What's cheaper: euthanizing everyone who is over 65, has under an 80 IQ, weighs over 350 lbs., etc to save money and increase efficiency, or to keep them alive and burden the taxpayer with chronic health problems?

This is such an easy question that someone who voted for Obama should be able to answer it correctly. Unfortunately, it also presents a dilemma since most Obama voters fall dangerously close to that sub 80 IQ zone.

Some people went up to Obama supporters and said Obama was anti-abortion, pro-life, for lower taxes and such and asked Obama supporters if they were for that and they all were. LOL

You can find a few on the right like that, but you can find a massive amount of Democrats like that. It would be funny if it were not so sad. People like that actually vote.
True, and shameful.

ACORN rooted out tons of them, hustled them to the polls, and showed them how to vote.

Probably one of the best videos/audios is when Stern sent one of his guys to Harlem.

Nice try there to think government is subsidizing business only.
employer paid insurance premiums are expenses paid from gross profits.
One is allowed to deduct expenses and it includes more than just employee insurance premiums.
Yes.
Yes.
No.

I never stated business had a monopoly on deductions.

The federal government supports the provision of employee health benefits through preferential tax provisions in the Internal Revenue Code. The employer's health care contribution is a deductible business cost similar to wages and materials.

So... are you being deliberately disingenuous? Or are you going to just blame your accountant for keeping you in the dark?

Strawman argument. The "what's cheaper?" logic is used by those who find personal irresponsibility a virtue. The real question should not be "what's cheaper?" but "When are people going to start acting responsibily without leaning on taxpayers??"

Why does this logic go right over your head?

My personal belief is that only democrats should be allowed free birth control and they should also be allowed to have free abortions. Even post birth for the first 60 years of life.

I'm not for Uncle Sugar provided birth control, but it seems that conservatives should be celebrating as there'll be fewer future Democrat voters.

Take responsibility for your own self people.
Contraceptives are cheaper than beer, snacks, sodas, and a lot of other things I'm sure these people do not go without but yet cry, "buy my contraceptive pills/devices".

Sick.
What are you kidding, the way Democrats like it, helpless no responsibility what so ever, and dependent . That should be the Democrat Motto.

Too many people today, don't believe in taking responsibility for their actions, why should i have to pay for their stupidity.

If you can afford your cell phone, you can afford contraceptives!
