Wall Street=investors free to make and "lose" money (course, being

socialist now...the taxpayers got screwed anyway with bailouts).



Socialism=A lazy, non-productive society

Bush did the bailouts. Most were paid back. Obama's plan will make the

banks provide their own fucking bailout or go out of business. You are

brainwashed by the likes of Beck.

Do you even know what is socialist in the USA? ALL the congresspersons

are covered by socialized medicine yet the hypocritical Republicans

don't want YOU to have that type of coverage. The first full face

transplant was done in Spain, a partially socialist country.



Is Joseph McCarthy your hero?

The banks will pass that cost on to their customers...you aren't

punishing the banks.

And the Government will rob from that money pile like they do SSI.

I have health care, you loon.

Most people do...and a large portion that don't, *choose* not to have

it.They spend that money on luxury items they otherwise couldn't afford.

It's they're choice to spend their money as they see fit.



This new plan...I will once again foot the bill for people who just

don't feel like trying so hard. People who...instead of getting health

insurance...choose to travel, or take a vacation, or buy that huge HDTV.

from the '50s?



I have no heroes ... my opinions are my own.

That's right Alias, conservatives actually "think this way" all on

their own. I don't follow anyone, wasn't "taught" to think this

way...it's a by-product of my up-bringing.

Explain how the taxpayers got screwed when these are in the

process of/have been paid back ? That would equate it to more of

a loan, would it not ?



You should also research 'socialism' and not rely on what others

tell you what they think it is, even though you claim....'I have

no heroes ... my opinions are my own.'

Really? How much is the deductible? How much do YOU have to pay of the

bill? 20%? Could you afford to have a triple by pass? Would your

insurance cover all the costs? And, dumb fuck, what the hell would you

do if you were diagnosed with heart disease and your beloved insurance

company dropped you like a hot potato?



Health care in the hands of a for profit company is just stupid. Course,

you don't see any congresspersons buying insurance. They have complete

sole payer coverage. So do I.

If we are being payed back, why is the debt growing larger?

It's not going back in my pocket...it will be distibuted thru various

entitlement programs...to those that didn't pay for the bailout, as they

don't pay taxes.



You have no understandinig of this shit, do ya?

Using the tax system as a form of wealth redistribution and forced

charity is socialism, dumbass junior.
