40. The disention is plain and simple, neither party wants to lose their personal wealth, ask McConnell
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky called for expanding the tax deduction on health care costs for employers to """"""include individual taxpayers"""""" -- what the Republicans call equalized tax treatment -- and limiting medical malpractice lawsuits that he said drive up the cost of medical care.

Sure, same old tax, tax, tax. I don't even believe they have to tax the wealthy. My belief is these con artists don't know a freaking thing about how to do anything but tax, tax, tax.
With scrutiny on the lives of every politician, (in the old days we knew who was boinking who, it was just kept out of the news, but today's media is hungry for "The National Enquirer" $$ so they delve into them like paparazzi do to celebs) so the people who should be in office and fixing these problems are on the sidelines laughing their arses off at these incompetent dooshbags. :hippie:
