A little redistribution[LOL isn't that like being a little bit pregnant?] won’t suddenly transform the United States into a failed, Soviet-style “workers’ paradise.” But as health costs creep up to, say, 25 percent of national income, things get more complicated. Americans would see their tax bills more than double, while total taxes could reach 75 percent of many Europeans’ income.
