Healthcare bill increases self employment tax, adds new 3.8% tax to new gains

In that article it does say that the "president of the business-backed Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation" disagrees with the Treasurer.

Also, according to Scott "socialist?" Brown and Mitt "bleeding heart?" Romney the financial problems were because Governor Patrick eliminated a cost and quality commission, not because of the actual health care system as it was when they passed it.

Not the only thing that was changed in MA. once the libs got a hold of the legislation, they screwed the whole thing up (to be expected though).
 


Nevermind the bullshit regarding the healthcare bill, the fact that congress is attempting to cover their ass by using esoteric parliamentary procedures to "not actually vote on it".
 
My mistake. I thought the whole healthcare debate going on in the US was about providing universal coverage to everyone? Why are most Americans on wickedfire so adamantly opposed to helping your fellow countrymen in their time of need? And on yet another point, why do you think that private companies would be screwing you any less than a government run healthcare system? Hell, I sure know I wouldn't want a company that is set up to profit choosing the "right" (read: cheapest) healthcare for me.

I just know I'll get some green rep for this!

Cause we are fuckin broke! How hard is it for you kids to understand that if you don't have the money to pay for it you can't buy it.

Moodys issued a statement this week warning of the possibility of the US losing their credit rating. They also warned of possilbe social unrest in the future. Yea lets spend some more money that we don't have! You do understand what social unrest is right?
 
When you're making enough money - it doesn't matter. Nobody I know will be hitting the breadlines because of this...

big yawn
 
My wife was flipping channels tonight and we stopped on Wanda Sykes show for 20 seconds to see what kind of crap she had to say and first thing she says is how people don't like this bill b/c they are racist. No joke. It was not part of a bit. It was her straight up saying it and believing it. And people actually cheered.

Like we were racist when all the other white presidents tried to pass this crap already 3-4 times...

How can people like this even be allowed to show their faces in public?

More liberal bullshit from Sykes.

Ah yes, another "I don't care, but I care enough to post for attention" comment.

Mises said:
No one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interests of everyone hang on the result.

How about another very relevant Mises quote:

Mises said:
In fact, however, the supporters of the welfare state are utterly anti-social and intolerant zealots. For their ideology tacitly implies that the government will exactly execute what they themselves deem right and beneficial. They entirely disregard the possibility that there could arise disagreement with regard to the question of what is right and expedient and what is not. They advocate enlightened despotism, but they are convinced that the enlightened despot will in every detail comply with their own opinion concerning the measures to be adopted. They favour planning, but what they have in mind is exclusively their own plan, not those of other people. They want to exterminate all opponents, that is, all those who disagree with them. They are utterly intolerant and are not prepared to allow any discussion. Every advocate of the welfare state and of planning is a potential dictator. What he plans is to deprive all other men of all their rights, and to establish his own and his friends' unrestricted omnipotence. He refuses to convince his fellow-citizens. He prefers to "liquidate" them. He scorns the "bourgeois" society that worships law and legal procedure. He himself worships violence and bloodshed.
 
Ah yes, another "I don't care, but I care enough to post for attention" comment.

I don't care. But you already know that don't you? However, every now and again, I am drawn to these discussions because despite being an ideologue I do sincerely believe you possess superior intelligence.

I'm not being facetious here either.

I just can't fathom why you waste your time with the cognitively slothful and the intellectually handicapped.

You do realize once I hit the log off button, it's back to reality right?

Anyway, carry on.....

You don't care, but you care enough to post.

You're claiming irrationality (means which contradict your ends) then? More cognitive dissonance.

This is another example of a failure to understand the paradigm. You claim to want to use the internet as a medium for sales and networking, but then backhand it as a fantasy space where reality does not exist or that you only come online to troll, then go back to the real world where presumably you get more, and/or have more value as a person.

You would do well to watch Gary Vaynerchuk's video from the Web 2.0 Expo about being sincere, creating value and putting your market first.

In other words, if this isn't your market why are you here, and if it is, why do you crap in your own backyard?

That question is rhetorical.

...That was actually a good video. To be honest, I was just being a smart ass. I really don't hold any ill will towards you.

My point is simply if you care about your own personal brand you would yourself think twice about the idiot company that you keep.

Basically what I'm saying is that for the most part those of us with even a farthing of intellectual curiosity start drooling at the keyword after about 5 minutes of these political conversations that generally boil down to

"Obama's the anti christ"
"It's the socialists' fault"
"The gays did it"
"The black welfare mothers did it"
"Europeans are pussies"

Let's see what else....
That's it really. Having said that, I do get a tickle out of being flamed by cognitive peons who foam at the mouth at some of my comments whereas I really do honestly turn my attention to important matters when I hit the log off button.

Thanks for the video....
