This business of handing out “subsidies” (undoubtedly to those who are politically favored) is disgusting and totally un-American.
These are not just subsidies, these are "Tax Subsides" administered by the government to 'level the field' of income disparity.
After 32 illegal repair jobs done on ObamaCare, not included in the original legislation, I have quit counting the changes.
With this administration , I am tired of playing "Whack-a-Mole" with their Cloward-Piven agenda.
If looked at from Obama & Company’s perspective, the penalties for not having the medical insurance make sense.
Many in the middle class, particularly the petit bourgeois, simply cannot afford the premiums, and they appear to be increasing, rather than becoming more affordable.
They do not qualify for the `subsidies’ (`free’), so they go uninsured, risking bankruptcy.
The socialists have always wanted a `class-free’ society. They hope to accomplish this goal by doing away with the middle classes—the bourgeois, the kulaks, those who have no need of masters—by warring against them.
They and like minded pols do this by penalizing Americans who cannot afford the insurance by extorting a payment for being unable to afford the insurance they would like to have, but cannot afford because they are productive, if not prosperous, and ineligible for `subsidies’ like that portion of the electorate the Democratic party has in its pocket.
[Related, while not entirely on point, is an immigration policy destructive of the middle class, shared by both parties.]
History demonstrates what happens following institution of a “dictatorship of the people”—stark stratification of society. The model of a triangle standing on its tip, with more people at the top exercising power and with fewer as you get to the bottom: the pure democratic model, is stood on its base—as the statists see it, the natural order of things with a very select few (an inner party, if you will) exercising real power.
This kind of thinking, power to “those who know” goes back to Plato’s time. An important part of his agenda was having people turn over their children to himself and others like him for schooling, and the Greeks understandably told him to `fuggedaboutit’.
Restating what we all know:
In sum, the `Affordable Care’ (and Patient Privacy: we haven’t repercussions of this half of the act yet) act is an entirely unAmerican and undemocratic pipe-dream made real by hardcore statists pursuing a much larger totalitarian agenda.
