A little history, see 501 (c)(4) in particular.

The nice thing about everything you post is that it is always totally false and you can't back any of it up one bit.

We started saying buh-bye to that when Reagan slashed the tax rate and corporations started heaping huge salaries and bonuses on upper management/CEO's because they could now keep most of it instead of having to pay it to the government. Before they started giving it to themselves, they reinvested most of it into the companies and paying employees decent living wages.

Oh BTW all they did was replace Kaiser, Aetna, US Healthcare with government as the insurer - nothing else was changed. Sure we do research here - now they can cure you of Hepatitus C for a mere $100,000.00. And all it cost was a 0.8% tax on my taxable income and $54 per month for the whole family. Here the medical tax on income is at least 0.8% if not higher. Geez what a maroon.
I love it when Americans tell horror stories of Canadians on waiting lists for surgery.

Two years ago, I waited nearly two months for a hernia operation. A co-worker recently had to wait even longer for a rotator cuff operation.

So, what's the point?

Mindlessly repeating Rush/Fox, their only source of news.

Elbows flying, rhetorically, at Romney's 2016 retreat

Quote:
PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Govs. Scott Walker and Chris Christie said presidential rivals in the Senate don't do anything. Sen. Marco Rubio denounced "old ways" in an indirect slap at older contenders. Sen. Lindsey Graham said his party may be going down a "death spiral" if it doesn't embrace minority and younger voters.
The fun has begun officially it seems.

Just missed it, flew out of SLC on the 10th. Odd venue, thot Park City was progressive. Provo would have been appropriate, bring your own rotten eggs.
