*"most everything else is including our record wealth disparity and policies geared towards the investing class instead of labor!!!!!"- Message 30221269 "Changed my strategy slightly as am going to start selling the RE before this cycle ends and hope to be mostly out in 4-5 years BTW."* - Message 30221301 Having convinced yourself that investors are the demons who have caused all of America's ills, I can well understand why you want to sell all of your investment real estate before this cycle ends. Why continue being one of the villains you blame? There's no better time to hire an image consultant and reimagine yourself as a common laborer, salt of the Earth. Good for you.

John, spending on health care is not a bad way to keep people employed. When technology does away with whole groups of workers such as coal miners and soon truck drivers and agricultural workers, the work has to go somewhere. When technology does away the jobs of those workers their cost to society is pretty much free. The cost of the product they were producing falls and the money society keeps can go somewhere else. Unlike that silly clunkers for cash give away where the money went straight overseas, almost all health care spending is in country salaries and in country products. Little oil use and little pollution. The interesting thing is I pay almost 45% of my private practice consulting income directly back to the Federal Government and State in taxes. That 275K is not near that costly to the government. The money I kept in the last year from that private practice (I have another job) went mostly to help my daughter make a down payment on a house and two boys in college. Most of that went into others salaries and the cascade of taxes probably reduces that 275K to 50 K. Very little health care spending goes overseas as far as I can tell. I would love to see the SS tax eliminated and made into a 7.5% VAT .It would motivate people to work, leave low income workers beter off and collect a lot more from those who are wealthy

Obesity and diabetes is the problem. I went for my annual physical 2 weeks ago. The entire work force of the hospital averaged 50 lbs overweight. The patient population averaged 75lbs overweight. This country is f`arked on health care alone.

I heard your loud applause tonight when Donald Trump told the Republican Debate that "Wages are too high." And how that crowd of Republicans hooted and applauded him! As you've said the entire system is rigged against the investor class to cater to labor!!!!!! That's you taking another one of your victory-laps as you applaud the destruction of the Middle Class in America. Good job, John. Keep voting Republican.
