Ironically, what I see as far and away the most anti-physician stance by far was taken by Schwarzenegger in California, tagging a 2% tax on doctors specifically. I can't think of another example of when a job title was specifically taxed extra by the government.

Lol, in light of this proposal, I propose that chiropractors, veterinarians, economics Phds, podiatrists, etc in california should all be considered doctors.

I find it comforting that the majority of MBA's still only make 5 figures

honestly, makes me a little better inside too. Doctor's shouldn't be embarressed by how much money they make. Most MBA's couldn't handle anatomy.

Heres' a thought, how about the slipping status and professionalism of the New York Times? I still trust my doctor. I haven't trusted the NYT for years. (Hell, I've even met a lawyer or two that I trust.)
