do we get our money's worth with the 800mm in taxes that oracle pays, on a national level, maybe - on a state level- NO WAY. this exposes the silliness of your argument... AS IF the goal was for co's like oracle to paying 800 M in taxes has some kind of "value added" component. no... the states, the feds tax the oracles, intels, and you name it corporations BECAUSE THEY CAN... and then.... THEY decide how the money is wasted. most preferably boondagles or pork barrel spending to get the status quo re-elected. the rest of your post is so bizarre it doesn't even warrant a response. but trust me....i'm sure any of the other 49 other states will be more than happy to take the orcl's off of CA's hands (that is if india doesn't get them first) and i will sit here at a distance and i will marvel at how you are willing for politics sake to watch your state financially implode. amazing
