What is this world coming to when you can't fire your workers and hire displaced workers or some illegals, in order to cut down on wages, health care, retirement, other costs, OSHA compliance, and, worst of all, unionization? Y'all ought to be thinking more about the 0.01% next time - you hear?
Take a look at the chart in this Bloomberg article charting wage growth and healthcare costs: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-09-28/health-care-costs-ate-your-pay-raises Probably the best case for single payer is the lack of wage growth due to rising health care costs. Surprisingly the largest rise in health care costs were the late 90s/early 2000s. But if wage growth is stagnant for everyone but the wealthy, then taxes on the wealthy are clearly much too low.
Here is how I know that companies like SpaceX are not hiring "the best and brightest" (from afar): their senior VP testified in front of the US Congress and presented to them an Excel chart. http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/rockets/a27290/one-chart-spacex-dominate-rocket-launches/
I guess because the statue of liberty is a symbol of lefty snowflakes right now due to the immigration issue?
What point are you trying to make here? Elon Musk himself is a 1st generation legal immigrant, and if SpaceX's employee demographics is anything like NASA or other various space & energy national labs it probably employs a large # of 1st generation legal immigrant as well.
So what if he is a first-generation immigrant? The senior VP of SpaceX presented an Excel chart to congress. That is wrong on so many levels.
So that was what in your head when you respond? As usual, you too easily connect things that are nothing more than either your flaw assumptions or your intent to change subject.
Was the graph poorly labeled/hard to understand or interept? If it's just not pretty enough, you know the top consulting firms outsource their deck cleaning right? Are you supporting outsourcing overseas?

It is an Excel chart that is too simple and relies on the default settings. I'm not the only one with that opinion: http://junkcharts.typepad.com/junk_charts/2017/07/another-simple-excel-chart-needs-help.html What the hell does any of that have in the least-bit to do with anything being discussed? Are you trying to say that you are incapable of making anything other than an Excel chart to the point that you have to "offshore" your work to India?
