Maybe we wouldn't have so many people without health care if we didn't have so many people out of work. Obama should be focusing on getting people back to work before he concentrates on forcing them to spend money they don't have on health care insurance they don't want. Our country, and most of the world, is facing the worst economy since the great depression and all he can think about is spending more money. The last I heard, 27% of Americans were out of work. That is the 10% who are drawing unemployment and the 17% who are considered "discouraged workers" because they have run out of benefits and still don't have a job. I would be discouraged too. Wonder if that job offer at Orkin is still open??
I live in the real world and this is going to affect each and every one of us.
Hey Voters and people who need to register to vote and do so,What are you going to do when you are faced with paying $400.00 a month per person in your family for health insurance? If you cannot afford to pay it your government has stated that they will give you a tax credit so that you can better afford it. What if you already don't pay taxes. Think about it, what is that going to do to the people who still have a job. Think about all the people who have lost their jobs. Now think about all the people who make minimum wage and have a kid or 2. I know you don't think there are any people out there who make mimimum wage. Hate to tell you, you are wrong!!! There are tons of people out there not only making minimum wage or barely above but there are a whole lot of people who don't even make minimum wage and I'm not talking about the illegal aliens. For instance, in Missouri they just raised the minimum wage for waitresses from $2.13 an hour to $2.50 an hour.
Food Service workers in New York --waiters and waitresses -- who earn at least $2.55 per hour in tips may be paid at a minimum wage rate of $4.60 per hour. Source(s): www.labor.state.ny.us New Jersey sets their minimum wage for waitress at $2.13/hour Source(s): http://www.paywizard.org/main/Minimumwag In Michigan the waitress wage is around $2.45. In Kansas $2.13 an hour. In Atlanta. 2.13 an hour. In Maryland, tipped employees (servers) receive $3.28 per hour. The reason I'm bringing this up is yes they get tips but a lot of them don't even make enough tips to bring them up to minimum wage. Their bosses are only obligated to bring them up to minimum wage if they do not make it. The really sad part about this whole thing is [and I've known some that this has happened to ] when you have a boss who declares that you made enough tips to make minimum wage and you don't. If you confront him or her about it, they tell you, it's either this or you look for another job. Yeah right in this economy your going to look for another job. And if that isn't bad enough, now the government thinks you made minimum wage so thats what you are taxed on. Some of these people live in small towns where it would cost them more in gas to work somewhere else. Almost all of the McDonalds, Wendys, Burger Kings, etc. [all fast food] at least start at minimum wage, and most don't ever pay much more unless you become a manager. Subway, here in my town only paid their Manager $7.00 per hour.
This insurance folks is not going to be an option. You are going to be mandated to have this insurance. What are these people going to do? They're not. YOU ARE!! [going to pay for it I mean]. And this is on top of what you are going to have to pay for yourself.
I personally do not want their insurance. BUT if I don't take it I could either go to jail or get a hefty fine or lose my home. If you own a home they figure you can afford their insurance.
Have you seen the incentives to senators to vote for Obamacare? One senator was promised that his state would not have to pay for their insurance if he voted yes. [you get to pay for it]. One senator got promised a new hospital if he voted yes. Not only the building but all the equipment too. [you get to pay for it.] Those are the ones I know of. They are telling you that they are going to put a tax on sun tanning to pay for this. Yeah right!!! And how many other things.
I'm telling you that if we the people don't do something about this we are going to be taxed for everything including wiping our -sses.
Plus the politicians don't have to be on our plan, they get top quality medical care and guess what? YOU PAY FOR IT TOO!!!
We cannot just sit back and say someone else will fix it. Or just say how can we do anything. We need to be physically active.Grassfire and the Patriot Resistance are 2 good organizations. All though I believe that we need to get rid of all parties, I don't think that is possible right now. So I am going to give up both Democrats and Republicans. I'm going to the Constitutional party. Find out when and where they are having a meeting and go.
At least 80% of the people are reported as not wanting this Obamacare, so tell me again, why are they getting away with this?? We let them do the big bailout without much of a fight. If we let them get away with this what is the next thing they are going to do to us?
