Households with middle-incomes received $1.30 per tax dollar, and America's highest-earning households received $0.41. Government spending targeted at the lowest-earning 60 percent of U.S. households is larger than what they paid in federal, state and local taxes. In 2004, between $1.03 trillion and $1.53 trillion was redistributed downward from the two highest income quintiles to the three lowest income quintiles through government taxes and spending policy.The Gamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838768455546308652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14443165.post-37776684691380255352009-07-22T10:45:45.888-05:002009-07-22T10:45:45.888-05:00Psst, Bowden -- we're already bankrupt thanks ...Psst, Bowden -- we're already bankrupt thanks to unnecessary wars and absurd tax cuts for the top 0.01%.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14443165.post-10277742007450392512009-07-21T19:46:15.980-05:002009-07-21T19:46:15.980-05:00Let's not forget that Medicare right now is fi...Let's not forget that Medicare right now is financially insolvent.

The government is going to help the big guys bankrupt the little guys through various means, such as preventing smaller providers from taking new customers.<br /><br />Secondly, Obama and his posse of socialist Neanderthals are going to make it illegal for the government approved plans to price premiums on the basis of risk factors such as age or pre-existing conditions. They call this increasing competition. This will result in overprovision for the healthy and and underprovision for the sick, since the plans with greater specialization will lose money. For instance, I might pick the plan with lower deductibles until I get a catastrophic illness, and then switch to the specialized plan after the fact. Those who specialize are going to find themselves quickly losing money. As a result, instead of the status quo-- a lot of specialists and few general practitioners-- we're going to look more like Europe and Canada, where almost everyone is a general practitioner and no one is a specialist. This is why they have queues and lower survival rates for serious illness.jhbowdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377271992125388319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14443165.post-51974087252033436462009-07-21T17:55:15.877-05:002009-07-21T17:55:15.877-05:00Source?Source?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
