GOP governors scramble for answers on ObamaCare | TheHill
"Republicans potentially have a PR nightmare on their hands, because what happens when eight million people lose their subsidies" says this article. If the SCOTUS rules for the plaintiffs, this ruling will mostly only effect the states whose governors refused to set up exchanges for ideological reasons and just as the 2016 election gets into full swing. It will be interesting to see how those governors, some of whom might be running for president, explain themselves. |

You liberals are so easy to spot. You come on this and other forums and say,"Hey guys, I'm a republican and super conservative and all... but I really like Hillary." Then you say weird liberal junk like, "Hey it's not fair that the CEO makes more than the janitor. We're all the same you know...on the same team and everything. And we ought to tax those rich guys and those evil big corporations more." The liberal mantra is always the same. Vote for tax increases on OTHER people! It's just not fair they have more.... |

I believe in fiscal conservatism. I believe in a strong defense. I believe in a progressive tax system. I don't like Hillary. I've only voted for a Democrat once in my life. But according to you, it's easy to spot me as a liberal. Talk about arrogance. Not to mention stupidity. By the way, the first U.S. income tax was instituted during the Civil War. By an overwhelmingly Republican congress. It was progressive. |

It's ridiculous on its face that 20% of the citizens carry the huge bulk of the tax load. The tax base must be broadened. Regardless of its origin, a progressive tax system is a liberal notion of confiscating the wealth from a few to redistribute to the many. It is opposite of everyone paying their "fair share". It is the epitome of liberalism. A flat tax or national sales tax is "fair" to all. No one is treated differently. The "wealthy" will OBVIOUSLY still pay FAR MORE due to the larger dollar amount of their income or purchases. It will still be strongly bifurcated with the relatively few carrying the load, but all citizens will pay SOMETHING! Now, try not to blow a gasket (AGAIN) like a teenage girl sighting a spider! |

I've never argued that the tax base shouldn't be broadened. And your statement that a progressive tax rate is a "liberal notion of confiscating the wealth from a few to redistribute to the many" is a cockamamie delusion. As a percentage of earnings a flat or sales tax places a much greater burden on those at the low end of the income scale. That is indisputable. A 15% flat tax on $30,000 is much more confiscatory than a 15% tax on $100,000. It just changes who is getting confiscated from. |

I'll try to simplify this as much as I possibly can and I'll just hope you then understand. If not, I give up. Let's reduce the entire US population to 5. 1 of those 5 pays nearly the entire tax bill and the top two pay it all combined. The bottom three, in varying degrees, receive money from the top two (via welfare, housing & energy assistance, tuition grants, food stamps, free cell phones, etc...) Do you now understand how that "tax money" taken from the top two is "redistributed" or are you already lost? Is this simplified version what you call a "cockamamie delusion"? |

See - I've never argued that our current tax code is fair, balanced, optimal, etc. All I've ever said is that a progressive tax system is better from a fairness standpoint, then a flat tax. Somehow you got it in your head that I am in favor of our current tax situation, and that if we could take even more from rich people, it would be better. But I never said that. Then you got all mean and kept trying to tell me what I thought. So I got mean and sarcastic back. A Flat tax is regressive. It takes the same percentage of tax from everybody. Whether they can afford it or not. A flat tax takes money from the working poor. And in the end, we're just going to give that money, and more, back to them. Just because it's easy to understand doesn't make it automatically better. |

Where in the history of the USA was it stated the poor did not have to pay taxes if they could not afford it? Some of us remember having to pay taxes when we were on a near bread and water budget! The real issue of the current times is the amount of free loading thta is being funded by the few tax payers in the USA. There are far too many people collecting from the current welfare programs who should not be. The classics? Food stamps and unemployment compensation. I personally know of too many unemployed who are perfectly content to stay home and collect unemployment. They are the first to protest if their "benefits" () are about to expire and demand an extension (again). Food stamp abuse is a well know problem for years and all that has happened over the years is to multiply the problem. Two excellent examples of those working having to pay for those who ELECT not to work. Affordability has nothing to do with it anymore. It has become an expectation, just as the highlighted satement above implies. |

Supreme Court Case May Devastate Hospitals In 34 HealthCare.gov States - The National Memo
Hospitals in 34 healthcare.gov states would be devastated, if the Supreme Court rules for the plaintiffs in King vs Burwell. This, of course, is especially true in Florida. |

I wonder how all these hospitals made out before the subsidy floodgates were opened? I wonder how many are milking the system knwoing it comes from the government? How dare I make such an accusation? How about the other "freebie" medicare that is fraught with fraud by the medical industry/institutions? There is nothing affordable about the Obama ACA in reality! |

There is no doubt that there is abuse. There is abuse in any program, of any type, public or private. Can't be stopped because there are unscrupulous people out there. It would be great if it could be reduced. But does that mean that we condemn everybody that participates in those programs? |
