Reply #106: The bill will NOT help my family at all. [View All]

[Zavulon]

It will be more expensive than what we already have, and we can't afford it. Despite your condescending note on what you've "bothered" to do, so have I. Your family and mine are not in the same situation; it will be much more expensive for me and it's money I don't have. As it is, I've had to take a part-time job in addition to my full-time one, and our three-income family is STILL barely getting by.

Further, it's a tax increase, as pointed out to Obama himself by George Stephanopolous. It's a violation of Obama's tax pledge. But no, Mr. President, don't go after the rich and expand an existing program, go after almost everyone and claim that it's technically not a tax increase. That'll make all of us feel better.

The young healthy people you're so willing to soak are doing poorly financially in the post-Bush economy and don't have a lot in their 401Ks or savings, but hey - support whatever crap comes down the pike, call people who don't like it "selfish" and then condescend to them by acting as if you're the only one who has read the particulars (not even a Capitol Hill politician is better at being dismissive of others, nicely done). Nice. I suppose that's all for the "common good" too. :eyes:

By the way, waste as much time on your answer as you like, but I won't be reading it. After your ridiculous "perhaps I can see the forest better since I've bothered to see how the bill will help me and my family," you'll be on ignore by the time you see this. It's people like you who sour me and countless others on politics. Go sell your nose-in-the-air "I'm more informed than you" drivel somewhere else.
