    Hope for Youth?

    I don't think there is any question that some game the system to their advantage. I think that will always be there. But your article confirms that there isn't enough of them one percenters to pay for everyone else. That is why we are 17 trillion in debt.

    I can't believe you left that out! :cool: I think I could support that policy!

    Made a slight adjustment. Want to make sure I can provide therapy sessions at more than one place. ;)

    ACA Another take

    No...there is no federal verification on navigators. Some states are doing background checks but not all. The republicans are introducing a bill to shut them down. I couldn't find that specific link from yesterday but this one explains among several others. ACORN Redux: The ObamaCare...

    ACA Another take

    That is true. A local TV station went undercover and filmed the navigators do that exact same thing. Shouldn't be surprised though as they were all people from the ACORN group. That is the same morons that got busted trying to get people to vote for Obama during the last election.

    ACA Another take

    Navigators are the ones hired by the government to help people apply. The downside is you are giving your personal information to someone who might not be screened or qualified. The secretary of health already said in last weeks hearing that you could be giving your information to a previous...

    ACA Another take

    I still think the 27k is really just the navigators that signed up. They aren't talking.;)

    You aren't getting anything for the money because it gets paid and the government wastes it. That we do agree on. That is why you don't see any "bang for the buck". As for business tax, you wrote, I interpreted that as you were for raising business taxes or "doing something to earn them"...

    Hope for Youth?

    But you are against giving tax breaks to business. Can't have it both ways. As far as taxes, for a variety of reasons, that "47 percent" are getting benefits from the government. The top ten percent or "the rich" foot the bill. As a percentage, the rich pay far more taxes than the average joe...

    Hope for Youth?

    No....not true. It is those tax breaks that have brought Volvo, Volkwagan,Mercedes, Daimler,Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan and the list goes on. But you do notice the effects of unions on these places. I would say it has worked. Take those jobs away and see what you have. On a side note, what...

    Hope for Youth?

    Thirty years ago you could use that thinking. We are now in a global economy so the US can't price itself out of the market. Have to realize that many of the largest investors that "create jobs" are foreign investors. They want tax breaks to come here. Give them none, and they go somewhere else...

    Hope for Youth?

    That is the problem. Some seem to think a low wage/low skill job should provide for a family. They aren't designed for that. As far as greed at the top, that certainly exists but it is really a small number and continues to shrink. If you took every penny they have, you are nowhere close to...

    A few I would say are the same source but most are not.

    Hope for Youth?

    And that is why you have to provide work for the people that are desperate. Look, we have thrown billions with a capital "B" at welfare and guess what, the number doesn't change. It goes up. So giving them everything under the sun is not the answer. That should only apply to vets and the...

    My start to finish in expediting

    Probably time for another reality check. The truth is mostly in the middle of the two observations/conversations. It is true that there is a massive daily bidding war on van freight. That is why you see the rates you do. Part of it is competition and part of it is carrier greed. Most of...

    ACA Another take

    Probably so. I will give them credit though, the 50k that signed up I believe are the navigators.:cool:

    ACA Another take

    I read today that the good news is with Obamacare is that they signed up 440,000 people for medicaid. The bad news is only 50,000 signed up in the exchanges. Since the 440,000 is Free Insurance, they don't have anyone to pay for it. Oops, I guess they do. Wait until people see those rates on...

    I believe you have just made the argument for able body people to work for their benefits.
