If you believe that, then you believe that democracy is doomed to blow up.
First of all, the US is a republic. No one got a direct vote on Obama care and my representatives were split on the vote, one R and one D. So me having a direct input, nil.
How does that alter the fact that you believe we can't repeal bad legislation once it becomes law? If we can't do that, then this country is doomed.
Most of those picked up on Obamacare were actually picked up because the requirements for medicaid were changed. There is little difference, that I see, between medicare, medicaid and Obamacare. It is my opinion that medicaid and medicare are not going anywhere and that means, sadly, that Obamacare isn't either.
Irrelevant minutiae.
You know, I don't agree with Obamacare simply because I think it's unconstitutional to make people buy a product. However, you are ridiculous, like a Chicken Little or something. The country is DOOMED!![]()
I said "IF we can't repeal bad legislation, this country is doomed." However, the fact is, this country has been swirling around the toilet bowl since WW II. Democracy is doomed to blow up. It's a one way process. It can't be reversed.
Things change. That doesn't mean the world is doomed, and no one says that you cannot repeal bad legislation. You have to convince people that it actually IS bad legislation.
Hmmm, yeah, that's exactly what you and freewill have been saying. Your confidence that the sins of democracy can easily be undone isn't born out by the empirical evidence.
I think the penalties that people have to pay in their taxes should be repealed. Americans should not be forced to buy a product by threat of fine, which is actually what this is, being a loophole through taxation.
The whole mess needs to be repealed. The fines are the least of it. The whole thing is an unmitigated disaster.
