Also, it pains me to say it, but Alex made a good point with the taxes thing. And we all know republicans love taxes, you should be thrilled Thrax.

Yeah, I bust my ass to put myself through school, hold down a good job, spend my money wisely, buy the house I can afford, have the amount of children I can afford, and I'm being selfish for not wanting to get punished by my government.

Fuck freeloaders. Fuck them. Fuck 'em.


And once again......it isn't a tax........it's a penalty.

Sure its a tax, its a "people who dont want health insurance tax" also known as the "people who like to gamble with their and their families lives" tax. Its like the gasguzzler tax for people who buy hummers.

It's more of a "we're the federal government and we can fuck with you any way we want to tax."

You can call it what you want.......it's socialism. Socialism caters to the lazy and inept.

I am constantly shocked that this website, which is full of educated and potentially wealthy individuals one day, supports such legislation that will one day beat down their bank accounts. This bill will successfully produce even more laziness in this country. Eventually there will come a time when nobody needs to work. We'll just get supported by the government. It'll be great.

Also, if you don't get health insurance you already have more children than you can afford and your not spending your money wisely. I was only half joking about the John Q thing, tell me what you do when someone in your family (or you) gets cancer or any of hundreds of other illnesses that cost way to fucking much to pay for by yourself? YOU BECOME A FREELOADER (and a hypocrite) or you just die or let your family member die. That TAX is to pay for those of you who think its a good idea to not get health insurance and then end up in a hospital which cant turn you away demanding to be fixed up or cured but not being able to pay for it.

Pat, where in my example did I talk about family or children?

Ya Thrax, its working pretty terribly in the 32 countries that are already doing it.

Yeah, I bust my ass to put myself through school, hold down a good job, spend my money wisely, buy the house I can afford, RIGHT HERE>>>>>>>>>>have the amount of children I can afford,<<<<<<<<<<RIGHT HERE and I'm being selfish for not wanting to get punished by my government.

And the point applies just as well to yourself, its just MORE irresponsible if you do it with a family.

"this website, which is full of educated and potentially wealthy individuals"
