EDIT: WRONG thread lol

moved to <over there>

So burn em down because they have greater means? Gotcha! Lennin must whisper sweet nothings to you in your dreams. Seriously, get over yourself and find work smarter/harder if you want to rise.

Talk about voting against your interests, the laws and regulations of this presidency have served to do nothing but keep poor people poor and slow to stop their crawl out of poverty into economic independence.

Vote democrat, become a ward of the state and never have to worry that the money we borrow to keep you there will ever run out!

Find work smarter/harder!

Congress passes laws. The president signs them.

Whatever, people can donate whatever they want, money isn't going to change people's political affiliation.

Burn em down? Huh? I'm sorry that you think piles upon piles of dark money is somehow a boon to democracy. Seriously, I am.

Yes, there are. Even last year, while my dad was still on hospice, policies changed due to Obamacare and he was no longer able to get a physical therapist out when he had health insurance and had a physical therapist in 2012.

It's not like Obamacare just came out as an extra option and nothing else changed with other insurance policies or within the medical offices themselves. Obamacare being passed did cause insurance companies to change policies, as well as policies within the medical field.

It's not all bad, obviously, but there are people who got completely screwed over due to Obamacare.


This is so stupid. Some people don't have the means to ever get into high paying jobs, even if they wanted to and applied themselves. The economy is screwed, and has been for a while, if you hadn't noticed. Having the rich dictate policies by simple virtue of having more wealth is a terrible idea. People shouldn't even have to give examples, but you already have the example of Charlie Sheen and drugs. Use your imagination and think of the ramifications of rich people who want to be able to put more restrictions and censorship on the internet. Remember SOPA?

I can't stop laughing at that picture of Hillary haha

Well it's kind of like the Hobby Lobby situation. On one hand you got them fighting the implementation of aspects of the ACA and using the platform of religious freedoms to avoid having to provide policies that offer discounted contraceptives and abortion pills. Then on other hand Hobby Lobby invests in such pharmaceuticals as Pfizer, Teva, Bayer, AstraZeneca, and Forest Laboratories. Which all manufacture IUDs, abortion pills, contraceptives the whole 9.

So it turns out with both hands brought together. Hobby Lobby invests in the very product they claim is against their religious beliefs. Or in other words they're not trying to have you or their employees get their invested products on the cheap.

More than likely the Koch brothers have the same two faced dealings with respect to their agenda.

Except it doesn't matter what anyones political affiliation is. Rich people flood money into both sides of the aisle already. The only time a partisan line is drawn is over *** that doesn't matter and serves as a distraction from real issues. Our government has been hijacked for awhile, this is just making the process easier for those bank rolling politicians.

Vote republican, turn your state red and start mooching off blue states.

yes my brothers cost more than doubled. because you know if you make more you gotta pay more. *** progressives. ruining this country.

Man, you'd wonder why obamacare approval rating aren't going down but going up instead, despite the tens of millions of dollars in ads against it.

Anyone been to Ted Cruz's facebook page lately?

I'm sorry that you think free speech is a hindered to democracy.

So what won't you believe even if they wrap it in pretty words?

money isn't speech anymore than corporations are people.

Corporations ARE people. Money IS speech.

The supreme court has concluded such things.

sorry but the supreme court is wrong.

Don't quite understand why you refuse to acknowledge that Obamacare did put some people in a worse spot. I'm a liberal and even I can acknowledge it. Was it for the greater good of the overall country? Possibly, but flat out ignoring the fact that it did have an adverse reaction for some people, especially the older generations, is hogwash.

But the attorney I saw on TV said otherwise...

Maybe it's because I'm not refusing to acknowledge that Obamacare put some people in worse spots.

Are you still watching mainstream media?

My apologies, then. Your posts seem to indicate that's how you feel since you stated:


Then you went on to talk about the approval rating of Obamacare when people gave examples.

Yes, yes I did.

I was making the point that it was helping more people than it was hurting.

You're both refusing to acknowledge you are in the wrong thread!
This is the evil republican money machine triumphs over the poor people thread!

THE ACA THREAD!!!

Don't look at me, I wasn't the first one to bring it up.

Anyways, this is an example of people being too stupid to realize they've fallen for propaganda. No, no one here is going to dump their life's savings towards any particular candidate. You need to look at how this law is actually going to be used, rather how it could theoretically be used. All this does is chip away at laws that are put in place to outlaw and prevent bribery.

I don't understand how everyone loves to point out and criticize corruption, then half of us support rulings that will lead to that corruption.
