Forums - General - Question about what Obama just said.

Maybe he feels that doctors, and insurance and pharmaceuticals companies are charging way more than they should for their services, so he's going to charge them that extra amount in taxes.

As an unemployed and uninsured American whom has been faced with some rather exorbitant medical bills that the salary and company insurance that I was paying for at my last job wouldn't come anywhere near paying for (and they were minor things like bloodwork, a CT scan, and a colonoscopy), I would have to agree that something is messed up somewhere in that system.

Sounds about right.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I've seen people defend stranger views than that.  Mafoo thinks that the government should play as little a role as possible in people's lives, even if some rights get trampled in the process.  He just thinks that a lot more rights are worth trampling than some of us do as he values the government staying in its own little corner more than some of us do.

I think everyone agrees with the principle that government should play a little a role as possible in people's lives, but everyone disagrees on how little of a role is as little of a role as possible.  I and many of you think that healthcare is part of what the government should be responsible for, but we are against the government telling people what religion to believe in.

So I don't think anyone disagrees with the principle that the government should play as small of a role as possible in people's lives.  But none of us agree on where to draw that line.

      No, minimum wage and anti-discrimination laws for private businesses shouldn't go because they benefit the majority rather than the minority of people in this country.  However, the gap between minimum wage and higher paid citizens should be shortened.

surely no-one can defend slavery though? he essentially wants to treat the working classes as such



Arguably the working class is still enslaved.

The US couldn't afford a NHS anyways until immigration is brought under control.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
