Is that wrong? I am more than willing to give my opinion. I think they are both worthy of discussion and both are better than our current tax and hc systems.

Then give an opinion. Or are we supposed to follow your click bait?

Opinion?

The purple plan is a full order of socialism with an extra side of fascism tossed in for good measure.

Same result too.

I'm with Trapper: seems like we have a lot of lazy people that only exert themselves to start a thread and 'post a link', without giving any indication that they have actually read the link have any thoughts or understanding of the issue that is presented in said link.

Say, what is your opinion on the Switzerland constitution and how it applies to your link?

Okay here goes- was not being lazy was trying to get opinions without tainting the thread because I might come across as more liberal or conservative than another poster.

On HC I like the universal coverage and the recognition on preexisting condition or medical situation needing a higher voucher level. I agree with the ending of the tax break for employer hc costs and I like ending the other government plans. I think the cap to GDP is a good idea and needed to control costs.

On the tax plan I like the simplicity, the progressive nature and the transparency. I like the end of taxes on corporations.

On ss I like the fact that portions of the funds can get invested privately while keeping current beneficiaries whole.

I will print out and read the Swiss constitution. The first several pages are interesting.

As I said in the earlier thread I believe the Purple Plans are better than what we have now.

Well, your OP smells of one-hit-wonder and/or spam. I know it is not, but that is the feel.

Post a link, with a couple of lines, to give people an idea of the issue.....and add your brief comments.

More people would participate if they can get a quick and easy feel for the thread.
