Reply #7: Yep. I wouldn't mind paying the taxes to support a health care system that worked [View All]

(so long as the rich and corporations also paid a FAIR share of taxes) but being REQUIRED TO PAY A FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION (through payroll taxes, no less) in order to work in America? :wtf: That is pretty blatant corporate welfare.

Taking money out of pay checks and giving it to insurance companies to invest in the stock market is also payroll taxes given to Wall Street. They aren't having much luck turning payroll taxes to support Social Security over to private investment firms, so this is just an end run abound the collective common sense.

Frankly, the working class is not able to carry any more of the load to keep the top 1% in the style they have become accustomed to. Payroll deductions to corporations that have been screwing workers more every day for the past 40 years? Why not just legalize slavery. It amounts to the same thing when you get right down to it
