These people are even bad at socialism.
This is blatantly unconstitutional and if it should pass unchallenged as such, then the Revolution is here.
“Democrats seem impervious to embarrassment as they buy votes for ObamaCare, but their latest move makes even Nebraska’s Ben Nelson look cheap: The 87% of Americans who don’t belong to a union will now foot the bill for a $60 billion giveaway to those who do.”
No we won’t we will trash this bill, and broom the communists out of office.
Patently unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment.
With all the ,well i was going to say breaks but lets call it what it is,Bribes, so bribes being handed out,how will the CBO score this? can they get a budget nuetral bill or will they have to go back? Only asking because every delay is helpful.
I don’t see why the Democrats are stopping at 40%. If the Constitution allows a selective 40% tax, then it allows a selective 400% or 4,000% tax. The Democrats should just go ahead and levy a 4,000,000% tax on all health-care expenditures, then exempt all union and government workers. Within a few years, every Republican will be dead, and the Dems won’t have to worry about elections ever again.
An easily discovered fact about the Federal Reserve is that it is a corporation, or in reality each district is a separate corporation, presumably to isolate and contain a total collapse to that one district. The shares of the Federal Reserve are owned by the member financial institutions in proportion to their capital. The Federal Reserve has a legal authority to issue debt in the name of the US government. What we have is the largest conflict of interest in human history.
And look what people at the very top did with their authority and who it benefited. Hank Paulson, under Bush, bailed out AIG, but the bailout was a wash-through of funds because some AIG customers including Paulson’s old firm, Goldman Sachs received 100 cents on the dollar for the AIG contract.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was previously the head of the New York Federal Reserve. While in that previous job, it is alleged that he directed AIG to not fully disclose the details of their bailout.
We talk about banks being “too big to fail”. Some have proposed they should be split up to reduce the systemic risk. Well, no single bank, or even AIG, caused government to mis-spend so much money. But it was government that imposed the Community Reinvestment Act, a regulatory regime that was used by both parties over many years to force banks to lend money to far too many homeowners who could not repay their loans.
Indeed, by 2007, fully 52% of home loans had been made to sub-prime borrowers. We now see the fruits of this government policy: unbearable rates of delinquency and foreclosure.
Before we split up banks for being too big to fail, we must split up government as being to big for us to survive. Government has seized the power to create legal tender, the power to issue debt in our name, the power to create fiat money out of thin air, and the power to tell banks who to lend to. Government is purchasing its power and votes at our expense. It has become a parasite that threatens to kill the host upon which it feeds almost without restraint.
If we do not bring it to heel, we will soon become its serfs.
our local paper, Roanoke Times, does not even give the details of this travesty. only says that a deal with the unions was reached.
liberals and their enablers will stop at nothing.
