Reply #28: the point is that the wealthy and powerful have no "skin" in the game. [View All]

Rearrange the system so that THEY have to risk something.

And the risk would be this: life or divesting some of the fortune.

All this furor about health care and "entitlements" is aimed at keeping help from those who need it while protecting wealth of those who have it.

None of the argument brings personal risk for the wealthy and powerful. But for the middle class and the workers, increased death, poverty, disability and misery are probabilities.

The wealthy and powerful need skin in the game. They are the decision makers.

So make them risk something.
