Increase taxes on wealthy for healthcare and other redistribution programs.<BR/>3. Increase Minimum Wage<BR/><BR/>1. If something comes free or cheap the quality goes down. It takes away incentives for private companies to find new medicines and Drugs. Also other countries with these types of programs do not have enough docters and people often die on waiting lists before they can be treated.<BR/><BR/>2. Taking money from the people who give people jobs makes absolutely no since. You take away money from employers, you take away jobs.<BR/><BR/>3. If labor is more expensive, we hire less labor.<BR/><BR/>All of these are examples of great intentions creating bad policies that hurt the people they were intended to helpPaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200244861503678105noreply@blogger.com
