[DeTomaso] Now, how many of you have import marque cars sitting in your garages? (was: How can this happen in America)

Sorry, Larry, I neglected to say that I am all in favor of single payer 
health care.  The current situation where insurance companies skim huge 
profits off the top and then exclude people and coverages left and 
right has to go.

I'm 55 and would have no interest in retiring.  What would I do all 
day? I can't spend THAT much time fiddling with old cars.
The vast majority of those people who "retire" at 52 actually go on to 
work other jobs.  It is bogus.

<<<<Why should he be able to retire at 52 when the rest of us have to 
work until
65 or 67?>>>>

Perhaps the question should be, why shouldn't we all be able to retire 
at 52?

Or why doesn't this nation have universal, single payer lifetime health 
care
like the rest of the Western industrialized world?
And if you start to say we can't afford that....

We can pay for healthcare in taxes, or pay for it privately. But if you 
want the
cheapest method.....

Medicare overhead = +/- 3%

Private health care overhead = 20%-30%

But in simple terms, he can retire at an early age because he picked a 
career in
a Unionized industry
where the labor force still has some power, instead of picking a career
somewhere that just gives the worker
what management decides to dole out.

Don't hate him for what he has; ask yourself why YOU don't have it.

Larry
