    ObamaCare Lives!!!!!

    http://www.scotusblog.com/2012/06/todays-health-care-decision-in-plain-english/

    Quote
    The centerpiece of the challenge to the Affordable Care Act was the so-called individual mandate – the requirement that almost all Americans buy health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty.  Defending the constitutionality of the mandate, the government’s primary argument was that Congress can require everyone to buy health insurance using its power under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, because the failure to buy insurance shifts the costs of health care for the uninsured to health-care providers, insurance companies, and everyone who does have health insurance.

    Don't see why it's such a big deal. States can mandate things like car insurance or ID cards. Just because it's the federal government doesn't seem like it's all that different to me.  Huh?

    It has to do with what the Federal government can do.  One issue was non activity i.e. forcing you to buy something just because.  For instance with car insurance, you can only be mandated to buy it if you have a car, not in general.  The court went against that idea, so the idea that the government can't force you to buy something by penalizing you if you don't get it was struck down.  The mandate passed because they construed it as a tax i.e.  a levy on everyone, but those with private insurance get a tax exemption, kind of like people who buy a house get a credit on their taxes.  It's a technical issue, but it passed.  

    Republicans/conservatives are confirmed furious and so election season is going to be more interesting

    A mandate isn't a good thing, where do you draw the line when people have to buy health insurance? What will happen to health insurance when everyone needs to get it? It will become more expensive, and quality will go down. Obamacare should have been struck down by the Supreme Court, it might be constitutional but it's not just! Obama is one of the shittest presidents ever, if not the shittest. Romney need to kick this law out when he gets elected, at least he's pro American business unlike this communist Obama.

    My first son will be called Reagan, I admire President Reagan allot. But capitalism is basically democracy, the voters are us the consumer. If we buy the product and like it, we vote for it again by buying again. We should be the only regulators not government. socialism/communism it's the same thing.

    Let's cut the crap out, "socialism is just social and communism is both economic and social". C'mon what does that mean, my money. Is my money. What gives government the right to take my money call it taxes and give it to some fool who should be working. Instead of fathering 6 children with 6 different women. Look at Greece, Portugal, Spain etc etc. all had democratic socialist regimes and welfare states well how are their welfare states doing now?

    Capitalism, and I mean real capitalism wouldn't allow this to happen. Welfare should be for the people who really need it! Single mothers (who work), soldiers, war veterans, the elderly, the gravely ill and homeless people who ain't addicted to drugs (including alcohol). Anything more than that is socialism, look at the state of the NHS it's useless it would be cheaper for everyone if it was privitized. Look at every social/communist country that has ever existed, none of them give people the same rights as capitalist countries. Communism doesn't include the fact that humans will always want te be rewarded for their work. Why do you think North Koreans flee to the South, or Cubans risk their lives to get to America? Because under communism/socialism your not a person. Your basically owned by the state, I had my socialist days. But I realized the system doesn't work, it never has and never will.

    And I believe everyone is responsible for their own choices, President Reagan was stabbed in the back by people he and the country trusted. He wasn't responsible for the Iran Contra affair but because he was commander in cheif he got blamed for something he had no role in. Back to my point, President Reagan did not force no one to take crack. The people took it themselves, they were themselves responsible for their own problem. But one of the things I must admit is, President Reagan was too tough on drugs. States should be allowed to let what drugs they want in and not, federal government shouldn't make any drug illegal. That should be left to the states.

    Yes, capitalism is democracy. I mean, the kind of democracy in which Bill Gates get 61 billion vote. A very interesting kind of democracy, isn't it ? Maybe it's more like a ploutocracy.

    Beside that, I still feels pretty free here under a government made by the (gosh, shock and horror) Socialist Party Smiley. I think, freer that under the Patriot Act and all that stuff.

    A liberal muslim homosexual ACLU lawyer professor and abortion doctor was teaching a class on Karl Marx, known atheist

     ”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Marx and accept that he was the most highly-evolved being the world has ever known, even greater than Jesus Christ!”

     At this moment, a brave, patriotic, pro-life Navy SEAL champion who had served 1500 tours of duty and understood the necessity of war and fully supported all military decision made by the United States stood up and held up a rock.

     ”How old is this rock, pinhead?”

     The arrogant professor smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied “4.6 billion years, you stupid Christian”

     ”Wrong. It’s been 5,000 years since God created it. If it was 4.6 billion years old and evolution, as you say, is real… then it should be an animal now”

     The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Origin of the Species. He stormed out of the room crying those liberal crocodile tears. The same tears liberals cry for the “poor” (who today live in such luxury that most own refrigerators) when they jealously try to claw justly earned wealth from the deserving job creators. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, DeShawn Washington, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than a sophist liberal professor. He wished so much that he had a gun to shoot himself from embarrassment, but he himself had petitioned against them!

     The students applauded and all registered Republican that day and accepted Jesus as their lord and savior. An eagle named “Small Government” flew into the room and perched atop the American Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The pledge of allegiance was read several times, and God himself showed up and enacted a flat tax rate across the country.

     The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of the gay plague AIDS and was tossed into the lake of fire for all eternity.

     Semper Fi.

    Here is why i dont like Ronald Reagan's administration, The presidency-aided by Bush as well- transformed the federal judiciary from moderate liberal into a predominantly conservative institution , they appointed enough right wing Justices to Supreme court...you know what that means; Death penalty was brought back, right of detaines against police powers were reduced( blacks are mostly the victims),and doctors in federally supported family planning clinic were prevented from giving women information on abortion.

