[quote=CONCHO]My argument had to do solely with being forced to purchase a federally mandated product or face the risk of sanction.
What about SSDI? That stands for Social Security and Disability INSURANCE. Try not paying it sometime and see what happens to you. It’s not a tax, it is a federal insurance program that we all must comply with by law. You can’t opt out.
The only difference between SSDI and this new healthcare scam is that the money will go straight to corporations rather than into a public trust.[/quote]
CONCHO: You’re right and I agree. I also agree with the use of the word “scam” to describe the new health care bill. This thing is a hot mess and getting worse, as is the situation in Washington.
Now, I know I’ll be accused of partisanship here, but, across the board, things seem to be getting a lot worse and not better. The answer to everything seems to be to allow the Big Government theocrats full rein and just go along with the scam, as the printing presses keep running and Prez Barry assures us, as do Bernanke and the fools in Congress, that all is well and not to fear.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t recall feeling this uneasy about the state of this country.
