How Hillary will pay for her universal healthcare plan

[Sundowner]

A now a word from the "It's-not-a-new-tax-if-it's-a-payroll-garnishment" department.

".....Also Sunday, Clinton said she might be willing to have workers' wages garnisheed if they refuse to buy health insurance.

The New York senator has criticized Obama for pushing a health plan that she says would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not always specified how she would enforce 100 percent enrollment. But when pressed during a television interview, she said: "I think there are a number of mechanisms" that are possible, including "going after people's wages, automatic enrollment."

Clinton said such measures would apply only to workers who can afford health coverage but refuse to buy it, which puts undue pressure on hospitals and emergency rooms. Under her plan, she said, health care "will be affordable for everyone" because she would limit premium payments "to a low percent of your income....."

They have to get the money from somewhere.. they have already spent every penny and then some that they have extorted from us.

Every day a democrat comes up with a new idea for a tax or a fee (same thing).

In the end.. the only reliable way of taking our money is to make our employers take it away from us before we get it.

Look at your lives people...  every day it seems a new fee or tax is put on you.. most are hidden but they grow till one day you say "what is this $1 a month internet for negros fee on my cell phone?"

The present taxes are plenty, they just need to be managed better.
Sounds like yet more government bloat.

Government by "men" rather than "law" is no fun when your "men" are not in control.

Of course, you all get on the Dems for hair-brained money-raising schemes. But I don't see a lot of people wondering how the Republicans expect to pay for EXISTING programs by reducing the cash-flow INTO the government, much less starting up new ones.

There's two sides to this issue.

Do I AGREE with Hillary's stance? HELL NO. But spending money without first SECURING it is only going to make things worse.

Time and Time again, after cutting taxes, tax revenues have went UP.

That has to be the singular dumbest thing posted I've ever seen.

Please cite one instance where the above has happened.

Take Florida's new cut on property tax that just was just passed.  Suddenly municipalities are laying off fireman and police, and cutting education.... sounds like revenue must have gone up!

Cite one where it isn't the case. And show me a case where raising taxes resulted in an increase of revenue that was sustained.


The Kennedy and Reagan tax cuts resulted in increased revenue, and economic prosperity that lasted.

People are only going to stand for being fleeced for so long. Keep raising taxes and see what happens next.

I hate to have to tell you this, but the solution to all the problems that exist is NOT to keep taking more and more money from people and companies that EARN it, and spend it on whatever the whim of some government moron is this week. People are getting sick of it. They'll get even sicker when politicians tax all of their jobs out of existence, and then keep trying to raise taxes.
