I did not know about Florida having no income tax. However, the "rich" don't pay taxes in America. I won't get into details, but several corporations actually receive a 5% tax Credit. The credit is for being a "major employer". Their idea is that putting money back into corporations somehow allows them to hire more people. It doesn't. It allows them to expand business and in-turn reduce overall costs. If you have a machine that can do the job of 20 employees, you just saved several thousand per year. This is why most manufacturing jobs have decreased by at least 40% in the last 10 years. I've worked in the IT departments for many different manufactures and have seen it across the board. Intel is one of them, yet they claim they are hiring more employees.
You sir are the dumbest dumbfuck I have encountered on this here fucktard of a fucksite. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/boink.gif.91933e72f927f2cefc79aff02573090c.gif
I love this, such a typical reply from you. Its truly amazing how confident you are of your opinions.
Wow, what amazing insight! lol You're a real deep thinker. I never thought about how all us insurance carrying people have to pay for all those non-insured people! Just like I never thought about how so many of them are illegal immigrants who basically get free health care on our dime. But of course liberals only want to use the 'us insured people pay for non insured people' when it comes to talking about socialized medicine, not when it comes time to talk about reforming our immigration policies. Its also ironic Ive mentioned the Howard interview on TDS like 50 thousand times to you, but you refuse to discuss it, even though Mr. Howard discussed the topic of inflated health care costs thanks to our govt's hack 'n slash policies on health care oversight. Nope, liberals only want to talk about being fair to tax payers with health care when it comes to defending their ideology.
Yes, I know. In your world, everything you say and think is 'fact'. You dont need to repeat yourself for me to recognize your arrogance.
That's a very deep topic, isn't it? Frankly, I dont have all the answers. But one thing I know for sure is, legislation that is so complex, lengthy, and convoluted that even the law makers dont understand it before voting yay or nay, is not the answer. We need a program that is as simple, concise, and sensible as possible. Im not even close to feeling that way about the current bill. And neither are the majority of Americans, including liberals.
Score!
That's how insurance works. If we only expect the sick people to pay, that';s not insurance, that's direct-pay. Your argument seems to be against insurance of any sort, not just health insurance. The same could applied to car insurance... all the safe drivers pay for all the careless ones.
If you want a simple answer, then you have socialized healthcare. That is simple. I'll respond more thoroughly in a few days when I have more time.
Hey, we said the same thing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
I designed/built automated machinery at various companies for almost 2 decades. Automation is not the major factor in our unemployment rate. Sure it affects it somewhat, but there is a plus side to automation... cheaper products. Automation, for the most part, removes relatively low paid, low skilled, repetitive jobs. This would be a god thing if we had an economy that was healthy and requiring higher skilled, educated employees. But we dont have that healthy economy. Automation has been 'taking jobs' since the industrial revolution. Why is it just now becoming a negative impact on society?
Whatever keeps your ego afloat bud.
I agree with everything except one. Our society, physically and logistically, relies on individual transportation. Not everyone can take the bus to work. And many who can, cant afford the extra hour or three it costs them in 'down time' with family/personal life. I certainly couldnt drive my scooter to work this time of year. Taxis? That would simply be a pay decrease, if that's our daily transport to work. And people who live in rural areas, work in rural areas, or work odd/non-uniform hours cant count on the bus to get them to work 24/7/365. Our entire infrastructure is based around individual transport. I agree its not a perfect parallel to health insurance, but its not so far off as you suggest. But like I said, I agree with every other point you make.
