"Cross over into non-emergency medicine", seriously? Residency along will be at least another 3 years - and they have to pay their loans already. Also, can you guarantee that their new specialty would not be subject to the same problem? Oh, wait, I forgot - "they made bad, irresponsible choice", according to you.

" Let me know when licensed doctors have to start living on food stamps" - already happening. One of the links says that directly: "“Even some physicians have lost their jobs, a trend Merritt Hawkins has never witnessed in our 33-year history,” the staffing firm writes."

But you can keep saying that all these people made bad, irresponsible choices.

Then give up and move to China.

Mmm kinda hesitant. First when I signed up it asked me my current compensation. Secondly it’s asking me to pay a membership. I know you say it’s legit but after I lost money before on trying to make more I’m even more hesitant

You folks need to quit worrying about things you'll never have any part of.
But it does impact us. If you implement policies that are bad for business. Businesses move, offshore or automate. They also increase prices to offset higher taxes. All of those impact us negatively.

in case it hasn't been explained yet - are you trying to claim that property taxes are a wealth tax?

Property taxes are merely how most local governments get funded.

Rich people move and they take their businesses with them. Have you noticed the businesses leaving CA for TX lately?

Why "ultra millionaires?" Why not just "millionaires?" Is it because Warren and many of her friends fall into the latter category? Especially those who go into office and come out far, far wealthier?
