    Moen1305 Not Republican!

    The funny part is that it is always Republicans coming out against mimimum wage increases and it isn't because they are affraid it will make people poorer either. They always claim that it will hurt business. It never does. If your business is so close to the edge that you can't afford 15 more cents an hour every 10 years, you probably won't be in business much longer anyway. His argument is nonsense the same as the argument Republicans always use to try and defeat mimimum wage increases.

    I really don't know but I know some businesses will take a loss on one thing if it means that the consumer will buy something else along with it that brings in crap tons of money.

    We have lab companies that give us $100K, $200K machines for free and replace them when a new model comes out and repair them for free too...but they are the only ones that you can buy your supplies from. Same with some drug pumps. The pumps are free but the vials with the morphine or whatever in them are special and you pay for them.

    So I suppose if the Mint has to take a loss on a cent in order to sell the nickel, dime or quarter....they are more than willing to bit that bullet. At some point though, they will just discontinue it (or rather they will lobby to have it discontinued and win).

    Here's a thought. How bout giving some of those drugs, or maybe reduce prices, to the people that actually NEED them versus giving away hundreds of thousands/millions in perks to the other mafia members?

    The fancy book keeping will make it all balance out though I'm sure. Poor Joe Schmoe will be left holding the bag as usual, and the "more well to do" lemmings will just continue to screw everybody else as long as they get their "piece", until one day, (sooner rather than later), the lemmings get the final screw as the cigar smoking, champagne drinking, drug pushing hypcrites take one final dump on America before they exit to their overseas islands.

    Because the government prefers to buy them from the Pharm corporations and then give them away for 'free'. The Pharm corporations are paying good money to have the government try to do that and we wouldn't want to see the Pharm corporations waste all that lobbying money.

    Let me get this straight. You're defending the Pharma corps? Do I read that right?

    Ummmm. Nope. Not even close.

    I am saying Pharm doesn't have to give them away for free. They are paying off government officials so the government will give them away for 'free' instead.

    Gotcha.

    So if Pharma has all this cash to give away...how come healthcare is as big an issue as it is? Why doesn't everyone already have universal coverage?

    That is how the system works. They make money in order to buy the legislation they want so they can make more money so they can buy more legislation they want so they can make...

    Politicians are prostitutes but they aren't dumb prostitutes. They sell themselves one bill at a time.
