Koko78 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Interesting article on how to pay for 'Medicare for all': Quote CRFB outlined a variety of options. A 42% national sales tax (known as a valued-added tax) would generate about $3 trillion in revenue. ... Other options include a 32% payroll tax split between employers and workers or a 25% income surtax on everybody. Or, the government could cut 80% of spending on everything but health care, which would include highways, airports and the Pentagon. Or here’s a good one: Just borrow the money and quadruple Washington’s annual deficits. The best idea might be charging every enrollee in the new program $7,500 per year, so they’d be paying directly for the coverage they’re getting. Some people pay more than that now for health care, by purchasing insurance outright or sacrificing pay raises in exchange for employer coverage. It would still be a nifty trick to propose that to voters. The upside to these impossibly draconian scenarios is that nobody would pay anything for health care, except in the $7,500 example. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/the-democratic-plan-for-a-42-national-sales-tax-202549219.html The author also shreds the 'tax the wealthy to pay for it' nonsense. Well, let's see what vague and stupid idea Warren comes up with to pay for her platform. Edited October 29, 2019 by Koko78
B-Man Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 With the “Latest Polling Indicates Kamala Harris’ Campaign Has Cratered in Iowa,” Glenn warned last Sunday, “Iowans To Be Declared Racist Shortly.” And that time is at hand. But not just racist — sexist as well! As Ed Morrissey writes, “Kamala Harris: My failing campaign shows America’s not ready for a woman of color as president.” One also has to wonder at the long-range strategy behind tossing this race/gender card at Democratic voters. After all, Harris isn’t out campaigning for Republican votes at this stage. When she claims that “there is a lack of ability or difficulty in imagining” that a woman of color can be president, Harris is making that claim about the Democrats who are stampeding away from her candidacy and toward Warren, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and even Pete Buttigieg. Can Harris win a Democratic presidential primary by calling its voters racists and bigots? Almost certainly not, but it will be hilariously fun to watch her try. 1

Oh goody. Our chief liberal loon is here for the morning shift so he can explain why Harris is being eschewed by Democratic voters. Surely, Kamala has a point in that racism and sexism is holding her down.

I'll give this a try: Kamala coming off like an uncharismatic pandering moron, with a well-documented history of corruption, and no actual policy platform, is simply your white masculine privilege discriminating against her because she is a WoC. Therefore, the problem is not Kamala being a crap candidate with nothing going for her, the problem is entirely your skewed and racist perception of her, you racist misogynistic Nazi Fascist so-and-so. For further details into how this is all your fault, please read the book, "What Happened".

He writes this about Robert Francis: Quote O’Rourke is a woke, moronic bigot, who believes we live in a white-supremacist country, and would happily remove tax exemptions from most traditional churches, synagogues, and mosques, because they still believe in the literal teachings of the Bible or the Koran. Of all the candidates, he’s the only one I actively loathe. Castro is an open-borders globalist panderer dedicated to the vital cause of free abortions for transgender male illegal immigrants. All of them have staked out “left Twitter” positions on immigration, race, and “social justice” that make Obama seem like Steve Bannon in comparison. Nails it. 3 1
