You want my vote? you TMZ. That’s my vote.

You would rather …
You would rather have insurance bureaucrats and adjustors deciding who lives and dies, based soley on the bottom line? Haven’t you been paying attention?

“figures you want …
“figures you want me to go to the pharmaceutical company to get help…… ”
Yea silly him. It’s not like the pharma corps save millions of lives every year with their medical products. I mean we all know its the govt that manufactures all that stuff. /sarcasm

@zap501 A …
@zap501 A government takeover would be if the gov’t shut down all insurance companies and hospitals and provided the only available service.
Explain how allowing people to buy into medicare is going to lead to any of the things you listed.

Even HALF brained …
Even HALF brained idiots knows that a takeover of healthcare by the gov’t (i.e. Public Option) will ultimately (and designedly) destroy the health care industry and lead us down the road to health care rationing, poorer quality, socialism & tyranny. I don’t know what polls these jokers are reading but the public option is NOT overwhelmingly popular. The American public by a near 2/3rds majority do not care for the thug politics here you’d normally find in the Politbureau of the old Soviet Union.

NO to obummercare!! …
NO to obummercare!! NO to unelected bureaucrats who will decide who will live and who will die – - and this based solely on the bottom line. NO to “no option” for anyone who can raise the money for Grandpa’s heart surgery. NO to the so-called ‘public option’!! NO to saddling our grandchildren with TRILLIONS that they must repay China. NO to these stupid “young Turks” – - and we know that the Turks massacred the Armenians – just as obummer is massacring the USA and our health care system.

@john51880 These …
@john51880 These numbers are the amounts of the taxes collected, not the percentages of ones income that they pay. I think you’re arguing about something we agree on…Like I said, maybe everyone making over a certain amount should pay a flat 10%. No deductions, no loopholes.
March 6th, 2010 at 2:28 am
Why should one man …
Why should one man pay a higher % of his earning than another? The progressive tax is wrong across the board! So no tell me how the rich are evil and can afford it. What total bs!
March 6th, 2010 at 2:28 am
@john51880 And the …
@john51880 And the top 1%($410,096) only pays 40.42%. THAT is not fair.

The top 5% of wage …
The top 5% of wage earners($160,041.0 or above) pay 60.63% of the total personal income taxes collected. That is not fair! How about a you get a clue!
March 6th, 2010 at 2:28 am
@john51880 I’m not …
@john51880 I’m not talking about class warfare, I just want everyone to pay their fair share. What about a 10% tax rate for everyone who makes more than $30k a year? Also, do you think after the Bush tax-cuts corps and fatcats got generous all of a sudden? Essentially tax cuts amount to spending, but with nothing in return. Saying it’s all the Democrats fault is intellectually dishonest at best. Trickledown economics is a farce. The only thing that trickles down is on the ones at the bottom

Sorry but I am not …
Sorry but I am not buying the class war that you sell. No one pay more taxes than the wealthy. In fact you should thank them because they pay a gross % of the bills. Corporations do not pay taxes, they pass the bill along to you! The get even with the man view is low rent!
March 6th, 2010 at 2:28 am
@john51880 Big …
@john51880 Big corporations and the super wealthy use the tax code to steal money from taxpayers. Insurance companies use lack of regulation to steal money from you and me.
March 6th, 2010 at 2:28 am
wow you make no …
wow you make no sense at all! The government spends every dime they can get and then some. We are so broke it is gross! Yet the democrats continue to spend us blind!
March 6th, 2010 at 2:28 am
You are mistaken. …
You are mistaken. No government option! I am against any increase in government control what so ever over health care. Government is the proublem not the answer! Government also uses the tax code to steal far to much of the publics money.

he lost income by taking office… his wife had a job before becoming first lady

@john51880 You …
@john51880 You clearly don’t understand the public option. It will allow people who can’t afford insurance to buy into medicare. Will it cover everything that some insurance policies do? Probably not, but when you have no insurance, something is better than nothing. It will be cheaper than going to the emergency room, where costs are astronomical, and applying for Hill/Burton charity care, and it will force insurance companies to lower thier prices to attract customers.

The GOP are the Borg. They are a collective that share one thought.
Scott Brown is an anomaly.

Radical? His policies, in any other Westernised nation, would be regarded as centre right.
March 6th, 2010 at 2:28 am
Existing government …
Existing government programs are underfunded by the same people who hate them, because they want people to distrust government programs. That doesn’t mean they have to be crappy, they’re made that way to turn you off to them.

It is not “the …
It is not “the public option” it is the GOVERNMENT OPTION! You will have no choice but to go along with the plan. Forced to buy a service that will be of lesser quality, that will hurt advances in care and cause waiting lines! Ya I want some of that—NOT!
March 6th, 2010 at 2:28 am
Again, we have the …
Again, we have the Public Option over here and it hasn’t caused quality to slip.
Just Corporate propaganda, everyone needs to see a Doctor once or twice in their lifetime.. It’s not a Business, it’s a Human Right.

Rahm is a total left wing radical! He is the hatchet man, the arm twister. Most of the people who Obama hired would not be welcome in the homes of 90% of the voters, democrat or republican.
