Taxes?

[Publius]

This has been a great debate but I feel we're at a bit of an impasse, perhaps we'll just keep going back and forth on this topic, so I won't address every issue you mentioned.

I'm just curious...
Do you agree/disagree that america has the worst public health among western developed nations? (You didn't address that directly)
Do you feel the wealth disparity has gone too far? That, despite all wages going up, with inflation considered the lower and most of the middle class have lower relative buying power?
When did we agree to go on this tirade to pay for pharmaceutical companies' R&D? I don't think the people voted for that.
Who decides the salaries in companies, if not the top executives?

Do you expect him to now answer all of your questions? Just curious.


This is actually one of the reasons I try to stay out these types of debates in these types of settings. Reason 1... you never get very far. Reason 2... half the questions or issues you bring up are ignored by the person/party. In the end, a decent amount of time was consumed, and minds are ever so rarely changed, if ever.