    His policies were crass; by cutting social benefits to the poor people and lowering taxes for the wealthy class and corporations, All for what?!! just to increase military expenditure including nuclear weapons so as to destroy the revolutionary movements in the carribbean,support dictatorial regimes battling left wings rebels abroad and attack any third world country that threatens their economic interest which only benefits the wealthy class. The greatest beneficiary of Reagan-Bush years is the Corporate America.



    So FUCK REAGAN and anyone that rides his dick da finga

    A real capitalism leds to exploitation of people and helps widens the gap between the rich and poor which creates class conflict and also real capitalism leads to imperialism which is what is happening now atm.

    10 Most Profitable U.S. Corporations Paid Average Tax Rate Of Just 9 Percent Last Year: Report

    While some of America's biggest corporations may complain that they pay too much in taxes, a recent analysis shows that many are actually getting off pretty easy.

    According to the financial site NerdWallet, the 10 most profitable U.S. companies paid an average federal tax rate of just 9 percent last year. The group includes heavyweights Exxon Mobil, Apple, Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase and General Electric. (Hat tip: Barry Ritholtz.)

    Some of these companies paid more than 9 percent -- JPMorgan earned $26.7 billion in 2011, for example, and paid $3.7 billion of it, or 14 percent, to the federal government -- and some paid less, like Exxon Mobil, which only sent 2 percent of its $73.3 billion earnings to the IRS.

    But the 10 companies all paid much less than the nominal corporate tax rate of 35 percent -- a number that investor and tax-the-rich advocate Warren Buffett has dismissed as "a myth," but one that presidential front-runners Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have both proposed to lower.

    “We obviously have challenges around the country,’’ Mr. Romney said on Tuesday evening, according to a transcript by a press representative attending a fund-raising event in West Des Moines. “I was in Chicago earlier today. We had a moment of silence in honor of the people who lost their lives at that sheik temple. I noted that it was a tragedy for many, many reasons. Among them are the fact that people, the sheik people are among the most peaceable and loving individuals you can imagine, as is their faith.’’

    It looks like Romney got his shit back on track, Paul Ryan is someone his campaign needed and someone the United States needs.
    Romney/Ryan 2012 is actually a pretty good ticket. Still think Ryan/Rubio 2016 (or 2020) is a way better ticket.
     
    P.S. Cato, President Reagan is a hero in my eyes and you obviously despise him. You believe capitalism is immoral I believe it's immoral to doubt capitalism. But without capitalism billions of people in China, India, Africa, the Americas and all over world will never get the chance to leave abject poverty and work towards a better future.

    Paul Ryan was proud to be a total Ayn Rand fanboy:

    "I just want to speak to you a little bit about Ayn Rand and what she meant to me in my life and [in] the fight we’re engaged here in Congress. I grew up on Ayn Rand, that’s what I tell people."

    "I grew up reading Ayn Rand and it taught me quite a bit about who I am and what my value systems are, and what my beliefs are."

    "It’s inspired me so much that it’s required reading in my office for all my interns and my staff. We start with Atlas Shrugged. People tell me I need to start with The Fountainhead then go to Atlas Shrugged [laughter]. There’s a big debate about that. We go to Fountainhead, but then we move on, and we require Mises and Hayek as well."

    "But the reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand."

    "And when you look at the twentieth-century experiment with collectivism—that Ayn Rand, more than anybody else, did such a good job of articulating the pitfalls of statism and collectivism—you can’t find another thinker or writer who did a better job of describing and laying out the moral case for capitalism than Ayn Rand."

    "It’s so important that we go back to our roots to look at Ayn Rand’s vision, her writings, to see what our girding, under-grounding [sic] principles are."

    "Because there is no better place to find the moral case for capitalism and individualism than through Ayn Rand’s writings and works."

    Until he found out she was an atheist:

    ""I reject her philosophy,” Ryan says firmly. “It’s an atheist philosophy. It reduces human interactions down to mere contracts and it is antithetical to my worldview. If somebody is going to try to paste a person’s view on epistemology to me, then give me Thomas Aquinas,” who believed that man needs divine help in the pursuit of knowledge. “Don’t give me Ayn Rand,” he says."

    You believe capitalism is immoral I believe it's immoral to doubt capitalism.


    Yes, i believe capitalism is immoral because the system encourages exploitation against people that dont or cant afford to own means of production and also encourages exploitation of resources in a foreign countries through military intervention or an act of imperialism, the resources which only serves to benefit the global corporations,wealthy class and their cronies.

    But without capitalism billions of people in China, India, Africa, the Americas and all over world will never get the chance to leave abject poverty and work towards a better future.


    Without capitalism, there would have been no imperialism, there would have been no class conflict, there would have been healthcare,education and food accessible to everyone without financial constraint,there would have been less war and no nuclear weapons, heck instead of having military superpower country that uses arms and high tech military equipments to  invade countries for their resources that only benefits few percentage in the world,we would have had a huminatarian country that helps develop other countries in need for the betterment of the world. The World would have been a better place to live.

    He didn't find out she was an atheist, he's back-pedalling, he knows that the religious right isn't comfortable with Rand's atheism so he's bullshitting right now so that he doesn't lose their support.
