[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But he's good with the tax plan benefiting the rich passive investor (as opposed to the rich working person).

Apparently the quote during debate was:

“[L]et me tell you something: we’re going to do CHIP. There’s no question about it in my mind. It’s got to be done the right way. But we, the reason CHIP’s having trouble is because we don’t have money anymore.”

Hatch went on to condemn the idea of “more and more spending.” After praising the “terrific job” CHIP has done for families who need help, he immediately added, [b]“I have a rough time wanting to spend billions and billions and trillions of dollars to help people who won’t help themselves – won’t lift a finger – and expect the federal government to do everything.”[/b]

Why don't we propose legislation to put all those CHIP kids to work in coal mines? And we could have a special provision for the coal mine owners that they pay no tax at all![/quote]

Why would anyone disagree with what is shown in bold? [/quote]

That's not what CHIP is.  That's my disagreement with what Hatch just said.

CHIP is children's health insurance.  It's not helping people who won't lift a finger.

Don't they get Medicaid? We have three insurance programs to give care to poor and low income (free if they can't afford it): Medicaid, Obamacare, and CHIP. Do we really need all three? If people aren't poor enough for Medicaid, then they get free care through Obamacare. We don't need CHIP, too.

CHIP IS a Medicaid program.  Jesus Christ, if you don't know what the fuck you are talking about just STFU.  [/quote]
Another filthy-mouth liberal. You complain that conservatives aren't kind, and then you talk like that? Can't you speak with common decency when you are making a plea for common decency?

We had Medicaid LONG before CHIP. It should should have been abolished when Obamacare was enacted. How many duplicate ways do we need to provide care for the poor? It's like that WaPo article with food.....the poor family had concurrent options. They could eat the shelter meals taxpayers were provIding, or they could use their food stamps the taxpayers are providing, or they could eat at a restaurant with the welfare taxpayers are providing. All at the same time.

P.S. Use the f-word in violation of the forum rules again, and you're being reported.

You are a terrible person. More worried about PP's language than the children who will be hurt by this.

Go to hell.

And yet another hateful liberal.

Did I ever say I don't care about poor children? Did I ever say we shouldn't take care of them? NO! All I did was have the gall to question whether the government is duplicating efforts by having some poor children covered by CHIP, and other poor children covered by subsidized ObamaCare plans. Do liberals feel so entitled to taxpayer money for whatever social programs they create that we are not even allowed to question possible redundancies and inefficiencies?

Apparently not. In the liberal world, taxpayers are just supposed to fork over as much money as liberals demand and never question whether programs could be streamlined without causing any loss of benefits. YOU go to hell. [/quote]
