Alaska Darin Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Your taxes will be going up next year when the Bush tax cuts expire. You can count on that. And again when the bill for "Health Care" starts coming due. I mean, there's no way insurance companies could possibly pass on the costs of the uninsured to people who already pay their bills, right?

ExiledInIllinois Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I don't care which politician it came from, I can't afford it any more. I haven't have even a cost of living raise in four years. I don't mean less than, I mean nothing. Gas goes up, electric goes up, food costs go up, etc. But my wages haven't gone up. Too bad, get used to it... You have to compete with the guy overseas making 1/10 of what you are making. You know that "giant sucking sound" that H. Ross Perot mentioned??

Booster4324 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Your taxes will be going up next year when the Bush tax cuts expire. You can count on that. I think they are proposing to extend the middle class tax cuts. Obviously nothing is decided yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, there's no way insurance companies could possibly pass on the costs of the uninsured to people who already pay their bills, right? Obviously they haven't done a good job of explaining this new bill for you. Look. Rates are going to go down, on average, $2500 per family, starting tomorrow. Because when you get everyone covered with health care insurance, then everyone is participating. I think we all know that when everyone participates, rates go down because more people are covered. And they're covered because they're participating, and what makes rates go down? That's right...everyone participating. Look. Now that it's passed, you'll see what's in it, and by the end of October, you're gonna love this plan. Just love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were wrong on the war and the WMD's. Remember? You and the others here were banging that drum in late 2002 and early 2003... Thought "our soldiers were going to get gassed crossing into Iraq." How did that turn out? My point? You suck at predicting... So do all the other "experts" and self-proclaimed know it alls around here. Hey, gotta hand it to you guys... Batting .000 and still swinging for the fences! You and many others were wrong about that (the war)... What makes you so right about healthcare? Let's wait and see before all the Chicken Littles declare the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 That's flawed logic. Ya... Of course... Talk to me when you guys can actually predict something right. I sense a lot of fear in the tone in some. And that isn't fear about the country going to hell in a hand basket. It is fear that their self-interest over the sake of helping/benefitting others is under attack. No doubt that there is a lot of assuming going on here. For now LA better stick to predicting the outcome of the Bills season record. People like him have a better chance at getting that right. The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! What you're going to be going through, I already lived through it. I live in a country that has NHS. My oldest brother who needed a doctor for a checkup was rejected by every family doctor he knew. His solution, pay 1000$ to get a checkup from the now semi-private clinics. How great that someone who probably contributes more to income/sales tax in a year because of the substantially higher tax bracket also has a little side charge to get some decent health care. Care to explain that? Who's predicting anything? It's already happened, just not where you live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're an idiot for thinking those are mutually exclusive. It's entirely possible to want to act in one's own self interest while helping others, or to want to help others without making a half-assed government program out of it, for that matter. "Not wanting the government to take care of people" is not the same as "not wanting to take care of people". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 "Not wanting the government to take care of people" is not the same as "not wanting to take care of people". To a liberal, they are EXACTLY the same. We're all too stupid to take care of ourselves. Only the government can save us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Republicans are loyal only to the Republican States of America, and getting elected and staying there (and so everything revolves around elections). Some politicians do actually try to help the whole country from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
