This entire article had my thoughts sputtering incoherently, but when I got to this gem, I think I felt a minor explosion somewhere in my brain:
"Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was a New York senator at the time as well as a presidential candidate, said a mandate was essential. At one point, she said she was open to garnisheeing the wages of anyone who refused to comply."
That's right. If you decide that you cannot afford or do not want health insurance, she thinks it's a great idea to just TAKE THE MONEY FROM YOU WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!
I intend to spend more time exploring the road to Hell by way of socialized medicine, but I just had to "impulse-blog" on this piece. It absolutely blows my mind that ANYONE would so SHAMELESSLY admit that they think they (as members of a bloated beauracracy) have ANY right to money that THEY DIDN'T EARN!! I think that that bothers me more than the fact that she said it-- the fact that she said it without immediately hanging her head in SHAME and apologizing for such an arrogant display of presumptuousness. Then again, that she made the statement at all seems to indicate that she has no shame.

My dear child, you don't understand because you don't speak government. Look up a term called "tax expenditures". To get you started, on the government's....P&L statement (profit and loss), i.e. their ledger, the money that they keep of yours is revenue. The money you keep is called a tax expenditure. In regular Joe speak, what you keep, is an expenditure on their part, because they didn't get all of what you earned. Well, that's enough to get you started on it. Dig a little more and be careful you don't blow a coronary.
