The latter point is the most important.

This is Jimmy Carter for the Millenial Generation.

That is correct, it doesn't matter how much he makes, he cannot get his own police force, fire department, EMT, district attorney, roads, and so on and so on, so he is clearly not making his own way in the world when he relies on things he cannot pay for personally. If you are making more than him, then you are in fact paying for him and other entitled leeches as his party likes to say, for these things he is not capable of getting on his own. If you make less than him, then he thinks of you as an entitled leech. That's how members of that party think of others, as entitled leeches, yet they use socialized government services in their time of need and in every day life. But I do agree with you, I do not want to pay to give him a phone, car and anything else people want but don't need, but I am willing to give him government cheese, basic housing and health care that people need.

Lol, really? Justice? Just what do you think is going to "happen" to people you don't think you like? Nothing. At least nothing more than what happens to you personally.

I am looking into off shore plans outside of Obama care. I have no answers or details at the moment, but I refuse anything to do with this BS plan.
Right.

The omissions from the media are glaring.

At the current path, I'm sure you're aware that Medicare and Social Security are on track to fail, correct?

I'm a CPA so I have at least some knowledge of this. If I were to audit the US Government's financial statements I would expect $60 trillion of liabilities, not $16 trillion.

Right, repubs?



7 million minimum signed up are needed to just "break even".

How many so far?

The legislation is absolutely ridiculous. My company is laying some of our admin people off because of it, and asking them to become independent contractors. The hilarious thing in all of this, is that prenatal care is now a minimum requirement...even for men.

Then they start talking about going to the casino after their appointment and playing the slots. Old people kill me sometimes.




Do not the poorest among us play the Lottery the most?

We thought up the law. I'd remember that before you go throwing stones.





I had a 65% increase this year.

Never had anything remotely close to that before.....ever.
