5. Health care costs are a hidden tax.
GM says it has between $1 & 3k per car in health care costs. How much of any company's operating expense goes to insurance and such? Everything we buy, rent, use or consume has a hidden tax on it. If we're going to make headway on this issue the hidden tax is the way to go. I've had two CEO types tell me that now is the time to off-load the cost of health care to the Fed. Hell, if ya' can't outsource it make the taxpayer cover it.
