The only reason people don't want a public option, by and large, is because of scare tactics, though. I mean, yeah, there is a dedicated core of libertarians out there who have a logic behind their reasoning of why big government is bad, but most people are just scared of the Red Spectre.

 

We'll look back on this and laugh in 50 years, when all the baby boomers (raised in the shadow of the Cold War), are dead, and the large numbers of people who harbor this irrational fear of socialism are out of the system (and the fear-mongers with their own agendas can stop taking advantage of them)

It's already starting to happen. The fact this thing is up for debate at all proves that times are turning over. It's been a long time since Reagan called public helthcare a communist practice (i know he didn't put it quite like that, but it's exactly what he meant).

We can tell it’s already happening by looking at our president.

Never before, in the history of the US, has someone ran for office, and openly told the people they are taking more money from the rich, for no other reason than “they can afford it”.

Candidates in the past wanted to redistribute, but they had to hide it, and push that agenda in sneaky ways. Obama made it a campaign promise, and was loved for it.

Socialism is here, and government does not have to fight the people to get it. We are freely giving it away. It’s an incredibly sad commentary on the state of the world.

Mark my words. Obama will not be the next Castro because he does not have time on his side, but one day the only difference between our president and a dictator, will be the title.

Well Mondale said he was going to increase taxes.  You see how that turned out
