Here is the short-version of your Geo-Political Strategy as formulated by the Neo-Trotskyites....
You fly to Tripoli.
You rent a car.
You drive to Vladivostok via Cairo, Baghdad, Tabriz and Tashkent.
Along the way, you see nothing but US Flags, McDonald's and Starsux.
Does anyone else have a stupid question?
For those new to discussions it is what was known as a rhetorical question. Look it up.
My argument was for the problems. You are noting who is benefiting from them. All the same.
OK, what policies that exist actually cause these problems and give facts and not speculation. You didn't answer my question though, are you sure the rich didn't lobby for the laws to get passed or not get passed? Up until Obamacare, there was always talks of healthcare reform and it would never happen.

That's to be seen but the fact is it is the first great jobs report in a long time and I hope first of more of the same.

It didn't happen before because like Pelosi, Hillary took it behind closed doors for the lobbyists to get hold of it and people responded negatively just like in 2010.
Walmart and other companies have just shifted the cost of health care from their books to those of the taxpayer. People kicked off with go on Medicaid or on "free" care in the ER. The fix to this is, of course, universal tax supported health care where employers (business) will be required to pay a percentage of the costs.
That's propping the market and giving the rich power more than anything. Food prices were creeping up WELL BEFORE QE1 started.

So what about before, did lobbyists go in and try to change the healthcare bills or just crush them or get them stuck in committee hell?

Yep, shifting the cost from the rich to the middle class. But Obama spoke and the bots believed every word. Probably the same people who believed the banks. Thanks Bots!

If I sell a widget for $10 and you add a $1 tax, I'm now going to sell that widget for $11.
Corporate taxes are passed on to the consumer. Raising taxes on corporations, for all practical purposes, raising the cost of goods to you. You pay those corporate taxes.

Go off and see what qualifies for medicaid. They wouldn't have had Walmart insurance if they qualified for medicaid.
Then go off and read about Obamacare subsidies. It's a tax credit against their next year's income.
Then come back and comment.
Forget a tax supported universal plan. You wanted Obamacare and that is what you have.
You can certainly move to Vermont who plans to do that in 2017.
Be prepared for an additional 8-9% being taken from your paycheck as well as a new state tax.
