Stealin' from the rich? Nah..making them pay full rent for living in the penthouse. No more subsidized housing for them. "you want to steal from the middle class" Uh... "Cut out contractors, slash the military except salaries for the working men and women, the tax break on employer health coverage, take all the taxes back to Clinton, end Bush tax cuts > 250K, add bank tax, carbon tax, millionaire tax, take off entire SS cap. Had to go with the modified Simpson Bowles POS, but the Times still has a limit on SS cap, 90%, and I want to end it totally, so maybe that will do it. Creates a surplus, I did, I did. 293B surplus in 2015 Not many cuts to the people; not even farm subsidies. No change on SS ages. I'm so nice I didn't even means test SS." I've got a surplus to play with; I'm good with tax credits to the poor and middle to cover their carbon tax, but it wasn't an option in the Times' game. You can play Sherriff of Not in Ham yourself and steal from the 98% and give to the top 2, right here nytimes.com It's EZ..stuff like pushing SS back to 70 and then cutting bennies. Until then, quit projecting yer fantasies on my plan. "mere capacity to inflate the lungs entitles Citizen B to a substantial share in the laborious earnings of Citizen A." Ayn Rand? Was she a respiratory therapy teacher? How did she know that? If I may assume the role of Citizen B, that procedure is called either IPPB (treatment) or IPPV (being on a ventilator), and it pays OK. The poor Citizen A gets Med-i-cal, the rich Citizen A doesn't notice, and the middle class Citizen A, thanks to our new, sorta decent but not as comprehensive as yours HC plan, doesn't have quite the opportunity to go bankrupt that he had last year. The poor and the middle folks usually take the time to tell us thanks when they leave the hospital, tho. I guess the rich are always in too much a hurry to get back to making money to bother with the social amenities.
