Here is a regressive blogger (virulently anti-teacher, anti-labor union, anti minimum-wage libertarian) who says in his recent blog that the rich pay "all" taxes including SS and Medicare taxes!

Please help me repudiate this guy's nonsense. I have been criticizing him for such a long time that he has permanently banished me from posting any comments on his blogs!

A few more details after the fold.

Have you noticed the new trend among regressives regarding healthcare? Having lied for decades that America has the "best healthcare system" in the world, they have now begun a new lie - that the American system is not "really" a free-market system and that if only we had a free-market system and it was allowed to work, things would become oh-so-wonderful.

As if the unfettered capitalism that is the US health insurance system, was not really "allowed" to work for the benefit of the people! By who? By the government, of course!

Which is why when an anti-Obamacare friend forwarded me yet another Forbes article on free-market healthcare and how Singapore has it while the US doesn't, I wrote the following response...

It is great to see the stupendous effort put forth by so many folks here and elsewhere to stop the misguided Obama-McConnell tax deal. But even though we have to fight the good fight regarding the deal, not give up hope and all that, unfortunately, I think it will ultimately pass both the House and the Senate. And the longer term implications of it will be really terrible for the country as well as for the Democratic Party.

Here's how...

The next time a middle-class parent who is/was supportive of George W Bush, expresses opposition to Obama, show them these two quotes and ask them who understands middle-class parents better - GW Bush or Obama.

I am one of those who has followed the HCR news reasonably closely (enough to have a Dkos account, a few posts on HC and a .sig about healthcare) and yet, I have no idea of what's really left after all the wheeling and dealing in the House and the Senate..

The Democrats are in deep doo-doo now as a result of their failure to kick out Liebercrap at the start of this year. If they don't pass something called a health-care bill, then they will be perceived as having failed to do anything, despite having 60 Senators and nearly 275 Congressmen PLUS the White House.

But if they do pass a bill, they are in a mess too. Currently, it is the Highly Watered Down Health-care Bill. But it will soon become the Incredibly Watered Down Health-care Bill, after the Landrieus, the Lincolns and the Nelsons of the Senate are done with it.

How I got a wingnut to admit that Rep. Grayson is correct about the Regressives' health care plan -

"Don't get sick"

"If you do get sick..."

"... die quickly"

Excerpted rom the ABC article titled "Public Option : It's Back"

"The downside: The move would almost certainly cost Democrats the support of Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME), the sole Republican who now supports Democratic health care reform efforts. Asked today if she would vote to block a bill with public option, Snowe told reporters..."

[rest of the excerpt deleted because I don't give a flying f*** what Olympia Snowe thinks and neither does most of America ]
