You guys are proficient at arguing with me even when I agree with you.
Iirc demea is against Obamacare (at least as its currently structured)
Just as Planned.

Then think of positive! Instead of penalized for not doing it, you are being rewarded for doing it! (Problem solved!)

This...
This reminds me of a conversation that I had with one of my Chinese friends about China's law on multiple children. I can't say if it's accurate, but her explanation was that you can have as many children as you want. If you live in the city, you will get taxed/fined for having more than one child and rewarded for having only one child. If you live in the country, you are not penalized. Alternatively, a friend of mine living in Japan said that the government and society promote sex due to their low birth rates and high death rates. No one likes to be told what to do (unless you're just lazy), but sometimes the scenario doesn't show any promising alternatives.

My taxes will not go down because of this bill, ergo I'm not being rewarded in any way for having health insurance, but rather avoiding a penalty. Which is how the law was written. Which, bringing us full circle, is why it's complete ******** to label the individual mandate a "tax."

Hm. So if they introduced a tax in a separate bill and then, in another, offered a tax break to anyone who got insurance, that would be acceptable? The net effect of the two bills could be the same as this one, but it would pass your test. Even if there were otherwise good reasons to hold the two could not be introduced in the same bill (there definitely aren't, taxes are never unconditionally applicable) and you hadn't just pulled it from your ***** one might conclude it would be pointless to do so. It doesn't serve to restrict the government's power in any meaningful way. Do you see the loophole in your arbitrary stipulation?

That's nonsense. I link to Mother Jones to prove that you hate poor people.

Will I be able to buy insurance directly from the government? The only issue i have would be paying a tax for not giving money to a private company. I live in the US and would be OK with paying them, but I don't think any company should make a profit just because I'm alive.

Better stop buying food, water, electricity, shelter, internet service, televisions, and all other forms of consumer products, then!

Taxed when I buy, taxed when I don't. This is seriously cutting into my hookers and blow fund.

Over-all tax rates are not anything remarkable at the moment.

Posted: Jul 02 2012 at 1:26 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) No need to project your lack of an ability to sagaciously differentiate common use of words and phrases. It's blatantly obvious that I'm right or most of the thread is also wrong. Then again, I'm aware that I'm just your entertainment, which only negates the previous "movements" of wanting me gone.
Because I was afraid to speak, when I was just a lad
My father gave me nose a tweak and told me I was bad
But then one day I learned a word that saved me achin’ nose
The biggest word I ever heard!
And this is how it goes: Oh...

False, but don't let common sense spoil your delusions. You never have before.

Oh, so most of this thread is AGAINST Obamacare?
Are you implying that the people on this thread are incapable of realizing that a word with multiple meanings can be used in different ways and that one definition doesn't necessarily negate the other?
So, I guess that most people on this thread love paying thousands of dollars for insurance only to still have to pay a deductible, with possibly higher insurance rates?
Ha.. If anyone is dwelling in illusory thoughts, 'tis you. Don't let this forum's ability to transform any thread into a tumultuous thread against me deceive you.

I think the 50s version of Hookers and Blow was Caffeine pills and a hand job.
Never regret.To regret is to assume.
