3. And now go read "And then get angry"
Edited on Wed Apr-07-10 06:11 AM by RBitt
The corporations that aren't paying taxes, the loop holes that won't fund this type of program and the Democrats who hide behind the corporate paymasters.
You know, the level of acceptance for that kind of "me-first and screw the rest of you" is the core of the Reagan revolution, and Obama is not inclined to change that.Just imagine the single payer debate that really laid out whats at stake. I can sell single payer to the most conservative person, one on one. Imagine if Obama and theDems had said, You'll have the same exact plan as me, as my children, as my spouse? Or, and your car and homeowners insurance will go down? Or your property taxes will be less expensive? ( 1/3 school payroll budgets to health care). Whats good for the guy on the street gets ignored for what's good for the fat cats. The Democrats are different only in that they have some notion that what they do is actually wrong. Keillor is calling for a return to decent social responsibility, something this bunch might say is a good idea, but they deliver for the fat cats every time. Think first for the public and then for the private, it really is easy but money doesn't talk, it swears. my 2 cents
