SCOTUS Healthcare Ruling

[David2012]

This weather report just in--- "Hell didn't freeze over today, it just experienced a heavy frost!"

If Obama & the Dems thought the Tea Party was active in the 2010 election where so many Republicans were elected... just wait... now that they can yell & scream that Obama care is a $1 Trillion+ tax on the middle class.

We're gonna be seeing ole George Bush's read my lips, no new taxes commercials along side Obama saying the health care law was not a tax.

By a generation of pull yourself up by the boot strappers. Not too many people like that around now a days. We are populated by a generation of put your hand outers.

Not really. There was for all intents and purposes no middle-class before WWII. The returning soldiers spurred a housing boom, baby boom, billions of dollars in war bonds matured at once, a permanent war manufacturing economy was established, the G.I. Bill trained millions of G.I.'s for well paid jobs which spurred city and suburban growth, the Interstate Highway Act and automobile-based industries exploded onto the scene, the tax rate was beneficial to paying off the debt, etc.

Eisenhower was mentioned earlier - it should be noted that he supported drastically different economic policies than the average Republican today. Hell, so did Nixon. What we see today is pretty young and owes its roots to Reaganomics.

The debt incurred from WWII was leveled quickly as a result of WWII itself. Your "bootstrap" generation had an unprecedented amount of help pulling those boots on. Economically speaking, I'd argue the parents of the greatest generation had the toughest time with their boots. The greatest generation got TV sets, '55 Chevys, air conditioning, and fully pensioned on-time retirement for blue-collar work.

Obama in an interview with George Stephanopoulos: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2009/09/obama-mandate-is-not-a-tax/
STEPHANOPOULOS: I wanted to check for myself. But your critics say it is a tax increase.

OBAMA: My critics say everything is a tax increase. My critics say that I’m taking over every sector of the economy. You know that. Look, we can have a legitimate debate about whether or not we’re going to have an individual mandate or not, but…

STEPHANOPOULOS: But you reject that it’s a tax increase?

OBAMA: I absolutely reject that notion.

Now it is upheld because it is a tax. I smell a lying scumbag scent coming from DC.

Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America ?

Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. We all need to pull together or watch the demise of a free democratic society. Pray for Americans to seek the truth and take action for it will keep us FREE. Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, North Korea or Iran. Our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington, DC . The government will not help, so we need to do it ourselves.
