Robert Mueller, Former F.B.I. Director, Is Named Special Counsel for Russia Investigation

Its because the tax cut wasn't meant to help you genius. You run a single sole proprietor type business. A tax cut to will not spur
investment so doctors, trial lawyers and others were excluded.

It was meant to spur hiring, investment and such for companies that do that sort of thing. When you lower taxes and have incentives
to spur investment businesses that hire people and invest should benefit, not you.

The fact that government licensing allows doctors like you to be in a shortage and thereby spur doctors incomes to the top of all measures
of US income and yet you want more?? Be glad that government regulation killed all non-doctor medicine and pushed all people to be
controlled by doctors and then created an artificial shortage pushing up their income.

So enjoy it, and get out of the way of those that actually create value, hire people and make real investments not subsidize sole practitioners offices
and salaries for their personal pleasure.

 

The tax cut was a tax cut for business and those that hire and invest. Anything else was a throw in. But that tax cut to business has
already had a huge effect in terms of the job market, investment and wonder why you're not hearing of Canadian or Irish inversions
anymore??

Those that employ, produce goods and invest know the benefits. Sole proprietors with one to five employees, teachers and salaried
folks won't see a direct benefit. But those salaried workers will see the offers on the table and see their increase in benefits or help
with college fees etc. and know that the strength of the economy fueled by pro-business policies is what is driving up wages and
benefits, not some government bureaucrat dictating it.

Get out of the way and let the creators and businessmen run the show and this is what happens.

 

Sole proprietors hire people all the time...

And FWIW, GPs don't make the big bucks.

 

Maybe the trump inauguration scandal does deserve its own thread...

 

Gee, mr. kerryanne is so happy to share stuff like this...

 

1. Doctors have been slammed the last 20 years. Family doctors or GP's don't make much for all of the schooling and training required. Instead, their earnings have been siphoned off by pencil pushers like HMO's, insurance companies etc at the same time they have been buried in regulatory he'll

2. An LLC owning one strip mall and employing one manager gets the 20 percent reduction. National law firms, accounting firms, consulting firms, etc can be huge employing over a thousand employees of all kinds (admin, IT, HR, etc)-- huge job creators that often times pay their employees' health insurance -- didn't get the break.

If you correctly stated the purpose behind the 20 percent break for alternative business entities, they sure missed the boat in how they actually enacted it.

Job creation is not the determing factor.

 

In the State-to-the-Union address, Trump’s warning about congressional investigations shows ‘he’s scared.
​

after Trump threatened not to work with House Democrats on legislation if they move forward with
impending oversight investigations of his conduct and personal finances, as well as alleged corruption
in the administration, Schumer said the president’s words showed that “he’s scared.”

“He’s got something to hide,
Because if he had nothing to hide, he’d just shrug his shoulders and
let these investigations go forward. He’s afraid of them.”​

The profession of physician is the highest paying large position in America and has an unemployment rate below 1/2 of 1% thereby
ensuring lifetime employment. If one looks at lifetime earnings it far surpasses any other profession in America. Its ludicrous when
compared to many other professions like "CEO" as many people work for 30 years and then become a CEO for an average of 3-5 years.

If it was so bad why do Medical School rejection rates continue to rise? Why did 43,000 people attempt to get a residency while less
than 30,000 were able to secure a residency?

I don't begrudge anyone's income, but it is about why a physician can have an inefficient office making people wait for exorbitant times, receive 1 minute of quick in an out service and actually go back? It is because 40 million Americans live in a physician shortage zone.

This is a subject i've researched thoroughly and today we are at a further shortage than we were 20 years ago all due to the conspiring of the Medical Overlords in organized medicine at the AMA, the AAMC etc. to limit the number of residency positions as they said there would be a PHYSICIAN GLUT and over supply. They have for 50 years at every turn attempted to reduce the supply of physicians thereby increasing their incomes and prestige and that has gone hand in hand with the hyper inflation of medical prices in America.

Now not all healthcare prices only a portion are doctor salaries but now they own blood testing, hospice businesses, multi clinics etc so there is a sick twisted incentive to increase the overall use of medicine. The number of knee replacements, carpal tunnel tests, scheduled C-sections and virtually every surgery and test is done at an excruciatingly higher rate at a much higher cost than anywhere in the world.

At the center of this is the power of the individual doctor to make a determination and no large scale process as to how to create low cost, value based healthcare.

I'm not stating anything about you, but your representatives at these associations have bankrupted millions of Americans, stifled innovation and is bankrupting America and placing our businesses and an unfair competitive advantage due to their stronghold on the question of who can practice medicine and their control of licensing and who can practice.

 

I'm not a doctor. I concede I haven't done the research you apparently have but this was not my understanding unless a physician practiced in one of the more lucrative specialties.

 

Sorry, a bit off topic... or is it?

 

Trickle down doesn't work, it is a failed concept.

Yet, stupid people keep falling for it.

DD

 

You would be correct. He's lumping all doctors together and specialists make a ton. Yes there is low unemployment in the positions, but not huge dollars. I've never had a GP make $200k. My lowest ones don't clear $100k. Not good for a job that takes 10-15 years usually to get through education and residency. They are on par with pharmacists.

Specialists on the other hand make significantly more. Dentists and chiropractors have better incomes. I'm amazed anyone bothers becoming a GP given the time and cost involved.

 

Are you local? I may need a new accountant.

 

No, my firm is in GA.

 

Bump!

 

Is there a senate investigation thread?

Looks like schiff isnt confident in mueller anymore.

 

Are you excited because nothing has happened, nothing will happen, that only the people charged so far is it? ?!?!?!??!
Perhaps the indictments are over!!!

What is the bump for? It's so exciting!!

 

Doctors and Dentists are the highest paid profession in America. They also have an unemployment rate below 1/2 of 1% enabling long consistent high earnings. The rates of medical school acceptance have plunged over the last two decades which is proof that people are fighting tooth and nail to get into medicine.

YET.....40 million Americans live over 60 miles from a doctor and even the AAMC says we will have a dire shortage of over 100k+ doctors in the upcoming years.

Why is this? GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS gave union/guild like power to state boards in conjunction with the American Medical Association and AAMC etc which have used their government type power to reduce the number of doctors in the US.

In the 1940's they wouldn't let German jewish doctors practice because you had to be an American Citizen, in 1997 they said there was a physician surplus and pushed congress to cut funding for residency programs which killed the route for foreign doctors and drove salaries up more.

Why do I point this out? Because government power over industry corrupts and those in the industry use it to enrich themselves.

The healthcare market we see today is a reflection of that failure and without governmental control and regulations, the healthcare market would not be bankrupting more people in America than anything else and letting those in the field earn more than any other Americans due to the limited cartel off the backs of the sick.

This is an area that i can continue to go deeper on just sharing that not everything is what it seems.
