[QUOTE="eyeheartawk, post: 7827192, member: 6727715"] Probably pretty good, I imagine. With churches not having to pay any kind of tax. Yikes. What you call a business expense I call a fundamental human right, but you know, tomato tomatoe. If we want to talk about who's living large off of the government hog it would be the corporations who benefit massively from sanctioned tax breaks and loopholes and pay often zero income tax (see GE, Amazon, Walmart etc). Plus, think about how many small business don't get started, or inventions not invented because people couldn't take the risk of losing access to healthcare via their current employer's health coverage. Also, keep in mind, with automation coming and eliminating a large amount of jobs-with nothing in the pipe to replace them- in the not so distant future having a system where healthcare is provided by employers will no longer be tenable as far more people will be unemployed then there are now. From a purely practical standpoint this would need to change. That is of course, if one cares about poor people having access to quality healthcare. As it is, and has always been, a fundamentally moral question. [/QUOTE]
