George Will, of course, is worse than useless. He talked about the grand days under Jack Kennedy, when people paid a much bigger proportion of their medical expenses
It would have been great for Patrick to have said, "Okay. And taxes for businesses and the wealthy were at what? 65-70%. You for that too George?"

The middle class exploded once unions won insurance benefits for workers, as did small businesses, since there was more cash to spend.

As I said, "I think most people would have."
It was not clear I admit. I think most people would have missed the opportunity to nail George Will
