[A mandate is a tax. Tea Party is about opposing mandates/taxes without representation.]
Truthfully I had not thought about that much, but had I, I would still have concentrated more on the thought of preventing a disease, and I think you would too. Perry did. And - we both know that none of the Perry bashing has been about the cost - at least I haven’t seen that myself. It is all about Perry MAKING young [innocent...] girls take inoculations because there were side effects in a few. There always are side effects from any inoculations, medicines, etc.
Well neither do the Perry supporters seem to 'get it' that the 'tea party' erupted over mandates/taxation without representation. IF the citizens of the state of Texas are fine with their state government executing mandates/taxes so be it. I for one am opposed to more of the same style of government on the federal level.
I shudder that kids have been so sexualized by the hollywood and political culture that drug companies had the foresight to create a drug to protect them.
The drug had probably been created years earlier for adults, I have not looked into that.
Perry believes in State rights, which is a proper thing for a President to do.
I may destroy your ‘kind thoughts’ of me, but there is no perfect candidate - not even the one so many think is.
You probably live in a city that mandates some taxes, zoning laws, some restrictions on what you can and cannot do. Most people do.
I love Texas and live very comfortably here and Perry's been Governor going on 11 years.
No matter how many times you say a mandate is a tax, it still won’t be true.
If the government mandates that you wear your seat belt, is that a tax? If the government mandates that you stop at stop signs, is that a tax? If the government mandates that you send your child to public school, is that a tax? If the government mandates that you wear clothes in public, is that a tax?
If the government mandates that you take a free vaccine in order to be in the military, is that a tax?
How many examples do you need of mandates that are not taxes, before you stop running around saying “a mandate is a tax” simply so you don’t have to explain what your problem is with mandates?
