Bookies only take about 5% of the action for themselves. The private health care industry takes 30% vigorish, and uses much of that money to hire people to figure out ways to deny you service.

The middle class is becoming the permanent debtor class. Declare bankruptcy today and beat the rush! This used to be a country with a future.

We all have seen how Government sets at least 2 sets of rules, one for themselves & one for the rest of us pleebs. Anybody out there remember the House banking scandal? I know I don't want to see one member of ANY branch of Government get any more invoved in this then they already are. Why do you think Hillary-care died? Much as you may not wanna hear this, more Government involvement is not the answer. Tell me, honestly now, how many times has more Government worked? I sure don't remember any.
