Sen Orrin Hatch Comes Clean on GOP Motivation: Blocking Health Care to Prevent Permanent Democratic Majority

[Smartassawhip]

911 There is new petition out by bold progressives that needs signatures. It has 120,000 and they want 150,000. I have the link to it in the comment section of my profile. Sign it and then pass it on!

Good News! AARP & the American Medical Assn have just announced that they're supporting the House health reform bill.

Republiturds playing politics as usual instead of doing whats best for America and the people, gee I never saw that one comming. Kinda like when they were for spending and the bailout when Bush was Pres. but now they absolutely despise bailouts and spending now that Obama is Pres. Fuck all republiturds!

Lets put Hatch up for a Death Panel.

He looks kind of old.

Its so interesting why they dont say why it would be impossible to turn back the socialization of parts of the economy...maybe because people will LIKE IT and PREFER it to the false choices they have now! This douchebag's discourse gives us more reason to fight for what is right--no pun intended--for the American people.

Where's he pull that statistic? Out of his ass? There is no way 40% of working Americans don't pay income tax.

[CO2Junkie]

I was wondering the same thing. Or is he counting those under 15 years of age & those over 70 years of age?

If you count the kids & the disabled & the retired then yeah maybe. But they aren't income-tax free because they are dependent on the Federal government.

[lynchmobb2000]

Exactly, and if he was telling the truth, he would point out that 60% of domestic corporations paid no federal taxes in the past 10 years and that 70% of foreign companies doing business in the US paid no federal taxes.

That is why we have exploding deficits, because 30% of the federal tax burden is paid by individual taxpayers. In the 1950's that number was <10%.
