  • Mailmen from USPS HAVE to give you your mail...are they slaves too...

  • @goldenchopsticks

    Slaves can't quit a job - they are slaves. But as the old Bob Dylan song says: "no matter who you are, you have to serve someone".

  • If the founding fathers heard about this, they would be off to home depot to get supplies to build gallows.

  • Pete Stark is a certifiable dip ship. This son of a bitch should be in jail.\

  • oh! look up how horrible it is that the government provide to all the citizens with a health care service!!! you don't want to be like the fascist country at the north. Canadians uh! who want to be like them...

  • This is utterly insane, I'm amazed at the support the people who have commented on this video are giving to this women's argument. I'm not American so you can ignore me if you want, but if you call public health entitlement "slavery" then that's like being robbed in front of a police officer, begging them for help and the police officer saying "what do I look like, your slave?".

  • the Government SUCKS!!

  • @Normanrs2004 Her argument does not fail, though the slavery aspect of it does. Her question about what limits there are if Obamacare is constitutional is spot on. Once we allow something like this in the name of "general welfare", what end could there be?

  • Get him out of office.... VOTE ERIC SWALWELL for Congress 2012

  • To think that there are people like this in our governments across the nation at all, much less lead my state's congressional delegation, is mind-boggling.

  • Ron Paul for president 2012!

  • @david52875 Hopefully they'd purchase material from an endangered mom & pop hardware store.

  • @goldenchopsticks Mailmen can quit their job. If you accept the responsibility of handling mail you agreed to it. USPS is doomed anyway. loses 9 billion a year. I will laugh when FedEx takes it all over. The laws of economics dictate that it will end, besides we have e-mail.

  • @goldenchopsticks

    Mailmen have a choice. They can do the job they AGREED to do and deliver my mail or they can quit.

    They of course could also claim delivering mail is too stressful and file for disability

  • Her argument is absolutely ridiculous. Having a law that requires a service be offered is most certainly not the equivalent of slavery. If that were true than everyone in the auto insurance, food safety, police and fire department, and in fact elected office are "slaves" - these are all services which legally must be offered. I also find it ridiculous that someone like this asks a question but refuses to listen to an answer. The infringement of privacy issue is important, but this argument fails

  • @cvminutemen Here are some of the people who'll also be needing assistance. Did you think of them? finance[dot]yahoo[dot]com/bank­ing-budgeting/article/113254/e­xtreme-debtors-cnnmoney?mod=bb­-debtmanagement

  • @cvminutemen And what may I ask is your vision for society? All for themselves? How exactly does that work? You do not have any tolerance for those who are not like you. You have 2 choices: accept that there are winners and losers in the world and deal with it for the betterment of all, or hoard your money and live out where you don't have to pay into any system. Is that what you would like to do? Do you not understand how you are being ripped off daily by the super rich? Help me understand you.

  • @cvminutemen My mistake.Either way, you made a judgement about me based on one comment. First off, I'm not a liberal. They are the problem.They are interested mostly in the perception of things, not real change. Secondly, I didn't vote for Obama, I voted Nader. Let me see if I can pigeonhole you. Libertarian? Tea Partier? More interested in picking on the poor than any one white collar crime that could equal the amount of this dreaded "food stamp abuse"? It's super easy to pick on the poor.

  • @haysfordays

    I said that MANY will take advantage of the system. And I didn't say "you people". I said "you Liberals". How is that "uncivil"?? The fraud is out there and easy to find. I gave you just one example. Look for yourself, if you think you can handle the truth...

  • @cvminutemen "You people"? I tried to be civil with you but you just proved my point. See, it's about working together. Not apart. Someone has convinced you and others who believe what you believe that you better hold on to everything you got because everyone's "scamming" the system. And once again, where are the numbers? I don't mean the occasional article, but the cold hard numbers. A record # of people on food stamps? You better believe it! Why don't you go ahead and cut minimum wage then?

  • @haysfordays

    Why is it always about lack of respect, racism, intolerance, etc with you liberals?  How about that people will be people & when lots of money is at stake, many will take advantage of the situation? 44 million people are on food stamps - that's a record. I've seen people buy groceries with stamps & jump into a brand new car. Here's just one story I quickly found online.

  • @cvminutemen "safety nets' commonly become a way of life" Where is the proof of this? I hear it again and again. Sounds like an excuse. There's an overall lack of respect in this country that's bred out of racism, lack of trust, intolerance and misunderstanding. There are low-lifes in every society based on the kind of inequality we have in America. There is no proven way to make poor people self-sustaining. So you have 2 choices: let them suffer and bring the rest of us down, or be pro-active.

  • @haysfordays

    We need safety nets, but the "safety nets' commonly become a way of life and are paid for by the 50% of us who actually pay taxes. We have no choice but to pay (our money is taken under threat) and many of us 50% are sick of paying for other people's problems and short falls in America. Life is tough.

  • @cvminutemen I don't know about "qualifications", but our hearts don't seem to be in the right place when we argue against the welfare of our fellow countrymen. Sure, the health care reform is a giveaway to insurance companies, but shouldn't the argument focus how we can better care for those who can't afford it? I think that it's downright embarrassing that a nation this prosperous lags the world in providing it's citizens low cost solutions to the most basic human needs. But what do I know?
