Among Developed Nations American Tax Bills are Below Average

because of monopolies that develop in states like north Dakota.

insignificant near monopolies develop obviously because liberals made competition illegal. Obviously monopolies exist when you create them!!! but liberal govt does not eliminate them under the Sherman act because liberal govt wants them becauase they are deemed good near monopolies because they meet state requirements.
NOw you grasp it I presume.

First.. competition is not illegal.

And second the Sherman Act does not apply to all industries.

You are simply completely wrong. Have proven yourself wrong. and you are incapable of grasping that.
 
Insurance firms in each state are protected from interstate competition by the federal McCarran-Ferguson Act (1945), which grants states the right to regulate health plans within their borders.

So you oppose states' rights?

in commerce all conservatives do. Imagine if each state required its own kind of car. Now you understand what went wrong with health care. isn't learning the best?

sure it is thats why Trump and Republicans want to make health insurance competition legal again. Its actually been in all the papers!! Sorry. Being a liberal is no fun at all.

Yeah no.. .

You just went against the conservative argument against obamacare.. and went with the liberal argument of the commerce clause giving the federal government the right to trump states rights.
 
Yeah no.. .

You just went against the conservative argument against obamacare.

conservatives are for capitalism and free trade so naturally oppose Obamacare which is socialist/communist meaning it is heavily controlled through govt rules enforced at gun point if necessary.
 
and went with the liberal argument of the commerce clause giving the federal government the right to trump states rights.

Conservatives are for free trade among states and nations in cars and healthcare since the more competition you have the better the quality and price of goods and services. Conservatives do not want to exercise states rights in regard to cars and health care since it would increase price and decrease quality of goods and services.

so in other words.. you are against state rights if they do something you don't like.

Republicans are against the aspect of states rights that would turn every state into a separate market with fewer competitors, fewer products, lower quality products, and higher prices. McCarran Furguson did this in health care and we pay 3 times more than anybody else for health care. Its very very stupid but its what liberals support. Hope you understand now?

conservative argument against Obamacare is that its socialist which means way too much federal and state govt intervention and way too little capitalism.
 
the liberal argument of the commerce clause giving the federal government the right to trump states rights.

what? the commerce clause had nothing to do with health care conservatives would argue. They would want national capitalism in all industries. Liberals would argue the commerce clause gives them the right to manage anything remotely like a business

your flip flop is noted.

Actually the commerce clause is what was argued and accepted by the court as the reason that Obamacare was constitutional.

and????????????Chief Justice John Roberts’ majority decision today upholding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act makes a number of very important points. First, Roberts completely rejected the Obama administration’s unprecedented argument that the individual mandate was constitutional under Congress’ power “to regulate commerce...among the several states.” As Roberts wrote:
 
One of the reasons is that the U.S. government actually collects most of those taxes. Not so everywhere.

so lets see, should we follow the world that is far less successful than we are or should they follow us??

Personally, I don't care that much about the rest of the world. So you decide.

its interesting that when it comes to health care liberals want us to follow the developed world as if we should to catch up to our inferiors??
Oh, and when it comes to most things our liberals want us to follow our inferiors by moving closer and closer to socialism.

So then we must raise out taxes to equal Europes so that we too can have what Krugman calls Eurosclerous!!!
