| halogamer1989 said: It will never fly with the Progressive Caucus pulling Pelosi and Obama's strings. The Dems don't understand competition and basic econ. Private corps against the govt option = government advantage b/c they can print $$$. Small bizs who provide healthcare will put ppl on the g.o. because it will add to the bottom line. Medium sized small bizs who provide great private healthcare will be hit with the 8% payroll tax for the new hires that aren't yet covered forcing layoffs adding to unemployment. "Compassion bills" don't usually end up matching reality. You can see that with the history of the income tax under Roosevelt (only 1% tax we promise!), the Great Society under Johnson, and all the rest of the AA BS including the disastrous CRA. |
Democrats don't understand competition and basic economics? Seriously? So is this a basic rule that all Democrats must obey by or something? I bet you think all Democrats are "filthy pinky commies" too. Just because it's different to your economic philosophy doesn't mean it's wrong. Of course they understand economics, they understand it just as well as any Republican does, they just have a different take on it to you, it doesn't mean they don't understand it.
I don't support either the Democrats or Republicans, I think they are both very bad parties, quite frankly the USA needs a third party. But I often side with the Democrats over the Republicans simply because the hardcore Republicans can be so condesending to them at times, like this statement was. Even your sigs condesending.
