Deutsch's Health Care Prescription: 'Redistribute Income, Outlaw Tobacco'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/21/2009 4:22:26 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

In the grand scheme of things, Donny Deutsch's radical prescription for health care might not count for much. Just a former-ad-man-turned-pundit spouting off. But let's consider. Deutsch is well-off and presumably harbors no electoral ambitions. He is free to say whatever's on his mind. And he is immersed in the liberal media-political culture. Is Deutsch giving voice to the radicalism that Obama/Pelosi/Waxman harbor but dare not fully express?

Appearing on Morning Joe today, Deutsch offered a two-part plan for health care:

1. Make the rich pay for it: "I'm an extremist. I'm for redistribution of wealth." 2. "Outlaw tobacco."

I’d like to start by redistributing his wealth.
With a little luck maybe he’ll run into an Obama fan who helps himself to his wallet or car for starters...

Donnie probably just purchased a lot of shares in Nicorette.

Who is Donny Deutsch? Other than a bloomin' idiot, of course . . .

Has he made a start on redistribution by redistributing some of his own wealth? Redistributionists tend largely to be pretty tight-fisted, in my experience anyway!

When the tobacco tax money goes away it will be another excuse to tax someone or something else to “make up for lost revenue.”

Just where does the $100 billion health care cost of tobacco use come from? That bastion of capitalism the anti-tobacco University Of San Francisco School of Medicine funded by anti-tobacco Robert Wood Johnson Foundation with the information analyzed and released by the US gubmit anti-tobacco CDC on a computer program produced from a grant from the anti-tobacco Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. RWJFhold over $4 billion of stock of Johnson & Johnson Pharma which produces and sells quit smoking products such as nicoderm, nicoderm CQ and nicorete.
