Re: The PPACA Thread Part V: Doctor! Doctor! Give me the news!
I would think the massive majority would be in the (37-91, single; 75-152 joint) section, which is unchanged.
The only significant effect of this plan is to drive (415+; 467+) from .40 to .33. That's all it does and all it's supposed to do, because being bent over without lube by the rich for the last 37 years apparently isn't enough. The extra $5T in debt will then be paid by the middle class. The poor have no money and the rich avoid paying their share, so we are the only ones left to pay. And of course we pay again with the opportunity cost of the investments that money could go for. Instead, our country falls apart as the wealthy pocket what would go for education and roads.
Cut the rich's taxes and debt explodes and the middle class dies. Economists knew this would happen back before we tried it. We now know this is true from almost 40 years' horrific experience. How anyone can argue for this on the merits, rather than just purely as class warfare to benefit the 1%, is beyond belief.
And yet... our very own useful idiots will defend it on pure ideological grounds, despite all the empirical evidence. It's a religious faith, not an economic theory, and they hate us so much they will always cling to it simply because we can refute it.
