Yes, that would save a lot. I would assume taxes would have to be raised more than that.

It is simple: Which would cost more
1. The tax increase
2. Health insurance premiums + deductibles + other health expenses we currently pay.

And a barely lucid Biden who can't tell you which state he's in at the moment.

Such winners. This truly might be a repeat of 1984 & 1972.




The only one in the bunch who has any common sense and a veteran to boot, the Democrats don't want because they are afraid of him being Gay. It's lunacy at it's worst.

Combine this with the DNC's open borders plan and your $1200 is going to get you 10 asprin and a flu shot. After that, start shopping for caskets unless you go to black market doctors.

Why should successful people pay for deadbeats? They are and never will be my problem.

Because a socialist system makes everyone equal by bring everyone down to the lowest level.

If everyone is getting the worst medical care, everyone is equal.

Middle class will become people making $10k a year. The dream of getting rid of the wealthy will be fulfilled.
