It happens everyday over there.....Didnt see the guy on cnn but I could only imagine I had a full grown man crying in front of me over somthing he couldnt control....He has a picture with him and 27 other soldiers 13 of the 27 in the picture are dead and they looked like kids.....
Health care is the last of our problems because it would be free if the fucking people would just not pay it and force on a new policy.......Florida Girl would prolly be out of a job then so of course she is gonna be agianst free health care.....People that work for the system care more for the system then human life and sufering and its quite sick to say the least.
Oh and Florida Girl when you said its MY FAULT for working a job that doesnt have insurance.....Shanangins its the only job avaliable so I diserve to be in pain or be sick because I lack insurance? Yeah go pick up a babby and drop kick it while your at it.

Health care should be a right. "promote the general welfare", if health care is not general welfare, I don't know what is.

for real.^^^^^^ always good words medman
how are the serfs going to work if they are in poor health? serfs working = more tax money for the wars, paying off our countries debt, more money to be "lost" into space, etc etc..

Again, Med ... you are mistaken about the intent of the "PROMOTE the general welfare" clause in the Constitution. Remember ... if the Founders intent was for the federal government to PROVIDE the general welfare, they would have used the word PROVIDE instead of the word PROMOTE. In their thinking, the government can best promote the general welfare by staying the hell away from the private business of the citizens of the various states.

Who's "General Welfare". Is that Obama's new nickname. I thought is was "The Great Black/White Hope Monger".

Again: Promote; "contribute to the growth or prosperity of" the populace. What don't you get about contribute.

Excerpt:
"The top-earning 25 percent of taxpayers (AGI over $62,068 ) earned 67.5 percent of the nation's income, but they paid more than four out of every five dollars collected by the federal income tax (86 percent). The top 1 percent of taxpayers (AGI over $364,657) earned approximately 21.2 percent of the nation's income (as defined by AGI), yet paid 39.4 percent of all federal income taxes. That means the top 1 percent of tax returns paid about the same amount of federal individual income taxes as the bottom 95 percent of tax returns."

The Tax Foundation - Educating Taxpayers Since 1937
A couple of article headlines from the site.
"A new Tax Foundation study shows that nearly half of American states tax job providers at a higher rate than any other country in the developed world."
"Tax Freedom Day, the day on which Americans have earned enough money to pay all their federal, state and local taxes for the year, will fall on April 23 this year, according to the Tax Foundation's annual calculation using the latest government data on income and taxes. That's three days earlier than in 2007. Stimulus rebates and a projection of slow growth in 2008 are the principal reasons for the earlier celebration."
"This morning (Feb. 29), the Virginia Supreme Court unanimously held that the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) is unconstitutional. The court found that the NVTA, created in 2002 and given the power to tax in 2007, exceeded its powers when it levied seven taxes on residents of Northern Virginia. The taxes will have to be refunded in their entirety."

If you want to live in a socialist Country then GO LIVE IN ONE... and leave your passport at the border when you go please! America is NOT about a distribution of wealth evenly... it's about the American Dream of making your own way and living the best you can by way of reaping the rewards of your own labor/smarts! Get that concept or GET THE FUCK OUT!
I hate people standing there with their hand out waiting for the GOVERNMENT (via hard working mostly middle class people) to support them!
Before you get your panties in a WAD .... I know SOME honest people who do need assistance and some have paid into the system and deserve it.... The problem is the Govt. can't tell the difference..... and so the "System" meant to help is RAMPANT with good people paying their hard earned money to support loser thieves!
Hell I'm a single woman with no children......I live on my own... no help or income from anyone else. I only have one car and rarely drive. I have no children in any school... yet my income taxes go to paying for building/improving new schools (which I will never use) and paving new roads (which I will never need). I'm less a burden on my community then most people in terms of resource needs yet I'm in the 33% tax bracket (soon to be more) and my dog doesn't even have a park where he can run.....
So let me get this straight..... I've ALREADY contributed (via outrageous taxes)... and I've ALREADY made sacrifices in my life to live within my means and support myself without help..... but I'm suppose to make further sacrifices to help the "populace"? WELL FUCK THAT!
You must be HIGH... HIGH .... HIGH to think I have more to "give" for the good of the POPULACE. Keep asking me to give.... ... soon I'll be holding my hand out too! DUMBASS!

Very true, Floridagirl.
Liberals want another democrat in office so they can raise taxes to new records to fund the newly created useless social programs in which our tax money is diffused in the labyrinth of bureaucracy and the inept and often corrupt officials who regulate them.
And those social programs typically have broad requirements to enroll in. They can, and have, been exploited.
Hell, we are being taxed alot more than we were during the British control of the colonies.
