It's not a partisan issue. It only becomes political when companies like wal-mart are demonized for doing the right thing.
Walmart is doing the right thing?

Obamacare... SOLD ON A LIE, the numbers, the spin, the unanswered questions. And now we expect Democrats to tell the truth?

QUESTIONS DEMOCRATS WON'T ANSWER
How many who signed up were people who lost their insurance because of Obamacare?
How many who signed up PAID?
You like most Tea Partiers dont even have a horse in this race. Look at the problems the Tea Party outfit Americans For Prosperity has had finding real victims to the ACA. When Ted Cruz asked for victims he got 47,000 responses and almost none were victims. Its pretty tough to be a victim when your on Medicare, Tricare, VA, another govrnment program or private insurance through your employer isnt it?

Default Time To Burn Your Obamacare Card

Remember when the Tea Party had their burn your Obamacare cards rally? It turns out of course their is no such thing as an Obamacare Card. But of course when your base is so out of touch with reality it probably makes sense.





The burn-your-fake-Obamacare-card crowd sounding desperate

Meanwhile in the REAL world, 9.5million Americans who were uninsured now have insurance.

Meanwhile in the REAL world, Americans were standing in line in cities around the nation to gain insurance.

conservatives continue to ignore reality.

How anyone who thinks that those of us, who are now paying up the ass for dead heads, did you really think we wouldn't complain.

The middle class is being torn to pieces in the name of loads on society, so be it. Enjoy the slavery you voted for.
What's even more amazing these people that are forced to sign up thinknothing about disclosing their personal information. The Federal gov is to be controlled and watched.

No good will come from Obama Care"

Welfare and insurance are completely different entities.

Just when you think you have seen the absolute height of hypocrisy someone comes along to show you depths you never imagined.
I truly wish the IRS would enforce whole-heartedly the previous sensible requirements which differentiated employees from contractors. At one point, there were 10 rules distinguishing them, and violating any one made the "consultant" an employee, with all back taxes and penalties due.

So what wage would be "fair" in your opinion? $10.10 an hour like President Obama proposes?

Unless I'm mistaken, we don't even know what line of work he is in. He could very well pay his employees a "fair" wage and they still qualify for subsidies.
