Or, take from the rich who can afford it, and pay for all the things society needs.

I don’t know that Nash is from Chicago; I very much doubt that he’s a Democrat.
I agree, media control is awfully helpful when controlling a population.

It’s easy to be a Decider; i.e. GW Bush.
UAW in fact has granted concessions for some time, and it appears they have granted more.

Then again, government exists because there were problems to solve, and government was seen as the solution. That was quite a while before RR.

Comment on Taxes vs. health insurance by edchilders

Busy busy.
The hospital charges me more because lots of people use them and don’t pay; the hospital charges me more because Medicare won’t give them what they want; the doctors charge me more because they have to carry malpractice insurance because they get sued for big bucks. The pharmaceutical companies charge me more because they have to spend millions upon millions of dollars on advertising to get people to buy drugs. Yow.

Interesting how we all took money from the system that polluted the Clark Fork. The miners, the lumber men that filled the demand, the railroad that carried supplies in and product out of Anaconda. The power company that owned the dam that stopped the pollutants.

Who had to pay for the cleanup?

We are lucky to get people to serve in our legislative system. The sad thing is how easily swayed many legislators have been by a little bit of money.

Take from the rich—they have earned it, give to the poor they have not.
