Murray would madate that Health Insurance companies treat all age groups as a single pool, that has proven to be a disaster, he would repeal all medical licence laws which is a very good idea and alter tort laws to make it easier to write legally binding no sue clauses, which is a good idea ezxcept in the case of clear fraud or force( such as a doctor rapeing a patient). Thought maybe should be into only charging the sales tax to limit liablity and corporate retailers and maybe in exchange a person would sign a no sue waiver of corporations and LLC for the Citizens dividen and a business could automatically be incorporated by charging the sales tax if it wanted to and non retail business and non profits could automatically be incorporated when a certain percentage of their revenue came from a business charging the sales tax. No business or nonprofit by law would be require to incorprate and no one would be required to sign the no sue waiver if they were willing to not collect the citizens dividend.--- In [email protected], "terry12622000" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I happen to be one who think the prebait is the least of our worries, > in fact I think we would be much better off ending all the federal > transfer programs and go with a citizens dividend, which would have > an added beneift of giving the anti immigrant conservatives one more > excuse not to holler about since a non citizen would get nothing.
