Public Health Care vs Private Health Insurers' Theft Industry

Although the democrats started the debate with one hand behind their backs by failing to insist on a single payer option as their first proposal and then compromising to the public health insurance option as the final policy, the debate is now whether it can get done before the August recess or will the rethuglicans and corporatist democrats hold up the legislation long enough to kill it. This is a mashup video with Rachel Maddow, Countdown, and Hardball segments mixed in.

so whats your point...profit is still the process by which unproductive capitalist bosses extract wealth from the men and women who actually produce the goods and services. profit is a tax on those workers who are granted permission to use the means of production.

Workers can obtain capital too. e.g. stocks.

Profit can also come from capital. e.g.machines. If there existed a machine that could produce without someone managing it, it would still produce a capital while zero people are working, so your assertion isn't true. The fair wage for a particular job is determined by the labor market. Supply and demand.

Vladmir Lenin said the same thing. He and Stalin and others murdered millions so people could have even LESS of the fruits of their labor every day!

workers don't profit. In fact they are robbed of the fruits of their labor every day by the elite few who have the power or capital to exploit them

[nym8600]

no a profit is money taken from laborers by capitalist for allowing workers to temp. use the means of production...anyone who contributes with their blood, sweat and tears to a product or service cannot profit from it. He/she is merely reaping the fruits of their labor, unlike capitalist pigs who exploit productive members of society and push money around to live without really working

How much in profits did the Soviet Union rake in through their slave labor camps? Tell me what entity government or private does not profit?

[Entropy137]

Profits can come through theft. It can also come through work, production, and efficiency.

[nym8600]

except for corporations which rake in trillions every year in profits...profits=theft
