Greed is good, eh? Everything is fine so long as taxes are none-existent for myself and others are suffering at my benefit. You understand that there's some benefit to the general public interest with public medical care? For instance, healthy workers are productive and can give even bigger returns to the owners. Some diseases are contageous if untreated can spread to wealthy fat cats (such as presumably yourself). Here in Canada, business owners don't have to pay for expensive private health care. Public health insurance is 1/2 the cost of the private equivalent in the States. You also would presumably talk about the USA as being a land of opportunity. Well there are no opportunities for the sick working poor if their children can't afford education because of medical bills. You should THINK about the overall benefit rather than the tax cost (I presume you're aiming for 0 taxes).
