Jack, this is the typical word parsing we see from the left. If they are worried about income gaps, they should be for Comprehensive Tax Reform that puts more money into taxpayer pockets. The Progressive dream of leveling the playing field on income is to make everyone equally poor. If people had more money to invest, they might actually save more for the retirement years. Social Security supposed to fill some gaps, but if it were privatized, a citizen could reap far more rewards.
Governments and Large Corporations would be smart to take heed of this advice. Consumer Spending fuels the economy, and nothing benefits the economy more than a financially-secure Middle Class. Don’t be fooled by those that continue to promote the failed strategy of cutting taxes. We need only to look at historical results of Tax Cuts that have been repeatedly implemented in US… they have only increased the concentration of wealth in the hands of the Rich, and destabilized the Middle-Class and left our Infrastructure and Public Schools under-funded.
Ronald Reagan seemed to have a lot of luck spurring the economy with his tax cuts back in the day. Liberals think you can grow an economy by raising taxes on hard working Americans. Liberals may have been dropped on their heads when they were a baby as well.
All of this ties back into one issue: The health of the American people.
What kind of people require more health insurance?
Unhealthy people.
What kind of people get disabled most?
Unhealthy people.
What kind of people tend to deplete their savings and 401K because they are pulling money out to pay for medical bills?
Unhealthy people.
Unhealthy people cannot properly support their families, earn an income, or live with a high quality of life.
Why are more people obese and unhealthy than ever before? Unhealthy Food Marketing toward adults and children causing people to not get sufficient nutrients and fiber from fruits and vegetables. In addition, the government has given tax breaks to companies selling meat and cheese making meat and cheese more affordable, but no programs are sponsored to advance the sale of fruits or vegetables in low-income areas.
As long as obesity rates are rising, and food companies have no restrictions on the type of products they can market, we will not be able to keep holding up this safety net for the mass of unhealthy people.
The saddest thing is that most obesity related illnesses are preventable, but people with unpreventable illnesses will suffer the most because they will be in competition with people, who would have been normally healthy, and their care will be undercut.
It’s a sad and devastating cycle, and like many of our current world issues, we knew about this dramatic shift in eating habits could result in unhealthy citizens a long time ago. Politics ignored the issue in favor of making companies rich.
Same old capitalistic story. Sweep it under the carpet until you wake up one morning and discover you’re living in a S**THOLE!
If I wrote this article, it would have been shorter:
Lower premiums, raise commissions and salaries.
