The Washington, DC managing editor at Fox News appears to be caught red-handed in the art of spinning.
As the health care debate was reaching a high point last year, a leaked e-mail shows Bill Sammon asked his news department to refer to the public option as the "government run option."
Later that evening, Fox News flagship news program, Special Report with Bret Baier, used the very phrase Sammon had requested.
"If you call it a 'public option,' the American people are split," Luntz said. "If you call it the 'government option,' the public is overwhelmingly against it."
"It's a great point, and from now on, I'm going to call it the government option," Hannity replied.
Luntz also claimed that the "government option" would be "sponsored by the government." In fact, the proposed public option bills would have funded the program with the fees paid by those who enrolled in it.

Your first point. Deciding that gaining education means automaticaly that you have a right to be paid more than people who are going to wind up with osteoperosis later in life because they do menial and hard labour for a job, is not socialy responsible.
Social responsibilty dictates that from a moral point of veiw, everyone is equal regardless of academic achievement or capability , because it is being human that makes us important, not what we know, or what we do. Therefore everyone should be paid according to their equality , i.e. the same cash amount. NO ONE is worth more than a steel worker, a bus driver, a burger flipper, or a cab driver. No matter how smart , or how good at BSing people into part with thier money.
