That's crazy, all I said in every response is that workers need a stake in their own lives; they need decent wages, benefits, and opportunities for advancement. Contrary to insurance company propaganda (that's what I used to do, I worked in various capacities for different insurers), national healthcare would SAVE businesses because it would lessen the burden of healthcare costs. I have an actuary friend who put it in simple terms: if you want lower healthcare costs, get rid of health insurers.

I'm not certain what you're saying in the rest of your post. Are you accusing me of minimizing the past contributions workers made to America? Are you accusing me of Marxism or some other form of radical socialism? I just don't follow you, but you now seem to be saying that workers, not wealthy liberals, were catalysts for change. Is that the case? You started out being defensive about corporations, but now change your tune. Which is it?
