Instead of working with colleagues ‘across the aisle’ to pass legislation to curb abuses like this, one of our two major political parties — do I really have to say which one? — spent over a decade attempting to repeal [and not replace] the Affordable Care Act, which it insists on calling ‘Obamacare’ so it will sound like some sort of Marxist plot to many of the ‘conservative’ rural voters who rely heavily on the ACA while bellowing their hatred of all things ‘Obama.’With billions in profits in the balance, we can be sure that pharmaceutical companies invest heavily in candidates who will protect the profit-making loopholes embedded in our law. Those companies get the best law their money can buy. The rich get richer, the poor get children. Think ‘Dobbs.’But not to worry. Over the next two years, the majority party in the house is gonna find out all there is to know about Hunter Biden’s laptop, the ‘Deep State,’ and every froot loop covid-19 conspiracy theory deranged human minds can concoct. Those profits are safe and sound; just like the carried interest tax dodge, a ludicrously low corporate tax rate, a favorable tax rate for wealthy individuals, tax subsidies for passive investment, a low cap on income subject to Social Security taxation, ad infinitum, ad nauseam.Unfortunately, America gets the government it wants — at least to the extent gerrymandering, voter suppression, the Electoral College, Russian meddling, Fox ‘News’ propaganda and voter apathy will allow.
