What Taxing the Rich Could Yield

Frankie you are getting very personal now. But, if you really want to know ask your and montgomery's wife

Changing a quote is done by assholes...which you are.

And assholes are the ones who brag about dick size.

So...you supporting Donald Trump is an asshole supporting an asshole.
 
Revenue is definitely the problem. Until we get enough revenue to start to pay down the debt our expenditures will become consumed by interest payments.

In 2017 the interest on US Treasuries was less than 80% of what we pay for the military. By 2020, it will be almost 93% of what we pay for military. By 2025 interest on Treasuries is projected to be 113% of what we pay for the military. Eventually, the interest payments will take up all the budget and we won't have any money for the military. From 2017 to 2020 our interest payments will have increased by 40%. That is unsustainable.

We need to increase our general tax revenues by about 3% of GDP. The only way to do that is by raising the income tax rates.

About 25% of the debt is money the government owes to itself so no it is not a revenue problem. We can print our way out of debt if we really wanted.

Was one of your New Year's resolutions, "I am going to prove beyond a shadow of doubt...how moronic I am?"
 
Make it the top 1%, and confiscate the lot - that should see off the national debt entirely and allow you to have a decent health service like other people.

No, it would not even come close to paying off the national debt.

We have one of the best, if not the best, healthcare systems in the world. We can certainly make it better. We can improve the FDA process on generics. We can stop renewing patents for minor tweaks. We can stop the litigious nature of our society that runs up costs and thus insurance costs as well.

How in the name of all that exists...can you possibly assert that WE "have one of the best, if not the best, healthcare systems in the world" when it is obvious by almost every metric that we, by far the richest nation on the planet, have a system that ranks us beneath almost 30 other nations?

What on Earth are you thinking about? What possible standard of measure are you using for this fiction?

Because what they measure has nothing to do with actual healthcare delivered and dumb fucks like you don’t know any better

Now if you look at ACTUAL treatment outcomes in things like cancer, the US does better than the rest of the world.

How we pay for our healthcare is fucked up, but we need less gobblement involvement not more.

We need more free markets in healthcare. But I don’t expect dumb fucks like you to understand.

Hopefully you will get melanoma soon and die
 
The wealthy have had their taxes slashed over and over since Eisenhower was president. They have had many decades of contributing less and less to the government coffers. Corporations have had the same kind of breaks given. You cannot judge the impact of raising taxes back to reasonable levels for a year. The impact would accummulate over decades. We should be doing it immediately. It would be a huge help to lowering the debt.
We should also have nationalized medicine. We could cap it at 10 percent like other countries do. That would save us 8 percent every year.

don't embarrass yourself, Frank,
ask anyone in need of serious healthcare which country they prefer to go to for treatment.

If you speak of cost, access, or administration of, clarify. otherwise stop with the non-sense our healthcare isn't the best

and on topic, taxing the rich until they had nothing left, would accomplish nothing except promote your wish toward socialism

Hey, you stupid motherfucker...how ya doin'?

Really!

Under 5 age mortality rates: US ranks 31 out of 35 top nations.

Only 4 countries have a higher cancer per capita than the US.

We are above average for respiratory disease deaths.

Over 50 countries have a lower percentage of deaths by heart disease.

I could go on...but no need. You are completely full of shit.




How we pay for our healthcare is fucked up, but we need less gobblement involvement not more.

A huge part of the problem are assholes like you who do not realize that government being MORE involved is the only way to improve things.

We need more free markets in healthcare. But I don’t expect dumb fucks like you to understand.

Fucking asshole jerkoffs like you are unwilling to see that nations that have much better healthcare and healthcare statistics are ones that HAVE MUCH HIGHER government involvement.

Your political philosophy is a big part of the reason you are such a moron on this issue.

Hopefully you will get melanoma soon and die

Fuck you, you piece of shit. I've already survived cancer...with its chemo and radiation.

We are not even close to being one of the best for healthcare, Getin.

NOT EVEN CLOSE.

These are countries considered to have better healthcare:

United Kingdom
Switzerland
Sweden
Australia
Germany
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
France
Canada
 
whatever you say Frank,

All I did was talk about statistics...the kind published and disseminated.

I understand for the rightwing of America...those kinds of things don't matter. They want gut feelings instead.
you get a serious disease, run on over to New Zealand and let me know how that works out for ya

I HAD a serious disease, Getin.

CANCER.

I went to the VA...because that was where I was getting my healthcare.

They did a good job. Back when it happened...in 1996...they spoke in terms of 5 years survival.

This is 23 years later.

But the statistics I cited are accurate.

We spend MUCH more per capita on healthcare than any other country...

...and we rank nowhere near the top in results.

God Bless you, a survivor.

You are not going to convince though that I would leave this country for treatment
