TAX TAX TAX and more TAX

[gandalf]

Whatever.

The Tea Party is sooooooo credible.

And actually, it’s the truth. Race is a big part of what’s happening with the GOP these days. It’s an articulated political strategy.

But back to the tax code discussion…

As a percentage of income / wealth gains, did you pay more or less tax than last year?

Do you support looking at VAT?

I don’t know if VAT is the answer. I’m pleased their looking at it.

[quote=SD] and even some of my own family in Canada came to the USA for medical procedures due to the length of time they had to wait for their own system to get them the procedure.

Seems to me like the Canadian health care is working.

Free health care doesn’t mean the best health care. But at least every Canadian has access to some minimum health care.

People who can afford to wait should wait. And people who can afford to pay for services should pay for them if they want the upgraded care.

Oh yeah, here’s another anecdote. A friend of mine here had fibroids and needed a hysterectomy. She had supposedly good health insurance. Anyway, she was bleeding a lot and felt really bad but she had to wait 6 months for the operation. The operation went well and now she is okay, but she was quite miserable for those 6 months. Yep in the good old USA.

Most Tea Partiers don’t know.
It’s the Joe-the-Plumber and Sarah Palin mentality, remember? The two of them are in bed together.

Considering a VAT doesn’t mean that it’ll happen. But I agree, it should be part of budgetary options.
