Skipped over this part though didn't ya?

"A key revenue item in the bill: a 5.4% income tax increase on couples earning more than $1 million per year, and a 1% increase on incomes over $350,000 per year."

Now if you tell me how that burdens you personally? ....

What little industry Somalia has primarily serves their domestic market.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

That's one of the things that gripe me about the opposition. They will not even be hit by the tax increases used to pay for this, but they roar like a hell-hog over it on behalf of those who make these large incomes.

You think those making 350k and up would be squealing on your behalf if it hit only those making 350k and under? I seriously doubt it. . .

Okay then what foreign country was the material manufactured in, because it was not manufactured here.

....and something IS slipping past that is VERY important.....and it is going to COST ALL Americans dearly....

What is slipping past is your ability to comprehend. DO we have to beat you upside your head with a 2x4 to get you to read this?

If they acknowledge it, they'll have nothing left about which to bitch.

and you just believe that for simply THEIR word of it right?...

I don't believe in anything, but what I see is happening.....spending nearly a $$trillion dollars of money we don't have...and no real proof that it is going to make things better than it is now.

according the the very group YOU said...the CBO said the following: 

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The Congressional Budget Office said Thursday a U.S. House health-care system re-write would extend health insurance to 96% of the nonelderly U.S. population by 2019, and spend $1.055 trillion to do so.

Honestly I don't know WHAT to believe.......but believing in Nancy Pelosi and company is NOT something that I even remotely trust in.....and call me a conspiracy theorist or whatever....but I think there IS a bigger agenda than simply supply healthcare to all americans....

Nancy Pelosi didn't produce those numbers. Don't change the subject. The CBO says ...
