According to Ted Cruz the worst thing about public healthcare is that everybody uses it.

Does Bernie think saying "We are the wealthiest country in the world" just magically creates a supply of unlimited money to spend however he wants? I'm starting to think Hillary was right and he really thinks like that.

Why does the government create so many barriers for cheaper drugs? Also, where's that cash register sound coming from?

Taxes work by seizing one big lump sum for a whole year, right? That's why we all file taxes in one month a year. - Ted Cruz

That still wouldn't be enough to pay for Bernie's plans, and once you raise the rate over a certain point you actually start losing revenue. Look at what happened in France with Hollande's 75% tax bracket. He believed in it until it was proven to him to be counter-productive.

That's right. A 95% bracket would be way more productive.

Didn't you just hear Cruz say that even a 100% tax wouldn't pay for it? Do you think Cruz is lying and using fake numbers to get to that answer?

Yes.

If all the money in the world won't be enough for universal healthcare, how the fricking HECK does ted think people can afford it in the first place???

All the countries with a UHS fund it with Monopoly money.

And then what do you do once that's money is all spent? how do you keep the system funded for the future? You have to have recurring revenue, in this case recurring tax revenue, and you seriously think people being taxed at 100% are going to keep producing at the same level? Do you? Why?

Rich people don't produce anything.

Ted Cruz and Hillary's maths are bullshit. Taxes don't work that way, and the plan would not be so expensive the richest country in the world could never afford it.

CC's premise is that Cruz somehow got away with murder, even though everyone in the audience can see he's the Zodiac Killer.

Those women weren't enough. Taking away healthcare will be the greatest serial killing in history.

I liked how Sanders pointedly asked her what happens if any of her employees get sick, and her response was literally "I dunno."

what if the government took over healthcare and heavily subsidized things like food, housing and utilities, and provided a minimum income to all americans, then people could afford to take jobs with lower wages!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?! that almost seems like it would be in a small business owner's interests
