All I can say to you is this......get used to it.
That's why you always say when faced with questions you can't answer or facts that contradict your pre-conceived beliefs. It's a classic response to cognitive dissonance.
Let's hope for all our sakes that the powers that be have their brains and judgment in gear.
You might want to add a whole bunch of millionaires who pay no tax
I don't have to add them in. If they file tax returns but pay no tax, they're already in your 31%. Duh. Besides, being a millionaire doesn't convey any obligation to pay income tax. We pay income tax on income, not assets.
America will join the rest of the civilized world
Then we'd be joining them in an over-capacity lifeboat. How stupid do we have to be to do that willingly? What provokes such mindlessness? Best I can tell from my participation here, it's the need to be just like the cool kids, those civilized countries. We could lose our democracy because some of us haven't gotten over high school? How ignoble is that!
BTW, you had no comment about Medicaid being used to support med students, the handicapped, nursing homes, hospitals, clinics, and more..... no poor people included in these groups.
The reason I didn't comment was because your whole point is a red herring. It really doesn't matter to the issue of universal health care. You're just picking at some tangent because you have no traction on the real issues. In addition, I doubt your statement is accurate but don't want to invest the time it would take to demonstrate it, especially given that, in the end, you'd just go all cognitive-dissonant on me rather than accept that you were barking up yet another wrong tree.
Every governor in the country is pissed at the Bush plans to cut Medicaid payments to the states.
And this, unless you can demonstrate otherwise, is a total non sequitur. |
