    Long ago,an intelligent citizen noted:"The Power to tax is the power to destroy" Thanks to Michael Moore for exposing the real "reformer" that McCain is(NOT!) McCain is telling us: "Hey People!! Big Business is not a
    satisfied customer! They want their money back from these Gook Unions!! Cause by now you saps should know us as the Party of Big Business" "You've heard our slogans before."WHATEVER is good for Big Business is good for this Country cause the business of this Country IS Big Business" Since the world according to McCain
    can't have any intelligent people in it if they make less than $80,000.,then McCain says,thru Big Business'
    advocates like him,that Big Business should tax them
    until there are none left but the rich.You recall the
    bumper stickers saying: "If all guns are outlawed then only outlaws will have guns"? How about this? "If all
    Unions are taxed, then only Taxes(Big Money) will have
    the Unions" (and dumpsters to throw them into).That's
    McCain's idea of "reform" because to McCain America
    isn't a Country that should be of,by and for The People.
    To McCain it should be of,by,and for Big Business' Big Money.26 years of Big Business payola has bought McCain.Like his Puppet mentor Reagan said about the
    Panama Canal: "We bought him,we paid for him,we ought to keep him" Face it people,Big Business owns
    McCain. He's Property to them,which means you're
    only Property to him. Like Mr.Obama said "It's all about
    ownership""Otherwise,you're on your own" So in the
    meantime,invest in Wellness. Be very careful. Be very
    mindful allways. And avoid needing to use medical
    benefits.Because the world of labor McCain wants was
    in existence once- in the 1800s.Then,Big Business considered Unions as Communists and gunned their organizers down.Because to them we are Property.
    And like they said in the Dred Scott decision:Property
    can't own Property(money)

    This arguement is a false choice. Worker A and worker B both make $10 and hour. But worker A gets free health care benefits from his employer and worker B doesn't. Now both are taxed on the $10 wage alone even though worker A's job is more valuable due to that health care benefit that worker B doesn't get and has to pay out of his own pocket. The Unions don't want that benefit to be taxed, and of course, no one wants to be taxed. But you cannot argue for universal health care for all without addressing that inequity in the value of job A and job B. Do the union workers want the free market that made their jobs more valuable by giving them free benefits to decide, or do they want the government who is going to wipe out that added value by giving everyone that benefit to reign. You can't have it both ways.

    But of course Senator Obama doesn't want universal health care for all, that was Hillary. Senator Obama just wants to give it lip service and pander to whoever will listen to get their votes, agreeing with whomever he is talking to at the moment.

    Wow! Now THERE's a reputable source! Aahahahahahahaha!

    JohnA did you know that medical benefits are not income. If an employer does give out free med benefits they should be tax deductible for the employer. If an employer buys aspirin for their employees, no one says to tax that. 2nd: There is no free market. Stop spreading right-wing propaganda Mr. JohnA. Why does current allow right wing toadies here.
