In 2016 the US imported $416B and exported $270B to the EU. Although $11B is a large number, it's a 2.6% tax on the total. More interestingly, is what they are taxing. Personally, I'd rather have tariffs than income tax. At least

IMO this should not be a federal issue. Each state or school district can set their own rules (thus provide the option to parents). This would pretty much make everyone happy. As most regions would setup the rules to best protect their chil

Actually, no it's not. The poor are taxed at the same rate as the wealthy. Regressive, is that they are taxed more. I'm suggesting that we take substantially more from the ultra wealthy; many of whom already pay <15% tax. I&#x2

Funny story, our billing service was also collections. Meaning, the doctor / hospital earned X% of what ever we got, regardless of if you were in collections or not. So, we had no incentive to really negotiate in that regard. Arguably
