Yep. Democrats should join us in outrage, but they're more concerned with damage control to make sure their guys keep winning.

New? Oh no, it isn't new. I have become accustomed to people taking money from me. And looks like they are going to take a little more now.

As far as the criminal penalties... Well, I just think it isn't right for the federal government to force me to "buy" anything. And if I was uninsured and didn't want insurance, that's my business. But under the taxocrats plan, they want to fine me and incarcerate me. That's just swell...

This country is slowly going the way of the dodo bird...

Yes, I pay for all those things. But, I use them. It is for the good of the country for us to have highways, a military, etc...

But there is something fundamentally wrong with changing the healthcare for 85% of the country just for the sake of the 15%. Then on top of that, they want to tax me to pay for it.

This healthcare system will not help everybody. But money is being taken from one American and directly given to another. So to speak. That is the difference. For the most of us, we will end up losing something good. Yea, we may have the "public" option to fall back on... But that is my fear. I do not want the government making decision concerning my healthcare. There are to many flaws in there system. Insuring the uninsurable is one. And I can guarantee you one thing, there are a lot of people who are very unhealthy, due to their own fault, that will put a heavy burden on this system.

But in the end, what I say can't change it. People always want something for nothing. Sounds good to have what someone else has got. Even though those other people worked very hard for what they have. Getting something for nothing never works. Nothing is free. And you also get what you pay for.

KMV,

If I don't join the military, I won't go to jail.  If I don't use the roads, I won't go to jail.  If I don't send my kids to school, I won't go to jail.

If I don't get health insurance, I will be sent to jail.

THAT is the difference.  Instead of treating us like idiots, please do some research.

In Christ,

No.  If you don't pay your taxes, you'll go to jail.

That doesn't seem that complicated.  Why is it confusing you?

It is not complicated, you are ignoring the facts that counter your position.

Everybody knows if you do not pay taxes you go to Jail....that's how Al Capone met his end.

There are provisions for fines and jail time if you fail to get life insurance.

Once again, please do some research instead of treating us like idiots.

In Christ,

Your comparisons are way off.

You even admitted, I do not get fined if I do not use the roads.  Same applies to the military, schools, etc.  If I do not use or join, I am not going to be fined or sent to jail.

If I do not get health insurance, I will.

The government is forcing me to buy something and threatening me if I do not.  That is my problem with the legislation.

They do not force me to use the roads...they do not force me to join the military...they do not force me to send my kids to school. 

They are going to force to buy something that they are providing the cheapest.  That is what is wrong.  If I choose not to buy it I get penalized.  That is what is wrong.

In Christ,
KP
