THIS WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO THROW UP (Congress exempts self from pain of Obamacare)

[I want the USA back]

I knew this was happening. They are the ruling elite. They make laws for the common herd and not for themselves. They live high off the hog off our hard-earned money.

[smoothsailing]

With all of the waivers and exemptions in place already, the equal protection clause has been completely ignored.

You would thing a strong constitutional case could be made on behalf of the poor smucks forced to pay for all this, i.e. us.

[smoothsailing]

You would think

In Ayn Rands fictional America Atlas shrugged. In this real America, if there are Atlases, they are not likely to shrug even if they know it’s possible.

The wolf and the bear have decided on what’s for lunch and it’s us.

The OPM has to turn over the list, otherwise for all we know it could be imposters calling them and demanding exemption.

[little jeremiah]

It is our last stand.

We need Rs who are not “Trembling hands” as they say in Egypt on the Live thread. Trembling hands means the politicians AND military who do not do their job to protect the people from the Mozlem Brotherhood.

Our MB is in the WH and many other gov agencies.

I love to watch Greta, she is such a well-meaning, good government naif.

She has no idea the Democrats are themselves fixed in an interlocking web of power groups which has generated its own morality having nothing to do with her nice, Protestant, Midwestern upbringing. They do not share her values, indeed, they despise her values.

That what they do in this instance is elitist and rankly unfair does not even enter into their mental calculus except to consider that it might affect them at the polls. They have transcended morality as evidenced by the fact that this selfish act is one of such breathtaking cynicism. The Democrat party and their interest groups are so invested in their obsessive identity politics that they draw their ethics and morality from their own ideology.

The question to them is not whether this is fair, but whether this is due to them as a member of this group? Just as the question was not whether the facts showed George Zimmerman guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, the decision for them turned on whether Travon Martin was black and Zimmerman was "white," their right to these taxpayer subsidies comes from their identity.

The question is not whether it is legal, not whether it is fair, certainly not whether it is constitutional, but whether this is the booty set aside for this group?

This kind of elitist cronyism is inevitable in a socialist environment. The Nomenklatura always get the Dachas.

I don't mind at all that those who voted against Obamacare would exempt themselves, but those who voted for it, now they've got some gal. I'm looking for some names.

[smoothsailing]

Government is their god, and they are the chosen ones.

[Razz Barry]

Some gall to.

[NKP_Vet]

That’s the way the crooked bastard democrats operate. Nothing new here. AND, anyone that greases Obamagabe’s hands are exempt, from labor unions to Muslims, to McDonald’s.
Give the crooked son-bitch money and you don’t have to participate in WelfareCare. Other than the worthless Bill Clinton, this Kenyan fraud is the crookiest president in American history. He makes Nixon and LBJ look like altar boys.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

I’ve never seen Greta pissed, but she sure sounds it.

Who isn’t?

[lexington minuteman 1775]

We need a new constitutional ammendment that simply states that Congress may pass not law from which they themselves are exempt!

“heavy pressure from Capitol Hill”?

I think we are going to need more details. Like, from whom????

[txhurl]

Exactly. The lunch ladies on Capitol Hill could flood the OPM phones, and that’s technically ‘pressure’ from Capitol Hill.

[jch10]

Since Obamacare is a “tax”, as ruled by John Roberts, won’t there be grounds for being ruled against by the SC now? How can a tax be paid for by Congress, to staffers as well as members?
