The federal government is spending over $45,000 PER FAMILY of 4 in the USA, clearly somethings wrong, but its not the people, nor is it businesses, many of which are struggling due to all of this excess spending.
But then you dont live here, isnt it wonderful you can play wa wa wa, you should spend more, all the way over there where the policies have absolute no effect on you?
Not sure I recall telling anyone to spend more, just maybe be a bit more fair, or maybe curb the greed a bit. Speaking of, I also don't recall calling you greedy personally, but rather asked why people support and blindly defend those that are. The reason why I follow how things go over in the U$, is because as an American citizen, it hurts me to see the once great America I used to love, and enlisted to serve, become so bad,so quickly.

If you say people wanting to keep their money is greed, (what an asinine thought process one must have to come to that conclusion) then what exactly do you suppose they do with their money?
Liberalism. See the OP if you want to understand how utterly worthless the ideology really is. Failed people following a failed social construct. I feel sorry that so many people are of such low intelligence.
For Mr. Diddams, the solution is unfortunately to cut the hours of his non-management employees below 30 per week, so that they are no longer covered by the law.
The majority of non management retail and restaurant employees have always been part time workers.
Health care plans are compensation for work, like salary.
Healthcare shouldn't be like salary:

What does it say about a political philosophy when all one can come up with in the context of a thread like this is spewing self-aggrandizing and self-gratifying nonsense about the intelligence of others? We're all equally intelligent here, as far as you know - we different only in morality, i.e., whether we care only about our own selves, or whether we practice moral consideration for others as per the golden rule.

ACA is not healthcare. It's health INSURANCE.
There is no guarantee of any CARE in that bill.
ACA is government mandated, subsidized health insurance.
Another great example of the self-centered myopia suffered by those who actively oppose economic justice. Steve Diddams couldn't fathom the fact that his other 80 employees are no different from his managerial employees in terms of their healthcare needs and that of the families that they support. There is no excuse - none - for treating his hourly worker as sub-humans, as he is. He is still able to pay them differently - it's about time that we no longer allow him to treat them differently with regard to healthcare.
Needs =/= compensation. Not every worker is worth that much compensation.
Healthcare compensation is just that. Free Market health care is just another part of the free market. If you want to socialize health care and offer it for everyone, then that part of the market becomes socialism. Not something a number of people want in this country.
