LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- The White House has approved a deal that will exempt members of Congress and their staff from some of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, Politico reported late Thursday.

No wonder so many repubs aren’t interested in defunding it... it’s not an issue to them personally, so why bother?
So, the people that work for us are not going to be subject to the same taxes as we are?
Only the politically connected have choices.
A family business, not so much.
Everyone needs to copy this and send it to their congresscritters!
The government cannot take a right from you and give it to another.
Slaughter-House cases. 83 U.S. 36., (1872)
Here is a case that has four cases in one. It talks about prohibiting people from using their land, and giving that right to a corporation. The government cannot take a right from you and give it to another. Part of the case, was New Orleans had set up a large area to slaughter farm animals. This gave the corporation the exclusive right to slaughter all farm animals in the parishes of Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Bernard. And a land owner could not sell animals or produce from his private land.
This is a 5th and 14th Amendment and Article 1 section 10 VIOLATION. “No Title of Nobility shall be granted”
GIBBONS v. OGDEN, 22 U.S. 1 (1824)
The acts of the Legislature of the State of New York, granting to Robert R. Livingston and Robert Fulton the exclusive navigation of all the waters within the jurisdiction of that, with boats moved by fire or steam, for a term of years.
Lakewood v. Plain Dealer Publishing Co,. 486 U.S. 750 (1988)
Here we find another pick and choose as to who will get the favors of the government.
Columbia v. Omni Outdoor Advertising 449 U.S. (1991)
The city fathers wanted to have one sign company to put up all of the signs in the City of Columbia, South Carolina. So this is another loss for the great leaders of our local government. They don’t seem to realize our U. S. Constitution is for equality, and not a buddy system.
Leathers v. Medlock,. 499 U.S. 439 (1991)
Another case of playing favorites. This one is about taxes. It seems that the state of Arkansas wanted to charge Mr. Medlock taxes on his cable television subscribers and not on newspapers and magazines. They all three entertain, give out news, do advertising so they should pay equal taxes.
Newspapers and magazines could do good for elected officials. If your taxing authority is giving a land owner a free ride and charging you. If you are paying property taxes, I think you should put yourself in Mr. Medlock’s place and get what is yours. There is no lawful law that allows discrimination.
With Liberty and Justice for All.......
It is here for evil, forever, thanks to Mitt Romney.
Look at his laugh as it is imposed.
Willard on installing ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE:
"Conservatives are such fools.
Obama and the MSM have our back."
Your rulers are just getting what they deserve for managing the Tax Slaves and the underclass, taker voters.
Revolt.
Another arrogant display of why Congress is less popular than the Boston Bombers.
Last November, I gave some freepers a hard time for sitting out the election.
There is a very good chance I will do the same next year and 2016. What does it matter?
I think its time to find rope and trees.
Somehow we have to get an Amendment passed that says any laws enacted apply equally to congress, the courts and the executive branch. Not that this regime abides by The Constitution anyway.
Our “representatives” ... You know what, I don’t think congress should be exempt from any law they pass off on us. Until then, maybe I’ll just start arbitrarily deciding what laws apply to me and what ones I’d find it more convenient to ignore.
If this doesn’t cause the public to break out the tar and feathers, America is truly finished.
Can you say "bill of attainder?"
Yes.
If Obamacare is a tax, why are these people exempt?
I do not think that is fair.
You may have hit on the way to stop our ruling class.
