There is no employer who will hire a worker simply becaouse you give them money via tax brakes etc. An employer wiil only hire a new woker if they absolulty need one because buisnes is that good, not out of some goodnees of their heart as some suggest they will. Buisnesses boom when the masses (the middle, working class) have disposible income to pay for their products and services.

After WWII, the US made about 90% of the world's products. Now, we only make about 10% of our own products. Anyone who doesn't seee this as a major problem is not paying attention to reality.

As far as health reform, name one "penality that wiil be imposed.
The fact is, there is absolutly no penalty for not getting health insurance as the tax for not getting it is actually voluntary and the law specificaly states that there will be absolutly no penalty for not paying it.

Also, there are some new tax incentives for supplying health insurance and there are many cases where it will actually cost businesses less than it now does.

Wealth redistribution is government forced redistribution from the wealthy to the poor (the very definition of Marxism). What you describe, if accurate, is the free market working. It is the best and brightest working hard and earning to their potential. They should be congratulated, not punished for their success. BTW, the bottom 47% of Americans pay NO federal income tax. We are already redistributing plenty to them. Shall we just send them bigger checks as reward for not earning their own way?

As for your assessment on health reform, you're suggesting you don't have to pay the penalty fees for not buying insurance. It's not what Obama, Pelosi, Reed, and the rest of them have been saying. They've not even denied imprisonment, when asked, as a penalty for not buying insurance. So explain to me this. How will the system work if you don't have to buy insurance, you don't have to pay penalties, and you can't ever be denied coverage even with preexisting conditions? A mathematical and fiscal miracle? Cool!!! Sign me up!
