Democrats squabble over who will pay health care bill

#4  Is there a doubt about who pays the bill? It is a question of which group gets their income redistributed more--or as is better said who gets hosed the most?

#3  2 people go to a resteraunt and have a large, expensive dinner. Feeling good after a hearty eat, the bill is brought to the table. We immediately get into an arguement about who should pay the bill. The first person argues that family of 4 over there should pick up their bill because the parents are used to buying food for others and someday the kids will be able to earn income of their own and pay back the parents. The other argues that the person over there dining alone should pay for their meal, since that person only has themself to pay for and hence has more disposable income.

Well, if were are going to pass the bill off to one of the other tables should we at least get the tip? Why sure, says the other, we tip the Maitre'd well on the way out so maybe we get a head start.

#2  Anyone think to give them guns so they can shoot it out among themselves? May the best aim win.

#1  They're squabbling over the rhetoric about how everyone is going to be hosed either through direct taxing, delayed taxing via bond interest, or indirect taxing through inflation. Redistribution by any other name.
