[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who do you think will pay for pre-existing condition coverage as it stands?  WE will - and I don't mind that either.  It doesn't matter if that provision is Obamacare or Romneycare.  Who cares.

As for tax loopholes, unless you are a tax lawyer, just shut up because you are not able to discuss this in an informed manner.  Meanwhile, if you are so concerned about taxes, go write Senator Reid and Marie Antionette Pelosi and ask them why [b]they and all the Dems wanted to raise everybody's taxes and not extend the Bush tax cuts[/b].  How low to throw people barely making more than the poverty level under the bus and try to raise their taxes and go on television and proclaim to be the champion of the middle class.  Very low.[/quote]

Now you know this is a lie, so why do you insist on repeating this lie.  They only want to raise taxes on those making over 250k agi.  I don't know of one person making 250K agi who is poverty stricken.  Heck, they are not even poor or working class.  [/quote]

And to clarify pp's point further, the proposed higher taxes apply only to income that EXCEEDS $250,000 AGI. It's not like suddenly they pay higher taxes on their entire income. Those high-income earners continue to get the benefits of the Bush tax cuts that apply to their first $250,000 of income. Nobody proposes taking those away.[/quote]

Hey, PP is right, if you let the Bush tax cuts expire, those people barely making more than the poverty level will have to pay more on their capital gains . . . Please.

Even Friedrich Hayek said that you don't cut taxes unless the government has a surplus. I wish Republicans would actually read "The Road to Serfdom" instead of just skimming the Cliff Notes.  If you did, you would realize that Hayek was in favor of many types of regulations Republicans want removed (yes, including environmental regulations) and that he believed the state should ensure that everyone has "some minimum of food, shelter and clothing, sufficient to preserve health."

Paul Ryan can't just pick and choose parts of Hayek's theories if he truly wants to move the American economy away from one based on Keynesian theory.[/quote]
