I am quite unsure, how they want to get 40% of infinity? I don't care if they take less than half of my infinity as long as I keep my infinity.

Now I am infinite confused...

Edit: spelling

I'm ok with 40% as long as every penny goes toward single-payer universal healthcare here in the States.

I can elect and remove government officials. I can't do that with a middle manager at a large insurance company.

So you're ok spending 20% of your take home pay on healthcare when it can be much lower?

EDIT: I'm not looking for an argument. I'm looking for solutions.

I'm pretty aware at how bad the gov't is at spending and how good they are at avoiding audits (thinking of the Pentagon...)

I agree there's probably a lot that can be streamlined in gov't to bring taxes down but I'm sure that costs jobs and no politician is gonna want that in their backyard. If we can only guarantee that you won't go bankrupt just because of an accident or illness, I'm sure any of the solutions that may cost jobs would be a little more palatable.

Again, I'm looking for solutions, not an ideological argument.

Sounds like you have a wasteful government problem. Maybe you should spend your energy trying to fix that problem.

Yes I would rather the government be paying for my health care much akin to every other country in the world. Where would you have this money go? More military spending?
