Works the same way with "make the rich pay their fair share." People want coverage for everyone, but they do not want to pay the costs associated with it. They just want to defer the cost to others. Remember, the same person in this thread that states that everyone should be covered is also the same person complaining about the costs.

Your employees are not getting the same benefits as other NYS citizens and that is unfair to your employees. Your insurance is not as good as the government, which means that you are socially responsible to increase the coverage for your employees. Take the money out of your profits and increase your employee's coverage. The government has upped their standards, so up yours.

Yeah, soaking the taxpayers for things you are too cheap to provide to your employees is a bad thing.

So, you are not providing the same coverage as the government? You need to change that and stop being so cheap with your employees. Take the money out of your pocket and donate it to your employees. It is the socially responsible thing to do.

She has a D after her name, so you need to just let it go. We need to focus on taking down Republicans. It is easier than providing solutions in order to win elections.

So that we can soak the rich into paying more to support everyone else. That, and you can increase taxes. Increasing taxes has always been beneficial to the economy. Yeah, Big Government. The solution to all problems.

You can start by eliminating the need to everyone to pay for someone to go to the emergency room because they have the sniffles. You can also eliminate the entitlement mentality that is flooding our society. Both are items which reduce the burden on everyone else. As was mentioned previously in this thread, as long as people are willing to work for lower wages and no benefits, why the hell would a company give this stuff away? It makes no sense in our economy. When they cannot keep the workers due to the salaries or benefits, they will need to increase one or both to get people to work there. Simple market economics, which requires NO government intervention. Increasing the size of government or increasing the tax burden always results in disaster. Personal responsibility is a good thing. We should try it sometime.

It will happen when the left finally realizes that the "it happened on his watch, so it is his fault" stuff is wrong. It goes both ways.

Let me guess, you do not (or have never) run your own business. Anyone who has would absolutely shutter at this notion. The government cannot (nor should not) dictate how a company runs their business, what benefits they provide their employees, etc. The problem is with the government forcing companies under new regulations, you are now paying for the company to supply the insurance (through higher prices) and paying the government (through higher taxes) to make sure the company is providing the insurance and providing the insurance at what the government feels is fair. Nothing like increasing the size of government to do something that should be strictly in the private sector. How can it be cost effective if the government is involved? It is not like they have a history of doing things properly. The companies will be forced to provide government mandated insurance. The government will need to determine what type of insurance and how much insurance to provide. This is an absolutely scary thought.

Very good points. Adding health insurance is going to raise the price of goods. People do not realize that they are the ones who will be paying for this. I guess they theought the "rich" will be paying for it. Government should NEVER be involved in forcing companies to supply health insurance. The market dictates salaries and benefits. Nobody is forcing people to work at Walmart. If they do not like the salary or the benefits package, try getting another job. You control your destiny, not the federal government. If you are relying on someone else to get you what you need, it is your fault, not the government.

Yup. Seeing the level of idiocy from the Dems recently, it is definitely plausible.

It was fun messing with the libertards this weekend in D.C.

Nope. I have my own system. How are you doing, sweetie?

I am still shocked that the Dems are not blaming the hurricane on Karl Rove. This is probably the only thing they have not blamed on him.

Same here. Woohoo!!!!

Reporters/journalists are inherently lazy. They report what is spoon-fed to them.

The Libertarians would be looking pretty good at that point, wouldn't they.

Ed doesn't provoke the dogs, like BiB. That is why Ed has never been attacked.

Yup.

Well done, grasshopper. You might make a good research assistant, after all.

Did you find the pics I was talking about, regarding yesterday's BoTD?

It is not a private club. It is public, but you are expected to abide by rules determined by SDS. The problem arises when people think the rules only apply to everyone else and they feel that the rules do not apply to them. When you register, you agree to abide by these rules or face disciplinary action.

North Korea, namely from a political/negotiating perspective.

That's after I get in office.

Ummm....I will not be able to make it this weekend...ummmm....other plans...
