  "Hillary Clinton is now attacking single-payer health care as a way to bring Bernie down. “Bernie Sanders has called for a roughly 9-percent tax hike on middle-class families just to cover his health-care plan,” said Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon today.

  The Clinton campaign must be referring to single-payer legislation Bernie introduced in 2013, which was to be paid for by a 2.2 percent income tax across the board and a 6.7 percent payroll tax for employers. But even assuming that payroll tax increase would be paid for by workers, calling it a “9 percent tax hike” leaves out the savings average workers would get from a single-payer system. Because single payer would be far cheaper than today's private-insurance system, average workers would still come out far ahead of where they are today.

  What really concerns me about Hillary’s tactic here is that this kind of faux analysis makes it harder for any future president – including Hillary Clinton herself, if she’s elected – to propose a single-payer healthcare system."

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...but don't put them in my backyard: over half of U.S. governors are now saying they will refuse Syrian refugees after Paris. Not only would their refusal be unconstitutional, it's illogical: so far, all the identified Paris attackers are EU nationals. In the 14 years since 9/11, domestic right-wing extremists have killed more innocents in the U.S. than jihadists. Meanwhile, violent anti-Muslim sentiment continues to rise, with insidious consequences. All Paris Attackers Identified So Far Are European Nationals, According To Top EU Official No, State Governors Can’t Refuse To Accept Syrian Refugees More than half a dozen state governors have come out against President Obama’s plans to relocate several thousand Syrian refugees within the United States. Some have pledged to actively resist settlement of these refugees. Texas Gov.
