I would love to get a 1000 gallon gas tank.

I have mandatory car insurance.
Should I thank the insurance lobbyists?

I don't think so.

They lobbied the government to make it a requirement for everyone to pay and the cost of insurance never went down and has only continued to go up to pad the pockets at the top.

The same thing will happen with mandatory healthcare. Costs will not go down with everybody now paying and the fat cats at the top and the investors on Wall Street will pad their pockets.

Anytime someone is lobbying government, it is to pad the pockets at the top with the propaganda talking point that it is for the people below them.

It is not much different than those lawsuits against corporations you receive in the mail where you get a check for 2 bucks and 90% of the settlements end up in the lawyers pockets.

Our country has become one big scam on how to bilk others of their productivity and money.

We should have a government for all people but what we have now, I would rather disband it and start over with a small limited government.

Then repeat the cycle every 50 years to shake off the Psychopaths.

You thank them when you pay your insurance bill.

As if I have a choice since it is mandatory?

If I had a choice, I would not be thanking them, let me tell you.

What about Blue Cross / Blue Shield?

Yes, an insurance company lobbying politicians that I am against.

When it comes time to use it, they wiggle their way out of paying as I have heard many times.

They don't exist for their members but for their top chiefs and investors

Same as it ever was.

They were very high on the amount of money they paid to lobbyists.

Do you mind if I ask.......are you in a union???
