Abe, to your credit, you've raised a question that most people in your position would not even bother to ask of themselves. But here's another question: Should you support proposals to tax employer provided health care?

I'd say you should, and I should, but both of us could handle (unhappily, perhaps), the increased financial burden. The problem is that there's a boatload of others who would be tremendously burdened by such a tax.

The truth is that there is no proposed fix that addresses the fundamental problems that arise from wealth inequality in the U.S.--unless the best of the currently possible reforms are followed by renewed efforts to address the underlying issues.

In case you're interested, the characters I had to type in order to post this comment spell the word "uranoong," which, though unfamiliar to me, means, I think, unfeasible at this time.
