    Well, I think it would be great if we didn't need insurance at all. If medical care was super affordable for the working class then there would be no need for "insurance." Imagine if a doctor visit cost the same as an oil change, or monthly prescribtion drugs were as much as a netflix membership! Won't happen. Know why?

    oooh sorry bro. Try not to fall asleep!

    I'm not sure what you mean. To my knowledge the Public Option that you want is for people who can't afford health insurance. That already exists and is called Medicaid.

    Poor management? My point was that taxes are passed on to the consumer as an increase in price. I believe tanning salons (typically a small business) are being taxed an additional 10% effective immediately. This means that tanning rates will go up.

    I can smoke and drink until I'm older and no longer healthy. When I start to get sick I will get insurance. Kind of like getting auto insurance after you've wrecked your car.

    Medicaid

    They will charge more. Their operating expenses have gone up. What happens to cigarette prices when taxes increase? Do you think any of the tobacco CEOs lose a dime of compensation each time a new tobacco tax is implemented. I'm not comparing cigs to HC but it's an easy example. The price is always passed on to the consumer. Just like your jump ticket gets more expansive when crude goes up.

    Don't really care because it doesn't affect me.

    Hate to blow out your candle Zimbo but I'm not the tard here. I'm a registered republican (for now) and was a teenage boy 10 years ago. So you twice called me "tard" which we all know is short for "REtard." I've seen some retards and I'm definately not a retard. I'm also too good looking to be retarded. Maybe I'm a little Ritarded sometimes (a music term meant to slow down tempo), and there's nothing wrong with that.

    I take that back

    Probably. I've seen the opposite in Canton Oh. Mellet was the big mall back in the day. The slow death started in the 90's when the theatre marquee began displaying chinese food specials in place of movies. Add a few shootings at the theatrer, theft, vacancy and the area started going bad. Then came walmart and with it many new stores. In a nutshell, that medum-size strip in canton has been revitalized, cleaned up, and made safer. There is a reason that every Applebee's restaurant purposely builds right in front of a Walmart.. I disagree with your point about "low-income." There are plennnty of higher income people who shop at walmart. I would guess that's partly because walmart carries name-brand merchandise at competetive prices. I've definately been in some piece of shit walmarts and there are things I don't buy there. Sometimes their prices are not so competitive either. edit: after actually reading your post I see that you said the exact same thing.

    I wouldn't buy stolen eyeware because someone else already paid for it. Maybe a stolen stereo.. this was the 490,000th post in SC !
  13. loumeinhart
    Yep. Oh wait, except for their extremely competitive prices on name-brand eyeware/contacts, convenient hours, friendly service, self-checkout lanes, a return police that rocks, and clean batrhrooms. Sometimes I get a laugh at the staff but some of these folks would be stuck at McDonalds or worse if it weren't for walmart. I'm a busy guy and I've been to every walmart in NE ohio multiple times. Maybe all companies should be "scummy"

    awesome post

    +1 cruisemarketwatch.com says that there will be 18.4 million cruise passengers in 2010. I grew up thinking that someone who could afford a cruise vacation were at least well-off if not rich. 18.4 million is a lot of people to be taking cruises while the rest of the world is starving to death and being raped by warlords

    and furthermore how the hell do we tax the rich? I guess we just walk into their homes and take 80% of their stuff. haha lmao
  17. loumeinhart
    Right. Except what if you don't have what I want. I need a pair of quality shades/goggles for the upcoming season. I have a stack of books, an old computer monitor, a car, and a dog. Which one should I trade for a new set of gatorz? Imagine the chaos when people walk down the street dragging everything they own shouting "Someone trade me a gallon of gas"!!
  18. loumeinhart
    Man up dude and tell us how much Also, you haven't told anyone on here WHO the super-rich are. I've named a few people (Madonna) I mean if you don't call Madonna super rich then you are craaaazy. That's why you're all bark and no bite. You come up with these utopian ideas of taxing the 'super rich' so we can all have better lives. How much do you want to tax Madonna?

    Many consumers (like me) spend less than they earn. If I want to make a purchase with borrowed money, I'll happily pay interest until it's paid off. I don't have to go to a family member, friend, church, loanshark, beg or steal. All I have to do is pull a piece of plastic out of my wallet, swipe it, and pay back the money according to my cardholder agreement.

    Sorry, but it's worked for me. Thanks to increased consumtion, higher incomes, lower prices, and a general upward mobility of the middle class, I can afford things I never would have been able to afford in 1985. Mobile telephone $75 Computer $800 88key yamaha p80 piano $500 I don't know what a cellphone or computer cost in 1985 but I know that an 88-key digital piano that sounded like shit cost around $5000 I think skydving/base gear has increased in price though

    I love this guy. I wonder if he ever argues with his alti. Alti: "3200ft" Dreamdancer: "haha what crap! take your nonsense to another wrist!"

    how does the society pick who it "makes rich"
  23. loumeinhart
    Seems that uyour problem is with 'entities' and dreamdamcer's is with individuals. No one emplyed by haliburton makes 45 million/year. Do you think that the screen actors guild or hollywood should pay as an entity? They certainly take peoples money and use it for there gain. So, is it entities or individuals? ENTITIES: - which ones should pay more taxes? INDIVIDUALS - which ones should pay more taxes? and what the hell makes an "entitie"
  24. loumeinhart
    UPDATE: nothing so far from dreamdancer. I hope he calls Madonna (net worth 350million) or Tim Robbins (net worth 45 million) and lets them know that he wants to tax them as much as possible to pay for government spending. I can't wait for that conversation.
  25. loumeinhart
    wait wait wait a second... Haliburton is "super rich" and Dreamdancer wants the "super rich" to pay more taxes. So does that mean that the "super rich" just pay taxes to themselves??? My brain is gonna explooode!
