Here is the issue: You need to tax where the money is. The more the money gets concentrated among fewer people, the higher the tax rate for those people have to become. Because it's the monitory transactions that generate most of the money. Few people with most of the money means less transactions.
wrong. Many of them where favorably to the idea until 2010. When there number one priority wasn't trying to do whats best, or run a government, it was defeat Obama, even if they have to burn the country to the ground.
You might want to actual read up on the republican in office history before answering for all of them, you only look more stupid. Don't have time to read up on that? fine, but don't act like you know what the fuck you are talking about.
"I don't know anyone that has read all 2801 pages" I have. Twice. I also have a section by section break down. I know many other people who have read it.
" So for procedure A in 2014, a Dr will make less than he did in 2008. It's still the same procedure, and inflation has occurred, soooo." OK, you haven't read it, but you are willing to make statements about it? you're a fucking idiot.
Republican voters are mostly self centered religious zealots who use god as an excuse to do mean things to people who are different from them. People running the platform are not stupid.
when people find out he pays less taxes then people who actually work for their money, it won't play well to a largest section of Americans.
"The IRS looks it over and its none of your business" I agree..but we are talking about people and tradition. It's hard to change that. I think all the candidates at the same time would have to agree not to release taxes.
OTOH, there is a solid argument for the citizen to know everything about people running for office. hmm
"we just focus on actual politics?" this IS politics. Personally, I would say "can we just stick to policy"
That's nice of you to suspect that, but it's false. You might want to go from what you suspect to actual god damn science.
The problem here is you lack the intellect necessarily to think of how it would be done. You're hubris then allows you to conclude it must be impossible. As such, you don't even research it because you ego doesn't allow to to consider you might be wrong.
" There are also zero double-blind studies showing any effectiveness to surgery." False.
"every placebo-controlled trial of a surgical procedure (there have been a handful) has shown the procedure in question to be no more effective than a "sham" operation." Nonsense.
"Most of modern medicine has very little scientific evidence to support it." laughably ignorant.
" Maybe not any better than a placebo, " Do you even know What The FUCK the placebo effect is? No, you don't.
" there is scientific proof that placebos work, no, no, NO. shut the fuck up you ignorant SOB. By DEFINITION, they have no effect on the disease. Was that sentence to hard for your tiny stupid egocentric brain?
" chiropractors (mostly) don't believe that spinal adjustments will cure cancer" 70 percent do. 90 percent believe in a 'magical' method of some sort.
"Homeopathy now means "natural treatment", " no it doesn't.
"And it is very likely that providing homeopathy will help achieve those goals. " nice of you to pull that out of your ass. It's not true. Long term it costs more because the treatment will get more expensive as the problem gets worse. Eventually, they end up in ER costing 10s of thousands of dollars for something that would of cost 100 bucks at the beginning.
" I have dozens of other hospitals to choose from" Do you? You would be a rare exception. Most people only get to choose what their Insurance will cover.
With a single payer system, YOU have MORE transparency, and MORE say about this kind of none sense.
No, the patient does not need a placebo. The patient needs to talk to a psychiatrist. There is a mental issue going on and the patient should have it resolved instead of faking a treatment until it impacts their life in worse ways.
". People want their imaginary diseases to be taken 100% seriously and prescribing something homeopathic " NO. They have a problem, they need REAL treatment. Sometimes 'imaginary' can bu non specific symptoms, it can be bad symptom definition. it can be an indicator of mental issues.
"once you lost them they won't come back when they are seriously ill and will instead try to treat their cancer with herb teas" which will happen when they find out the Dr. lied to them.
How is more people waiting longer to get actual treatment save tax payer money in any way what so ever? When a subjective placebo where off, the underlying problems is still there, and often worse.
Once AGAIN: Placebos have zero influence in Treating ANY problems. They just decrease the perception of pain or other subjective symptoms for a short period of time.
Because he was talking about what was in the warehouse? which would be the "global strategic reserve for maple syrup",
When so much of your GDP is based on a product, you should probably create a global reserve to hedge against radical market changes. The fact that you can't conceive how important something is doesn't make it laughable.

Blackmail should probably be mentioned among the crimes here.
"extra tax on money that has already been taxed."
no, it isn't.
It's a tax on the interest earned; which isn't already taxed money.
"Even though you've worked for 20 years to save that money,"
wrong. You didn't not work AT ALL for that money gained on interest.
It's a tax on INCOME, not money you saved. And it was higher during the most prosperous times in America.
wrong. Many of them where favorably to the idea until 2010. When there number one priority wasn't trying to do whats best, or run a government, it was defeat Obama, even if they have to burn the country to the ground.

this IS politics. Personally, I would say "can we just stick to policy"
" we had a proper and organized public discourse."
hahaha.
" US recognizes homeopathy as valid"
not exactly.
" even exempts homeopathic remedies from FDA regulations requiring efficacy"
That's a common misdirection used be the people who sell magical thinking.
The FDA allows it! is a fundamental misunderstanding of how the FDA works.
Government doesn't equal centralized power. It can, but it doesn't always.
That's nice of you to suspect that, but it's false.

I think you need to understand the difference between 'incorrect' and a negative.
Modern Psychology works. So, no not at all.
" They do work. "
Wrong.
"Proven to work."
False.
" Maybe not any better than a placebo, "
Do you even know What The FUCK the placebo effect is? No, you don't.

no, no, NO. shut the fuck up you ignorant SOB.

which will happen when they find out the Dr. lied to them.
Or maybe the parents assumed it worked and quit applying there bias to the toddler.
And by maybe, I mean definitively.

homeopathy doesn't treat anything.
Oh, a wired article about a know clinical process that they don't understand.
Hint: Placebos are not increasing effectiveness.
In fact, they have no effectiveness.
They just decrease the perception of pain or other subjective symptoms.
Since there is no trace of the original substance, paying him zero is the correct analogy.
Not only is it not PC, it's wrong.
I mean, wow, right out of 100 years ago.
It's dead, Jim.

Actually, they do have real maple syrup.
