Cop Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I posted it yesterday, 5% tax on gross income. We'll cap it at $10 mil income. You want to raise taxes by 5%? You want to penalize the 40% of people who pay federal tax to give it to the 60% who dont? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWarning Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 No idea. We aren't canada.Don't you think the US citizens have a right to affordable healthcare? We pay for everything else under the sun, but not investing in our own people. Something tells me your viewpoint would be different if you didn't have union benefits.

Cop Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid make up 77 percent, or more than three-fourths, of mandatory program spending in 2014 and have no budget limits. if that isn't investing in its own people.... I don't know what is. Let's just make it 110% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWarning Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 That is a legitimate problem.It's one that neither party wants to touch either. Then again, our elected officials have better insurance so it doesn't really affect them. All I can say Cop is I hope your family never gets a illness that gets flagged a pre-existing condition. It may get pricey down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude you make a million dollars a year. You could afford the best insurance plan in the world but you would rather the taxpayers subsidize you. That's the problem. Nobody wants to take personal responsibility for their healthcare. They would rather the taxpayers pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
