Tiger Hawk highlights one of the more idiotic provisions of the Senate health care bill: a value-added tax on companies that develop new medical technology.
It is an obvious point, but one that constantly needs to be made: when you tax something, you get less of it. The U.S. leads the world in technological innovation, and the Democrats are preparing to bump us down a few notches. Ask yourselves, citizens – does this make sense? Furthermore, does electing economic illiterates who would propose such a law seem like a good idea? Remember how you answered those questions when 2010 rolls around.

ReplyDeleteIt's a mine field, no question about it. If we look hard enough, we'd probably find subsidies for root doctors and chicken heads.
ReplyDeleteColour me confused, Paco - 'root doctors' in the American sense...or the Australian!?!

ReplyDeleteYou'll need one to find out how you're health's doing... goes with the voodoo etc.
Nothing is punished like success.
ReplyDeleteYou would think even that a smart Ivy league guy like Bari al-Taqqiyah would notice that the groups in this country most dependent on government health care -- Native Americans, poor blacks, poor hispanics -- also have the highest mortality rates and the shortest life spans.
Nah, there couldn't possibly be a connection...
