A very dear but liberal friend of mine posted a Huff-Post article today titled Hate Obamacare? Don't Worry Here Are Countries you Can Move To. I tried to open it but the link was faulty (typical for the Huff-post) so I cant comment directly. However, I started thinking for a minute "What if all conservatives left the county?". What if The liberals had no opposition to their agenda. Here is my predictions.
1. Military spending would be reduced to 10 percent of the current budget. Troops would come home and they would mostly sign up for college classes, taking advantage of the GI Bill.
2. Obamacare would be immediatly converted to a single payer system since that is the longterm goal of liberals and without conservatives to block it, WHY WAIT? It's utopia, everything is free!
3. With those pesky military guys out of the way all military bases and the Pentagon would be turned into government housing for the "Occupy Movement". Aircraft carriers are converted into floating luxary appartments for the homeless.
4. The unions are loved by all and all workers are now protected by the union of their choice. All employees make equal wages regarless of age, race, creed, religion, skill, education, sex or anything else. Evil CEO's are a thing of the past, they make the same wage as the janitor. Perfect fairness prevails, you get paid the same whether you work hard or not at.
5. Hmmm, despite the high pay of all the union jobs, after union dues and the 73 percent income tax, there isnt much left to live on. Government housing is free now and healthcare is totally free. Well, at least when the union doctors and nurses decide to come to work.
6. Transportation is a becoming a problem too. Since we stopped pumping oil in America gas prices have gone up to 18.00 per gallon. There are incentives to driving an electric car but the union built car cost 87,000.00. The environment is beautiful though. The trees are big and the web-footed red-crested lake loon can fly peacfully and unencumbered by all the scurvy, mean, hateful, rebublicans that used to live here.
7. The congressional right wing now lead by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Schummer, and Al Sharpton have done away with budgets completely. Tax revenues are up 227 percent but spending is up 367 percent. It's worth it though since everyone has equal outcomes in their employment. The Chinese are a tad pissy though, somthing about interest payments. I dont know they must be racists. They dont get it. Hate is part of their culture, evidently.
8. Oh shit we are being attacked and we have no military to protect us. The people have no guns since we did away with the second amendment and private gun ownership. Looks like we are gonna loose New York to an enemy. Funny, I didnt see Switzerland as a military force. The citizens tried to reason with the enemy and share some snacks with them but they will not listen.
9. In th meantime, the former GOP members who moved to europe have gotten things in line there. The economic problems are a thing of the past, people are working, motivivated by opportunity and excellence. Investors are investing, companies are expanding, socialzed medicine has been discontinued. The best and the brightest are becoming doctors, regulations have been reduced to a resonable amount, the trial lawyers have been given their walking papers and malpractice insurance is affordable. We will probably come home as soon as the Peoples Republic of Switzerland finishes kicking the shit out of the hippies.

SCOTUS Rules, What Now
The Supreme Court has once again ruled in a manner that is not black and white but a whiter shade of pale. Chief Justice Roberts writes in the majority that the individual mandate cannot be upheld by the commerce clause but Congress does have the authority to tax the people. Regardless of the details, history will recognize that the court upheld "Obama-care" as constitutional. It would be simple to side with the minority opinion which was too throw out the entire law as unconstitutional. However, I agree with Chief Justice Roberts that it is not the courts job to determine whether or not the law is good, just whether it violates our constitution. It is our job hold our public servants accountable.
SO LETS HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE!
First, I will point out that President Obama himself made the best argument against the individual mandate. He correctly points out that in Massachusetts, many could not afford the coverage and now they must pay a new "TAX." So not only are they without health care coverage but they have even less money. It appears the president changed his mind or else he simply used good logic when debating Hillary Clinton.
The Effect On The Middle Class
The Democrats have long touted their association with the working man and the middle class. Once again, the policy they have created will be paid for by regular "Joes" like me. The Affordable Healthcare Tax Act will not effect the wealthy as they all have health care coverage already. The poor cannot afford it and will get it for free as they have no way to pay the "TAX" or the premiums. The middle class is the target rather of the new "TAX" rather than the beneficiary of the new law.
The only way this new law passes constitutional muster is as a "TAX". Here is what Obama said about new taxes while campaigning. Read his lips!
Something Smells Fishy
When considering what President Obama's motive for this new law. He is on the record saying that he really is for a single payer program where the government is the sole health insurance company. We are 100% dependent on them for all of our health care needs. He believes that the new law is a stepping stone to single payer. As shown in the video below.
One problem I see is that the "TAX" is likely less expensive than the insurance premiums. If I was young and healthy I might opt to pay the "TAX" instead of buying the required coverage. If I was a struggling business owner I might opt to pay the "TAX" for my employees rather than actual health care coverage. Reducing costs is very important and may be the difference in companies surviving this depression* and going out of business. The mean uncaring business owner would then be portrayed as an evil employer and the next logical move would be to advance to single payer which is Obama's plan to begin with. If the idea of single payer sounds attractive to you, go into a busy post office, the BMV, or some other government office and tell me you want these folks to take over health care.
Bottom Line
If you believe Obama-care is going to save you money, you are mistaken. If you don't currently have health insurance you will be forced to buy it or pay the "TAX." I guess this makes me Pro-Choice! We must all join together to rid ourselves of Barrack Obama and other congressional Democrats. I was not very excited about Mitt Romney but I will cast my vote for him in November.
