Dead $14 billion loophole could sink corporate health care

This is the consequence of republicans not willing to sit and talk like reasonable human beings about what is best for the country.

Experience I am not sure anyone who we have elected President had experience in that job the first 4 years. There is no job so demanding that anyone can understand before they are serve in that office.

But if anyone has had experience and education President Obama will rank at the top of my list.

with our employer based health care system the issue eventually comes down to which is more important, the health of the worker(the citizen) or the bottom line of the company. By closing this loophole the bottom line of the company will suffer which in turn may hurt the employee if the business cuts benefits or drops the individual all together. If the law stipulates that the company can not drop employees from their plan then it ensures that the employee is the victor in this exchange. We have lived in a corporate culture where we have been convinced that what is good for business is good for the United States. I would like to borrow the slogan from one of the most profitable companies from the 1990s into the 2000s. A company that shattered barriers world wide and noteriety is second to none, Enron. ASK WHY?

Why is it that what is good for business is good for America? Have we not seen what can happen if business and profit becomes higher valued than that of basic human rights? This has been a common topic as of late on the vine. All of the services and protections that the federal government oversees for consumers against corporations. This all began back in the industrial revolution. Rights were being trampled and it took the Progressive Movement to try and set it straight. it was championed by the Republican Teddy Roosevelt, breaking up monopolies and ensuring basic rights for workers across the United States. He threatened to send in federal troops to break up a coal strike. This would be considered SOCIALIST and FASCIST in todays political climate.

His cousin FDR when he was in office and putting in place the New Deal had a coup arise against him, from Corporate America. It was extinguished by Smedley Butler, the most decorated General in United States history. This is the same man who gave birth to the phrase the military-industrial complex. It was not well known until President Eisenhower used it in his farewell address, however it was Butler who first brought the term into public light a few decades previously.

Ask Why? - Love Enron
