Holly

My first question is how does a tax credit, tax break, health saving account…. incent a person to buy health insurance when close to 50% and growing of people pay no income tax?

FROM CNN MONEY

47% will pay no federal income tax
An increasing number of households end up owing nothing in major federal taxes, but the situation may not be sustainable over the long run.

FROM TOM PRICE

Politico…..First, to ensure that every American has access to health care, we must reform the tax code so it makes financial sense for everyone to have coverage. Measures such as tax equity for the purchase of care, active pooling mechanisms to increase purchasing power and focused use of tax deductions and credits will allow all to obtain coverage that meets their needs. Providing proper incentives, we can achieve universal access to coverage without one-size-fits-all government mandates…….

I think that’s a bill he introduced. I thought he had cosponsored the Tom Price bill, but I don’t see his name. It might be worth calling his office, John.

I think you need new glasses or something. Whatever you are looking through seems to have selective focus.

So in your world, an enemy of the constitution is not a traitor?

I never referred to anyone who was opposed to Bush as a traitor. I didn’t refer to Nancy Pelosi as a traitor either, but she is an enemy of the Constitution.

But opposing imperialism from a Republican administration… that’s treason, right?

Your side will keep losing until you figure it out.

benevolus,

I was referring to her constituents but now that you bring it up yeah I’d say Barney Frank, Charlie Wrangle, John Murtha, et al make the Star Wars bar scene look pretty normal. And opposing socialism equals hating America; that is rich.

I don't know for sure, John. I don't work for Dr. Broun, so I have no right to speak for him. I do know you can find a list of bills he's cosponsored on THOMAS, which should be a good indicator of where he stands.

The rest of the House of Representatives who elected her Speaker look like the bar scene in Star War?
Why do you hate America?

aquaman — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 21:21:11 +0000

Worked her way up??? Her idiot constituency keeps sending her back and you make it sound like she actually accomplished something other than being elected by a crowd that would make the bar scene in Star Wars look normal.

Yep, so stupid she worked her way up to third in line to the President.

If you really want to win, NEVER underestimate your enemy.
