... in two words... POWER and CONTROL. The IRS will be keeping track of EVERYONE in America on a MONTHLY basis, and if you haven't purchased some sort of health care that THEY APPROVE OF, then they're going to DOCK your INCOME 2%, or $2,250, which ever is HIGHER, as a FINE! Unconstitutional? You bet yur ass it is. Do the liberals care? Hell no. The constitution is just something the liberals are aware of. They don't give a SHIT about what it says or following it. They just want to CONTROL you, and your MONEY, ALL OF IT, and this MASSIVE health industry take over would give them ANOTHER MONTROUS power grab to do just that.

Just the first shots of complete government takeover and control of your life. That freedom stuff you always heard about is quickly drying up.
 
Got to love that direct debit access to our checking accounts, too! On the Chinese Calendar this should be listed as "The Year Of The Ass Hats".

Wake up! We are actually experiencing nothing more than a socialist power grab. Either you are in a dreamworld or you need to educate yourself....try reading The Road To Serfdom by Hayek...before the book gets banned...

Hayek wrote this book in 1944 as a defense of 19th century liberal ideals, which were far different from the liberal ideals of the 20th century. The ideal of individual liberty - the belief that each individual should be free to pursue his own destiny within his own narrow sphere - is viewed and defended as one of the greatest achievements of Western civilization. This great accomplishment, Hayek warned, is incompatible with socialism. Individual liberty must be destroyed wherever socialism exists.

He believed that the Anglo Saxon democracies, by pursuing the chimera of economic security and equality that socialism promised, were treading the same path to serfdom as had Germany and Italy after WW-I.

In place of individual liberty, socialism offers security. It promises protection from personal economic necessities and restraints, and an equality of economic well being.

From his perspective, as a native of Central Europe who had experienced the rise of fascism and communism throughout Europe, Hayek concluded that fascism and communism were not opposites, but very similar creeds based on autocratic socialism. Their goals of "social welfare," "the good of the community," "social justice," and "fairness," are open ended and provide no real guidance as to what is and is not desirable or required of the system. Their ideological goals justify authoritarian means, and the practical requirements of complex central planning require extensive arbitrary and discretionary powers.

Ultimately, with all freedoms compromised, socialism offers only "the security of the barracks."

Collectivism justifies any means to achieve its great ends. Any expediency is justified, no matter how it may affect individuals or small groups, for the benefit of the whole. The "greater goal" justifies even horrific means.

You don't even know what socialism is you fucking idiot...there's plenty of socialism in America...it's called a subsidized market... socialism and welfare for corporations. We, the people must deal with a 'free' market...free to steal and plunder the masses and have us PAY to clean up their mess...

Like Government isn't the silent partner behind the monopolies, and subsidies you stupid fuck. The left brought most of the socialist aspects into the system in the first place. Never could grasp the concept of private property, that wasn't yours in the first place, fuck wad.
