Koch study: medicare for all saves money

[LV426]

Who told you that?

The Trump Administration:

“Reducing the statutory federal corporate tax rate from 35 to 20 percent would, the analysis below suggests, increase average household income in the United States by, very conservatively, $4,000 annually.”

And real wages have declined according to Payscale:

AFTER TAX CUTS, WAGES DECLINED IN 80 PERCENT OF INDUSTRIES
The latest data show that wages declined instead. The PayScale Index, which measures the change in wages for employed U.S. workers, updated last week and showed that wages declined 0.9 percent last quarter.
The earnings picture is worse when you take inflation into account. Real wages dropped 1.8 percent from Q1 to Q2 — the largest decline in seven years. Eighty percent of industries saw wages decline.
“The Q2 Index shows the benefits of recent changes to the tax policy are largely reaped by business owners, not employees. Many corporations are using the additional money to buy back stock rather than increase wages,” said Katie Bardaro, Vice President of Data Analytics and Chief Economist at PayScale, in a statement.

It wouldn't be affected because Medicare would expand. /QUOTE]

How do you know?

Of course the details are in the link in the OP which you claim to have read, but really haven't.

Where in the link in the OP do the "details" allegedly say Medicare won't be affected, exactly?

 

[LV426]

Can't answer, can you?

I don't feed sea-lions.

 

[LV426]

How do you know?

Because those are the details of the plan in the OP that you claimed to have read, but really didn't.

Find it yourself. I don't feed sea-lions.

The Trump Administration.

The Trump Administration told you that real wages have declined?

Real wages have declined according to Payscale.

According to Payscale.

So you don't know, because you never read the Mercatus study, as I suspected.

 

[Legion]

Making up evidence is nothing new for a social Alinskite. Its a means to and end....thus its justified.

They are amusing, though.

 

[LV426]

The Trump Administration told you that real wages have declined?

No, they promised wage increases of at least $4,000.

ccording to Payscale.

I know how much it upsets you that you have no link of your own to show wage growth.

 

[LV426]

So you don't know, because you never read the Mercatus study, as I suspected.

You're so weak that you've resorted to plagiarizing my posts because you lack the ability to craft responses of your own.

So lazy and so typical of Conservatism.

 

[Legion]

No, they promised wage increases of at least $4,000.

Yet that's not what you were asked, was it?

Real wages have declined for most workers, so full employment isn't putting the pressure on wages higher. Real wages for workers have declined post-Russia Tax Cut.

I know how much it upsets you that you have no link of your own to show wage growth.

You do? I made no claim about real wages declining, so what am I supposedly upset about?

 

[LV426]

Yet that's not what you were asked, was it?

Check the thread.

So you say. Cite the page and paragraph numbers in the Mercatus study that bolster your claims.

Upset that the Russia Tax Cut didn't deliver higher wages, even though that was the promise.

 

[Legion]

Check the thread.

I did, and I cited your post, and mine. Are you suffering from what I call "libnesia"?

I don't recall making such a statement.

You didn't follow the thread. You thought you could be clever by changing the context of my responses, but you couldn't even do that right.

Seems like you're a perpetual underachiever. Which makes sense since you're also Conservative.

 

[Legion]

I don't feed sea-lions.

You can't back up your claims, as I suspected.

So you say. You made a claim and failed to prove it.
