Why would a business owner continue to offer employee health insurance instead of letting employees get it via the government? It seems it would make much more sense to eliminate company health care benefits and all of the financial and administrative burdens that come with it. I wonder how many administrative jobs would be lost if companies dump health care benefits?

Really? You are going to try and use logic and common sense again? I am telling you, that is just going to confuse people!

I wonder how much money could be saved, (and used to reduce premium costs), if there were fewer administrators? Perhaps that's why Medicare's administrative overhead is so much lower than the private sector? Perhaps the idea of allowing EVERYONE over the age of say, 35-40-50? to BUY INTO Medicare and save all of the administrative costs, obscene top-executive salaries, marketing & advertising costs that get passed on, isn't such a bad idea???

Oh yeah.
Right.
"Liberals" LOVE to be "illogical".
They love being deeper and deeper in debt.
I'm not even sure what "promoting class warfare" means, but yeah, if it's "bad" I'm sure all the people you imagine are out there loving the illogical and being deeper in debt love it too.
Do you ever think about how nonsensical your knee-jerk reaction to "liberals" sounds?
Or do you just keep bouncing that knee in the air thinking that there is actually something intelligent behind your reflexes?
My my, it appears that you take exception to eating the same dish you are serving archer. Why would that be? You are not similarly engaged in watching your own knee bounce in the air thinking there is something intelligent in what you posted? Please.

You said the percentage is 'so small' as to how many jobs they create. So 20% of the jobs created is 'small' to you? So if there are approximately 120 million people working, that means acording to your numbers here, the top 2% created 24 million jobs. THAT is a small number? How many jobs did the bottom 50% create? So if they cut down even by 10%, you are saying that it is nothing to have another 2.4 million unemployed? Interesting logic.
And why can't you respond to me? That a two D graph with a constant does not represent the economy?
Jeez, Steve - are you THAT simple?
PS AND Viking - I assure you I have good math skills.

Kill me with data. I will look at it.
PS has posted tons of data. Haven't see you respond to any of it yet other than tell us about your math skills.
