repubs are not getting the point across. americans are not getting the correct message. what you want to try with healthcare is free. its free to try. if it doesnt work then we can move on. but the point is that its freeeeee. you need to ask people if they trust what the fed does. if yes: ask them why the fed raises rates. basically to slow the economy. then ask them what the difference between raiseing rates and taxes is. they work the same. we are screwed the economy is getting worse cut taxes major while people have jobs. i am in the drycleaning buis. we get a good read on the economy. we are almost dead. its a clear sign of things to come. also you need to point out that this tax cut we got, we have to pay back. that is not take cut its a scam. what the hell is 10 dollars a week going to do. pay for 1 meal maybe. repubs are not doing a good job of letting people know the truth. your out their but your not saying the right message. also americans respond to pain or gain. so instead of the pain of taxes give people a gain. lets say medicare pays 1000.00 for an mri. and i can find one for 800. the gov would save 200 dollars. pay me half the savings. so 100 dollars. it will give people an incentive find a lower price. and the gov would save 100.00 you will have seniors calling all day long for price quotes. hospitals will be forced to post prices and compete. the gov would continue to save money as time and compitition kicked in.

Business owners in your universe must be very evil, spiteful people who sulk and take their marbles and go home at the slightest provocation. So I should tell you the story of Evo Morales, President of Bolivia, and his nationalising his country’s hydrocarbons from the western corporations. Now, if you are correct and they sulk and “go Galt”, none of these corporations would have signed contracts with Bolivia to help manage the nationalised gas fields and rake in profits, albeit fewer profits, then before. But lo and behold, they did sign these contracts. Amazing, isn’t it. The rich aren’t so evil after all!

As a person who works in large business, I see less jobs and more interest from the high-paid workers to move out. As an owner of a small business, I wonder why we keep trying…
