So if you dislike insurance companies, how about drug companies? Big business is big business. No matter which one sides with you or opposes you they are still in it for the money.

Nothing wrong with starting a business in the hope of making money. Our free market system- as flawed as it is has produced the greatest innovations in medicine, pharmeceuticals, medical hardware, therapy breakthroughs, surgical techniques etc. etc. Teh system has problems, and Pelosi makes George W. look like a mensa super genius.

Downgrading like this is the evil we have to contend against.

IN short the liberals in office (aka Pelosi, Reid, Shumer and their ilk) are lying through their teeth about the insurance industry raking in record profits on the backs of the insured.

If that is record profits, then Microsoft is the devil incarnate for their mega profit margins.

I've been thinking of starting a business where I buy up all the air and only let people breathe if they give me 80% of their income. That's OK too right?

Well they are raking in record profits. On whose back are they making it?

You are the only one talking margins... which is a silly way to measure.

It likely is... but I don't need Windows to live.

Guy writes th greatest song ever. Charges megabucks for it despite it being cheap to make. Only the rich can afford it. Good capitalist.

Same guy, same scenerio, but it's the cure for cancer.

You know, I don't begrudge many people in congress more than I begrudge Pelosi and Rahm Emmanuel. Both should be exiled along with Bush jr, Jimmy Carter, and Tom Delay.

Glad I read this; I currently have a lot of air on my property and am willing to make a deal to sell you as much as you would like. Have your people give my people a call. We'll do lunch!

No problem.. I'll just be sucking air from all the california desert I just baught cheap. Of course, pressure differential will have your air coming to me shortly.

You could ask the government to regulate how much air I can suck up, but that would be anti-capatalist.
