Stone them! Oh no a Republican just got laid off! Ewwww you are lowlife now. Shun them!
Yep, I was democrat and thought like you losers at one time. It GOT ME NO WHERE! It was when I understood conservative values and lived my life accordingly that my life changed for the better... Much MUCH better.
So yes, maybe a stone might KNOCK SOME SENSE INTO YOU TOO.
When there are more takers emtying the cookie jar than those filling it, you have another program like Medicare and Social Security that is $35 Trillion(At least) dollars each, behind in unfunded liabilities!!
Medicare was established almost 50 years ago. Since inception, it needed a subsidy from general revenues/deficit spending. The first Medicare card was issued to former president Truman who had not paid a dime into it and had no financial hardship. Hundreds of millions followed.
Payroll taxes earmarked for Medicare were never pegged to the cost of Medicare, let alone inflation.
Medicare part D, prescription drug, ( A Republican initiative) became law in 2003, just 7 years before the first baby boomers began to turn 65 at a rate of 10,000 a day. No cut to government spending offset the new benefit. No increase in payroll taxes offset the benefit. Congress rewarded the Big Pharma lobby and refused to allow Medicare to negotiate the price of prescription medications. Instead, it's all deficit spending.
All along, Congress has put their own best interests before those of the country.
Conspiracy theories with zero evidence to back your claim.
In other words, same ole same ole.
I already sourced my claim, I'm sorry its difficult for you to follow along with the thread like other adults.

And here we have it ladies and gentlement.. The liberal answer.. Government isnt greedy by taxing people trillions of dollars, but businesses, who are expected to earn a profit, thus to pay taxes, are greedy because they have to compete in the environment setup by government..
As if you're somehow entitled to crap...
As I said, you guys can keep talking because the more you talk, the easier it is to show everyone the menality of the lefties who think everything is yours, but you cant seem to answer one basic answer..
HOW IS IT PAID FOR...
Odd, you couldnt answer that question before, but now you expect businesses to pay for it, without telling us where the money is coming from..

Social Security won't be there for me EVEN THOUGH I PAID INTO IT. See how the government runs things.
Maybe the money won't be there for the losers when they need healthcare.

Its not a conspiracy theory to try to understand how financially strapped families will just come up with (or dare I say, save up) $2k extra to pay for this.
