    Actually I doubt they are paying more, as a percentage of income, than I am, and that does not even count things like stock, that should be taxed and counted in this.

    If the top 5% make most of the income shouldnt they pay most of the tax?

  6. Re:It all depends.... on Iowa Makes a Bold Admission: We Need Fewer Roads · · Score: 4, Informative

    That is not what he wass talking about. The 114k miles of roads that he considers too many includes all of the city roads, the county roads. They have a total of 114k miles included in all of that. In fact if you just look at what the DOT owns, out of the 114k, is less than 8% at 8,883 miles. The vast majority include county roads at 89,824, then municipalities at 14,965, next DOT and then parks and institutions and federal agencies.

    So please tell me, where do you exactly think these cuts are going to come from, the relatively small number of DOT responsible roads, of the huge number of country roads that is safe to say provides direct access to homes?

    How do you know they are not? In addition, he did not say highways, he said roads, unless you are in an urban area I am sure it is safe to say that virtually all regular roads provide direct access to someones home.

    It actually is not a new right. This right has long standing in the law. You are also forgetting that the constitution does not enumerate all of the rights, just the ones felt to be most important at the time.

    I think you are missing my point there bub. I am for the ACA, however if you want to not be a part of it, and have a irrational hatred of it, sign a waiver, and never get any assistance from it again, you are not allowed to sign up, nothing.

    I want to see people who need help get it, even if they are hating it, as long as they are reasonable.

    Please state why the ACA has no business being federal law?

    Also yes, I am blaming them, I believe in putting blame where blame is due. If it was not for them we could have single payer.

  21. Re:Roberts admits to being wrong on Supreme Court Upholds Key Obamacare Subsidies · · Score: 2

    Let me clarify for you then. What is specifically written in a small paragraph is not what you can look at in forming intent, it is the entire bill as a whole and the documented intentions of those writing it.

    So it does not mean the administration can do whatever it wants, it is still bound by the law and the laws intent, as interpreted by the SCOTUS. It is checks and balances.

  22. Re:ACA - More Affordable Healtcare on Supreme Court Upholds Key Obamacare Subsidies · · Score: 1

    So in other words I was correct, in general, an illegal alien cannot get free healthcare, it is only in the limits of the state of CA.... In addition the bill you are talking about is mostly targeted to minors, who you cannot really blame for their parents breaking the law.

  23. Re:Roberts admits to being wrong on Supreme Court Upholds Key Obamacare Subsidies · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Both the intent and the bill are documented, the thought process is known...

    Also you are stating the SCOTUS, the ultimate power in determining the law, is unreliable? And the fact that centuries of jurisprudence is based on this is not legal?

    Since the employer mandate has not kicked in yet I am pretty sure that is not the ACAs fault.

    I also do not believe that yur coverage went up that much.

    Also an illegal alien cannot get healhcare for free in general, you are making shit up.

  25. Re:In time on Supreme Court Upholds Key Obamacare Subsidies · · Score: 1

    Here is the thing, I am fine with you not having healthcare as long as you are willing to not have a right to doctor care without paying for it up front if you dont have health care. Heart attack and no insurance, oh well stay home and die if you cannot pay for it up front.

    Why should the rest of us pay for you to sit there smoking and eating all day into an early grave because you did not want to pay for health insurance, but still expect to see a doctor in an emergency.

    also the amount changed is not unreasonable.
