Cloward-Pivening the country in the name of multi-cultural, moral-relativist, globalist Communism is coming to an end
As usual when they BS their way into power (D) uses it to break what wasn't broken
Rip off taxpayers, diminish our country and the quality of life for all for the benefit of the upper 1% and 1-5% chunks of society divided by identity politics at the expense of the other 70%
Why should there be an estate tax of any kind when you've been paying taxes at escalating brackets all along?
I'm probably not going to pay an estate tax because I don't have an estate worth 5 million (not yet anyway). You need revenue to run the government, you apparently feel differently and I have no interest in trying to change your beliefs.
Republicans had no input into ACA. False. Both sides went back and forth debating it. They gave their input. They may not have crafted their bill to their liking, but there was input.
Premiums for normal people have doubled, tripled with deductibles also increased exponentially-for whom? For some people (not all), they have. Both sides have a responsibility to get together and get costs under control to the extent possible.
So preexisting condition people who mismanaged their lives (smoking, morbid obesity) can get underpriced coverage?
So kiddies who should be on their own can latch onto mommy and daddy until middle age?
So Medicaid leeches, especially the millions of illegals, can sponge even more?
Listen, I help middle class people plan for Medicaid. These are people that, like me, worked their entire lives, some served in the military, raised children, saved money and lived exemplary lives. You know what happens sometimes? You get old. Then your body starts to betray you because that's what happens when you get old. Sometimes alzheimers or dementia kicks in (I had a 50 year old client worth 7 figures with early onset dementia). Your family starts to take care of you for a while, but eventually they need help because its a hard job. Now you are in assisted living, spending 6k (sometimes double that) on your care. Pretty soon, your assets are done, but you are still alive and need care. This is when Medicaid kicks in. You want to decimate these peoples lives because of some people that take advantage of the system? No matter what system (governmental or private) you have, there will always be some people that take advantage of the system, that doesn't mean you throw the baby out with the bath water, you make common sense adjustments to the system.
Paris Climate Deal? It is to laugh.
"Climate change" aka weather is unmanageable and most if not all "scientific" data has been faked.
No need to pay billions that will be pissed away while China and India endlessly foul their own nests.
Yes, scientists are all in on a big conspiracy deal.
Retail will never die completely, but the shift you see is due to lots of factors.
Overbuilding of malls, Internet commerce, operating Margins of all kinds (wages, taxes, goods), business practices.
If it retailing needs control, which it doesn't, why didn't the previous regime in 8 years do anything about it?
a. No one ever said retailing needs "control", I identified a large section of the workforce that is being ignored because POTUS wants to focus on a relatively small group of people in the coal industry.
b. No one said retail will die (it's doing better than ever as an industry), but a lot of the jobs are dying.
c. For 8 years you probably said, how long is Obama going to keep blaming Bush, and now you are doing the same exact thing. The prior regime didn't address it, does that mean the current regime now gets a pass as well? Obama was far from perfect.
What of Amazon/Whole Foods? Is Whole Foods a store for all, with all types of goods and price points?
Whole Foods is not for everyone, but there is a pretty good chance that Shop Rite and other markets in that price range will start following suit at some point.
Medicaid fraud is rampant, even one of our Pravdas says so:
www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/happens-states-go-hunting-medicaid-fraud/
Fraud is rampant, but if you decrease the amount of funds available, how does that combat fraud. The same leechers that you described would still be milking the system, they would just be receiving less benefits (along with the people that legitimately need the benefits). You combat fraud by increasing the number of investigators and toughening the laws on Medicaid fraud.
Omg - I hate Whole Foods. The people that work there and the people who shop there. Worst people in America. I bet every single person who loves Whole Foods voted for shillary. Let's raise the tax on anyone who shops there and they can pay for entitlements for illegal aliens. In fact, they can also drive them around in their Prius and feed them kale burgers. F$&k Whole Foods! Yes, that's what I chose to focus on in your otherwise thought provoking response
