The Affordable Health Care Act, government cheese and slavery

[LoneLaugher]

Obamacare is hardly enslavement. It frees millions of workers from the bonds of employer sponsored health insurance. No longer will having a preexisting condition mean that you must not have a break in coverage. People are more mobile, not less.


Why do the people who sign every one of their posts always seem to be nasty shitheads?

I'm not a fan of ACA, but slavery its not.

No more than paying taxes for any other government program is slavery, at least.

Not only is it slavery, but tyranny as well!



"Under a just and equal Government, every individual is entitled to protection in the enjoyment of the whole product of his labor, except such portion of it as is necessary to enable Government to protect the rest; this is given only in consideration of the protection offered. In every bounty, exclusive right, or monopoly, Government violates the stipulation on her part; for, by such a regulation, the product of one man's labor is transferred to the use and enjoyment of another. The exercise of such a right on the part of Government can be justified on no other principle, than that the whole product of the labor or every individual is the real property of Government, and may be distributed among the several parts of the community by government discretion; such a supposition would directly involve the idea, that every individual in the community is merely a slave and bondsman to Government, who, although he may labor, is not to expect protection in the product of his labor. An authority given to any Government to exercise such a principle, would lead to a complete system of tyranny." --See: Rep. Giles, speaking before Congress February 3rd, 1792

They are not “liberals”. They are conniving Marxist parasites who use the cloak of government force to steal the wealth which wage earners, business and investors have worked to create

All those years and all that money taken from taxpayers to wage a war of choice that ended up only creating a new ally of Iran, and you say nothing about it till your money may help the poor and sick get insurance instead?

You don't, like, sit around wondering why Mitt lost, do you?

Gotta love it.

He probably also doesn't care much about the huge military expenditures that are essentially cash bonuses to the defense industry or SITTING congress members like Michelle Bachmann writing and passing legislation that PERSONALLY benefits them! (Holy conflict of interest).

But feed and care for poor people? Pffttt..

If Obamacare were not funded by taxing a working person's earned wage, you may have a point. But using government force to take the property which every working person has in their labor, and transferring it to another for their personal economic needs and wants, is in fact the very definition of slavery.

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

• From bondage to spiritual faith;
• From spiritual faith to great courage;
• From courage to liberty;
• From liberty to abundance;
• From abundance to selfishness;
• From selfishness to complacency;
• From complacency to apathy;
• From apathy to dependence;
• From dependence back into bondage.
