Jake Tapper can bite my pasty white ass

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Yonnie3 (a host of the General Discussion forum).

He's banging them all on whether they will raise taxes to cover health care for all. He is seeming to go for a sound bite saying candidate X wants to raise taxes.

No mention from him about the offset of insurance premiums.

Stinky sez: Fuck you, Jake.

get one of them to say they will raise taxes. Asshole, trying to frame it in a way that isn't honest.

HIGHER TAXES!!!!!! HIGHER TAXES!!!!!! HIGHER TAXES!!!!!!

I almost turned it off. Apparently CNN really wants the fireworks driving ratings.

Health care is actually too complicated to discuss all the different options and ways to get there in a few minutes on TV. It needs research of the many other countries that have succeeded at universal coverage; no need to reinvent the wheel.
