I question the judgement of anyone who insists on mixing politics and charity.
Continuing to try is the very definition of insanity.
When you have 1 doctor for every thousand patients, one PA for every 450 patients and one person employed in the medical provider field for every 30 patients, you’ll never be able to provide anything other than timely bills.
18% of the entire economic output of the US is spent on heathcare. Compare that to all housing (13%) or federal non healthcare spending ( including education, entitlements and military) of 17%.
Dialing it back to the worldwide average of 10% would slash the US economy more than the subprime market crash and the dot com crash combined.
This is the real challenge and truly shows the genius of a limited government. When so many people depend on the bloated Healthcare system both as clients and for employment it will do only one thing, continue to grow until we return to constitutional limitations.
The healthcare industry wrote the bill?
I could of sworn it was written by that idiot susie powers hubby, Cass sunsteen - while he sat his a** in jail.
Then, polished by the jerkball Rahm’s brother Zeke - just wondering if I have it wrong.
So not changing existing tax rates one way or the other - neither increased nor decreased - is a "tax hike from the GOP." Please just stick to the facts...the reality is bad enough as it is without depicting it as even worse than it is.
If we can get rid of most of the rest of this law that will be well worth keeping in place if that is truly what it takes. Granted, there is not much reason for optimism given how 'well' things have gone so far.
All elected federal office holders, House, Senate, President, should be required by law to pay taxes at the highest assessed rate, irrespective of what they make and what they’re worth. No deductions! None. A few years of this and they will be lining up to pass legislation reducing taxes.
Only on investment income so if you have 200k in investment income then yes. The 0.9% is on all income though.
“Social Security is not an entitlement!!!!”
It is for those who haven’t paid into it but are receiving benefits (I’m not talking about spouses, dependents, or the disabled).
THE GOP CAN SMA!
THE GOP CAN SMA!
This means that Obamas giant welfare increase is still left partially standing. Historians will credit this Marxist Muslim pig as somehow a creator of benevolence.
Tax and Spend. Tax and Spend. A giant transfer of wealth. Have they learned nothing?
The GOPE governors should take the ObamaCare Death Pill and be gone forever.
Yes sir, the GOP has failed us yet again. Spineless politicians like these will bring about the end of this great Republic!
“It is not a tax hike.
Ripping $231 billion out of the private sector economy is pure B.S.
Address it for what it is”.
Right on!!
I disagree, we are screwing Clinton’s electorate. She overperformed in all the high income suburbs. Trump won big in working class suburbs and rural areas.
I’m sure Bannon is very happy about this development.
One of these days republicans will have the majority in the senate....
