    ....and those taxes are small in comparison to what would be paid by consumers using those dollars instead. Industrialists (ie. the Henry Ford quote) realized a long time ago that if corporations make a zero-sum game out of the employer/employee relationship that society would suffer.

  12. You think the 12$ hr staff at a doctors office code and invoice bills correctly? The blame goes both ways. Really our ridiculous and convoluted medical system is to blame. Imagine if doctors billed on a time basis like a lawyer.

  13. Some bills are just so fubar that someone has to look at them. You really think 'watson' is processing 100% of the bills?

    I haven't read anything beyond the article but I don't see where Trump is taking credit. He just describes a sequence of events and talking up a company investing in US jobs.

    That's not really the point though.... companies expanding in US will be good guys and companies doing the opposite bad. Just reinforcing the narrative.
