$19,000,000,000.00

That is $19,000,000,000.00 that will be taken by the government, from small business owners, and given to those who have less. That is $19,000,000,000.00 that the small business owners will not have to pay employees and their health care benefits. That means that people who work them will get paid less and have to pay more for their health care package. Once more taking from those who produce and giving to those who do not.

Senate Dems OK to repeal small part of health law

(AP) – 50 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats don't plan to join the House in voting to repeal the massive new health care law, but they do want to eliminate a small portion of the law that is unrelated to health care.

Three Senate Democrats wrote House Speaker John Boehner Thursday, asking him to pass a bill repealing a new tax filing requirement for businesses. Starting in 2012, nearly 40 million U.S. businesses would have to file tax forms for every vendor that sells them more than $600 in goods.

The provision is expected to raise $19 billion over the next decade, to help pay for the health care law. Senators Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Maria Cantwell of Washington and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, said the Senate would act quickly if the House repeals the provision.

    Like I said in a previous thread what Obama is using is a bastardized version of Socialism. Socialism was never meant to be what progressivism has created where immigrants and crack whores are literally being paid to have kids. This is the issue I have with what the left is doing. They dont require anybody to do their part in order to receive the benefits.

    There is just a little bit more to the law than that JR. Why don't you go play with your website?

    That was a serious question actually. What about requiring people to purchase services from private companies is socialist? That would be considered a corporatist or fascist policy.

    As far as I'm concerned there should be absolutely NO PROFIT whatsoever when it comes to people's health.

    If that makes me a socialist, I don't really give a fuck.

    I think your missing my point. I would support a Socialist system but what this country is working towards is not Socialism. What Obama supports and is trying for is a product of idiots like Bill Ayers who follow a fucked up version of Socialism that is alien to what people like Marx and Lenin talked about. The Social Marxism of these people is Marxist only in name.

    I have explained to you a dozen times that socialism won't work and why. What Obama is doing is continuing the socialization of the U.S. It has taken place over a long period of time in small steps, many of which neither of us was alive to witness. But you hang on to your utopian dream while the rest of the world live with the reality of human greed.

    At a first glance, maybe, but when the goverment takes its slice - insurance taxes, taxes on healthcare companies, taxes on employees etcetera and creates a class of citizens that are employed in the administration of healthcare - these citizens vote for any administration that promises to keep them in work.

    Make no mistake - any state mandated economy that creates a class of workers with a vested interest in keeping those in power in power is socialism.

    The basic tenents of socialism are a state controlled economy and a single political ideology.

    I give you the grease, but you must make your own wheels turn.
