Much more at the source:Much has been made about how Democrats are committing political suicide with the healthcare bill and all the other onerous legislation they have proposed and/or passed this year. There is no mistaking that these actions are extremely unpopular. The widespread uncertainty they have fostered in the business community by coupling job-killing legislation and talk of big tax increases with unprecedented, reckless deficit spending has kept our economy at a virtual standstill. And their insulting, arrogant, dishonest and blatantly corrupt behavior has brought citizen concern and anger to a fever pitch, while Democrat poll numbers plummet.
But those who believe in this "Democrat suicide" model implicitly assume next November's elections will be free and fair. Given ACORN’s antics, Democrat Secretaries of State literally stealing elections, shocking abuses of power by Democrats in Congress and the administration, the blatant thuggery of SEIU and other union activists, while the media covers for them, such an assumption is fairy tale fantasy. It would be funny to think some people actually have that much faith in Democrats, if the implications weren't so disastrous. As it is, one can only cry.
Every single Democrat in the Senate is now on record in support of the belief that the federal government literally has the power to order its citizens to use their own after-tax dollars to buy something it wishes them to buy, under threat of penalty.
The only reason I'm not 100% in despair yet is my hope that the House and Senate versions are so irreconcilably different that they'll never be able to agree on a single measure. Please, let it be so.
Likely, it will force you and your employees into the "Public Option", or some variant, by making what ever insurance product you have now too expensive or "unqualified".Does anyone know how much this is going to effect small businesses? I employ 15 guys. This year was tough enough. We had to really cut back in order to keep things going. We can't afford another tax increase.
Right beside you brother. Until this week I really hadn't given much consideration to a successful stop sign at the state level, but it is looking like this may be the way to go.We can either man up, or submit to tyranny.
If you mean the REALLY dark day will be when these nimrods hand a complete bill to President for signing, and he signs it, then I would agree that today isn't THE darkest day. If you "don't think it will be that bad", you are really kidding yourself or in need of more details about what affect this legislation could have.Wow....."third world country"....."America's darkest day in history"..........I would say that is a bit of an exaggeration.
"third world country"....I would say that is a bit of an exaggeration.
