Personally, I fail to understand how our government cannot do everything it needs to do with 5% of everyone's salary. Given that many of us disagree on what the government should and should not be doing, I am generously willing, more than generous, I might add, to raise that to 10%. Beyond that, I have to ask what is so difficult? Are our elected officials the stupidest people in the world, or what? And we must be even stupider to re-elect these idiots. We let ourselves be manipulated by idiot bimbos on Fox News or MSNBC (lower bimbo factor perhaps) to think that one party or the other would fix everything if we would just trusted them with our votes. What a bunch of nonsense!אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

I am actually a fair tax person. My caveat is that this would be the only Federal tax, period. I don't expect to get that, but even so we can put the IRS out of business. I also support the repeal of the 16th amendment, but that is another story.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

My sister is a global accounts manager for Anthem BC/BS. I spoke to her yesterday on my birthday about how the ACA is working out for them. She said they are in chaos now. They used to have 2-4 government audits each year, and now they have a minimum of one per month. Her professional opinion is that the insurance companies are most certainly NOT a fan of the ACA requirements.That's what

Originally posted by Psychic Missile View PostSure. ACA works if the goal is to get more people insured and address some issues in that regard. However, it does not work if the goal is to heal the sick. The only solution to that problem is UHC, as found in Scandinavia, as well as many other countries.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
