Wages Are Too Small A Donkey To Carry The Load Of Health Care Costs
In 9 years - at our current rate of rising Health Care Costs - the average load to a Non-Elderly American family will consume 4o% of that family's pre-tax income. 40% of Joe & Jane's dollar, just to keep Breathing, Will bring America's - and the World's - Economy to its knees.
Tax The Rich: They'll pay the funding shortfall.
Congress just Screwed the American People for $700 Billion to Bail out a Cartel of International Bankers. Taxing the Rich means: "Make it look good on the front page, ..... for the "little people", .....
The Shareholder Stake.
Corporations Pass Through whatever taxes they get hit with by Adding those Taxes onto the price of their product: be it Drugs or Automobiles, and the end consumer pays "Tax the Rich" Corporate tax pass throughs.
If Corporations actually Paid those Tax increases out of their profits, - Thereby Diminishing Shareholder Return - the Shareholders would Replace the Directors or pull their Money Out. Should Congress actually close every tax loophole to squeeze those profits out of corporations, ..... those corporations will lay everyone off, and move manufacturing to Communist China. Heparin memories?
In 1990 we passed a luxury tax on yachts, jewelry, etc. The result was a net Loss of (at least) $7.6 Million in tax revenues, because people stopped buying those items. You might also revisit NY city's 50 year obsession with cutting its revenues off to spite its smokers. Higher taxes yield higher unemployment, which yields higher crime, more depression, and a perceived Need, .... for More taxes, to fund More 'depression' research and services. At cleanairquality.blogspot.com you can view Govt/Industry colluding economic damage (from a Non-Smoker) which social engineering smoking bans and their funders occasion.
We need a reappraisal of Non-Profits, if we're going to avert this Global economic collapse. Dr. Michael Friedman takes $1,086,092.00 in compensation from the "City Of Hope" Cancer Klatch. (backstory) And $346,263.00 of that was a Bonus, for Being Non-Profitable. Those numbers Alone are a Screaming Billboard that the "City Of Hope" is anything But Non-Profitable.
And what's this "Hope" thing? This is Not the City of "Cure", ..... any more than Psychiatry has any Cures, ...... beyond Jack and his Drug Money.

If Psychiatry with its Ideations and Catastrophic Illness producing 'medications' to treat, Red Queen Decreed 'Disorders', ..... is such a 'Gotta have It or the World will End', benefit, ..... Why, ..... are State Attorneys General all over America, ..... going after the Psych Drug Makers in Court, ..... for $Hundreds of Millions? (sidebar) And that's just the Tip of this disaster, which doesn't Begin to address the physical suffering these poisons are causing.
But "Hope" remains, ..... for a cure, .... for 'Mental Illness', And "Research must continue."
Pharmaceutical Industry Hustlers Pt I:
"Shrinks on the take are so addicted to industry money that it's impossible to embarrass them. Last year, the press ran major stories when this report came out, highly critical of how much money they were making. This year, the average amount rose by 25%."
And channeled through One source or another, that money overwhelmingly comes out of taxes.
"There has never yet been a nation that has taxed itself into prosperity."
Winston Churchill
There has never yet been a nation that has Brain Damaged itself into 'Mental Health.'
Here, we have a Green Psychiatrist Diagnosing the Stock Market as Manic Depressive/Bipolar. But: the root culprit remains. That $700 Billion Blowout/Market Mess is Properly Diagnosed as the Federal Reserve printing All of us a Super Inflated Raspberry.
Psychiatry Itself Could Not Exist, without the Fed issuing junk paper to Fund Psych/Pharma's Junk Science Clamor (backstory) for Single Payer, Govt Issued, Health Care, ..... and, We can't tell you how gratifying it was that NIH stepped up, FINALLY, (WSJ) and suspended the $9.3 Million TAX FUNDED Research grant Dr. Nemeroff was milking. And our own "Hope" remains, ..... that NIH will red-line a Whole lot More of those TAX WASTING grants, ..... Yesterday.
