Now we can have a good discussion.

Let's look at one of your employees..........not a skilled carpenter..........just one of the highly qualified assistants. Let's say that you pay him $20.00 per hour (I'm just guessing).

His annual income is therefore $40,000 per year. And, let's say that he, like you, has a family to support. His after tax net is about $32,000.

Let's take a look at his expenses:

Housing: $14,000 (including utilities)
Food: $9,100 (includes all drugs and toiletries)
Clothes: $2,000
Auto: $5,000
Recreation: $2,500

He's already in the hole by $600. and he hasn't purchased any flat screen TV's or cell phones or Ipods or computers or XBox 360's or any of the crap that you claim that these people purchase.

So, explain to me how he can afford another $10,200. for health care...........please..........this ought to be excellent...........
