The average household income in the US is around 80k. That’s like 55k after taxes. Are you proposing they give up another 30k of that?
- wffurr 3y agoI seriously doubt GP’s income is average. They did not make any claims about the average households tax burden either, only their own.
- alistairSH 3y agoI never said any such thing. I said I’d pay that amount or more. And anybody with employer provided medical insurance is probably paying ten thousand or more into that already - with a national medical system, that money is “freed up” (probably to be taken as tax). And between college loans and medical insurance, I probably pay close to that already. And on the medical side, I’d rather it went to a national program that didn’t tightly couple people to their employers.
