Yep, this is why subsidies and entitlements of any type don't work on the middle class. They only hold moderate value with the lower class too as there is no way to measure effort, ability etc to see if someone is even trying or putting forth effort to help themselves. With all subsidies and...

I don't "hate" anyone. I simply don't want to be forced to subsidize anyone. I don't need the government or some mob of strangers deciding how much. where or to whom I will give charity.

So are people you don't know and never will... so what is your point?

How can you possibly have subsidies without drop dead barely surviving asset limits? What this means is anyone paying subsidies is actually subsidizing every asset the receiving person has. He pays their premiums while they sit on tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is the insanity...

That is simply not the function of insurance. Insurance is made up of pools according to risk. The health of that pool determines your rate and allows the insurance company to compete for the highly profitable low risk good drivers. Your rate is first based on your level of risk to the...

The problem with the spin of your reuters article is they avoid the entire problem. The problem is Obamacare promotes middle class people to subsidize and support other middle class people. You can't subsidize one thing with a middle class person. When I subsidize someone's healthcare with no...

Actually premiums will not rise. Subsidies will go down is what happens. It is the way the entitlement junkies spin the situation. Technically the premiums would rise if subsidies are cut but only on those not paying their real premium cost in the marketplace in the first place. Premiums...

Unfortunately all "givers" as in employers of every type are in the "totally screw the employee" business. Thus people have to get collective and buy their way to the top in this game. AMA and every other lobby are basically unions representing individuals by a different name. Both unions and...

When a group moves from believing or speaking about something to extorting property by force that is a true enemy to liberty. Socialists are extortionists via mob rule using the government as their Agent Of Extortion. You are correct they do have the freedom to talk about extortion, robbery...

This pipeline is a bit of both. The real problem is currently Assad is going to let Russia put the pipeline through and mange the gas much like the US manages the Saudi oil which created the PETRODOLLAR. The petrodollar only exists for foreign oil exchanges. Every gallon of oil bought has to...

It is not about being "irresponsible". It is flat plain and simple "extortion". I currently pay for 80 million to get free cradle to grave healthcare on Medicaid. I pay in and get nothing myself. Same with all the entitlement programs I am not eligible for. Social Security and Medicare are...

Totally agree about Bill King. I also remember the old AFL which was incredible to watch. Having two competing professional football teams was a great idea and you always loose quality with a monopoly. Loved the Madden years and the guy was one of the best announcers ever. Some guys might...

Baseball is not far behind. All the socialist feminist run cities like Chicago, New York etc are now moving their totally useless and unwanted 50+ year old women into the announcer booths. They have no announcer voices and know little if anything about baseball. Asking completely lame...

More Like a Ladies League At This Point The league has also evolved from about 10% women watchers to over 45% and climbing. It is the fastest growing segment. While at the same time male viewers have declined. We saw cheerleaders disappear from TV and played way down at live games. We now...

The situation is clear. Dependency and being a debtor is weakness. Being a creditor is power. The states are addicted to federal deficit spending and will continue to grovel to the federalists forever because once dependent there is no going back until the federalists run out of money. The...
