Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]
Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

Posted on 01/25/2010 11:27:02 PM PST by JustPiper

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded.

Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.

I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

Communism- Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism-Trotskyism-Maoism- Hoxhaism-Hoxhaism-Titoism ETC

furthermore, you know whenever they hold a pep rally, it is actually staged as a pseudo victory celebration -— even when they know they don’t have victory. We need the facts, and we just don’t have any updated facts yet.

from Dinah Lord on LIVE thread

Geez - and this ‘‘UNEARNED INCOME MEDICARE
CONTRIBUTION’’ will apply to the sale of your primary residence as well.

Paul Ryan making the point that this will set back the real estate recovery even more.

Annuities? Bend over.

“The tax rate would climb by .9 points to 3.8 percent for earned income above the thresholds, up from the current 2.9 percent rate. And the full 3.8 percent tax would be applied to unearned income, such as interest and dividends, above the threshold amounts.”

This is my Sabbath Day. I should have just gone out and sat in the sunshine. But NOOOOOO. I thought GOD would prefer I be informed and ready to take up my banner. That will teach me.

“We are bound by an inescapable garment of mutuality: Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Letter from the Birmingham Jail, 1962After the American colonists’ petition to King George III for political representation in Parliament was rejected, Thomas Jefferson drafted a declaration of independence from England that will forever be celebrated for its proclamation that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, key among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
