4. If we're going to treat "15t tax hike" as a legitimate argument, then I'm going with free stuff.

10. Two memes for Single Payer that contradict themselves. Thank you for combining them to point out

the incredible inconsistency in the talking points being trotted out!

5. So, it appears by these types of presentations that

Supporters of the other candidates would Reject this ROI and Prefer that "we" have No say and No control over how and where our Tax Dollars are invested? Is that about right?

6. What kinds of Dems would smear a Dem with lies?

Don't we fight with truth, not lies? It seems inappropriate.

I think we now know who we're fighting. It's Dems and Repubs. How absurd.

7. The hillarians no longer pretend to be democrats

They are repulsive.

9. The problem with this graph is it only shows democrats. Clinton supporters are not.

11. I'm surprised the "Medicare for All" moniker is so popular; current Medicare rates would bankrupt...

many providers if those losses weren't being subsidized by payments from commercial payers.

Something has got to happen with Medicare rates if that's going to be the only payer.

13. Medicare pays an extra $17 billion per year for prescription drugs versus prices paid

by Medicaid and the VA for the same drugs. And Medicaid and the VA pay significantly higher prices than most countries around the world.

The people who administer Medicare are forbidden from trying to negotiate lower prescription drug prices without getting approval from Congress.

12. Too bad Politico doesn't pick up Citizens for Tax Justice Analysis which

contradicts the TPC analysis.

Also too bad that people read Politico for their "tax" analysis instead of actually reading the real analysis done by these organizations. If you do - you can see for yourself the flaws and as flawed as the TPC is - it's not anywhere as blatantly lying as the Politico article that gives no detail except to pull out a few numbers that mean nothing out of context - and includes a quote by someone who served in Bill Clinton's administration.

I wish people would really do their homework and look at things a bit more carefully - always consider a source and when possible - actually make up your own mind!
