More government control, less freedom

Posted July 30, 2013 4:40 am

Concerning Obamacare, Mr. Minnerick thinks the GOP is looking out for “those lobbyists on K Street and their political donors.” Apparently the Democrats have no lobbyists or political donors.

That is just silly. For two years after Obama signed this health care law he insisted it was not a tax. The supreme court said it was a tax because the government cannot mandate you must purchase something but the government can mandate you pay taxes.

So now we have a massive new tax increase to provide health care for everyone. But wait, there are about 1,500 waivers for Obamacare and half of those are unions. I wonder what political part they support?

Look, Obamacare has 15,000 pages of regulations that will be a disaster to administer. More government control equals less freedom.
