55% increase in costs, thanks Obamacare

Profit isn't "available dollars to be made", it's actual dollars made, and that number is concrete. You're talking hypothetically, but wages and bonuses are determined by actual numbers.
"Evenly"? Where would you get such a dumb idea? I specifically said that when the CEO made 200 times as much as the workers, no one complained. We understand that capitalism rewards those who succeed, and that's how we want it. But this is capitalism run amok, when profits and bonuses and worker productivity all increase, but minimum wage remains flat for many years? When the middle class is shrinking, while megazillionaires are increasing?
We get that the people who run companies deserve a boatload of money, but they don't deserve so much of the profits that the people who do the actual work require food stamps to survive.

I looked at Obama's Premiums for health care, did so after a chest pain she had (cost 5K to be under a doughnet for 15 min).. My cost is 700 a month for the silver plan with a $5000 deductible. I can't afford that. Nor can I afford the 12k bill for feeling a little under the weather. **** Obama
You want to know when the last time the wage gap was as high as it is now?
Right before the great depression, unless the rich stop being so greedy, they are going to drive us into another depression, only this time its going to be worse as we have become so dependent on the system.
There is a point where prosperity becomes greed, and that line gets crossed way too often in todays world.
of course now I posted that...I get the notice my premiums are going up 90 bucks a month.....BUT still not 700$.....
Outrageous taxes aimed at keeping the People in their place so old money can remain in power is why we are broke. That and government programs like ObamaCare aimed at controlling us.
Government is the evil in charge.
Government is the evil in charge.
Government is not the evil in charge, they are only the tool being used against us by the "old money" you spoke about.
What is the only thing a man with power (money) want? More power
What will a man with power (money) do to keep it? Anything they have to do.
Maybe, but they are the one's who have the power to take it from us. Like ObamaCare, Welfare, Medicade, etc etc etc.
We are kept broke to keep the Kennedy's, Bush's and Kerry's in power.
Good point, the health care act is the biggest piece of wealth concentration legislation that has come from the government.
If anyone needs any proof that it was written by the insurance companies themselves one just has to look at Pelosi said, she was the one that said we were going to have to pass it to find out what was in it.
By the way, I refuse to call it Obamacare, he had nothing to do with that law other than signing his name to it.
But no worries, it will get repealed, when the insurance companies wrote that law, they figured that enough young healthy people would sign up and since that isn't happening, they are not making as much money as they thought they would. The GOP being so outspoken against it just makes it easier to correct their mistake.....

He was just the evil Marxist stooge that pushed it as his "PupperMaster" told him to do.

AND
For all you Marxist "gemmie goober" who want the US government to take total control of your health care, consider this:
The estimated percentage of American who are veterans is 13%. Do you REALLY think that since it is PROVEN beyond a shadow of a doubt that they cannot provide proper health care for a small percentage of 13% of the population, what in the name of pluperfect hell makes you thing they can provide proper health care for 100% of the entire population.
On top of that, do you REALLY believe that the Obama's, Clinton's, Kennedy's, Bush's, Romney's, Ford's and Buffet's, will REALLY have the same standard of health care that your are FORCED to take?
If so, what are you smoking? Cow pies?

I would fight. I would do neither willingly. Only cowards do as they are told or give up.
And if they threatened to go after your family? Remember, these greedy people will do whatever they need to do to keep their power. The president has a wife and children to think about, he is going to do as he is told.
I am a socialist so yes I believe in a national heath care system, and I agree with you that the system to take care of our vets is nothing more than a joke.
And no, the rich people will not have the same level of healthcare as we common folks, there will always be 2 levels of healthcare, one for us and one for them. Once the health care act is repealed, there will so few people who will be able to afford health care that what is left will only be able to support the rich.
Obama was bought and paid for, willingly.
Men of honor have been faced with their own death, and that of those they care for, since Mankind as existed. Some gave in, some did not. The more that give in, the longer the tyranny lives.
There is nothing new. Obama sold his soul for the power he coveted. He would have given his family up for that power. He is no different than those Africans that sold his ancestors into slavery.
There are many kinds of greed. Greed for power, greed for money are just two. Most in power today, including Obama, sold out for one, or both. He started selling out LONG before he was an adult. He was a cheap and easy purchase.
I am the son of a miner. My dad mined coal in PA and salt in Michigan. I have seen the scourge that is socialism. I saw what it did in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. I never met relatives I had in Poland due to what the socialists did. I know of the 20+ million they murdered in Eastern Europe. Not to mention that many, or more in Asia.
I spent 20 years fighting that evil. Working side by side with many who spent year trying to escape that evil. I will never give in.
I HATE socialism and EVERYTHING it stands for. It is the enemy of freedom and the idea tha Man excels when He lives under the idea that self-determination and personal responsibility serves His soul the best.
Socialism destroys the will of Man.
