None of the talking heads in the media have been able to answer this.. They all say, "Oh, these lawsuits will fail" and "Oh they have no legal case" etc etc... But NO ONE has been able to say WHY.... Funny how that is, eh?? Hell, the very scary precedent it sets should be enough to have ya'all screaming for the hills. Imagine a GOP Controlled Congress and White House forcing ya'all to buy GM Trucks and SUVs because it's for the good of the country... How would ya'all feel about THAT!?? :D Strictly discussing the LEGAL issues, there is no way that CrapCare will be found to be constitutional. CrapCare's only hope is that Obama will be able to stack the SCOTUS in his favor before CrapCare comes before it. Michale.....

For this, I am going to give you an example of a college economics professor at an upstate New York school of higher education. This professor's class had insisted that Obama's "redistribution of wealth" program can work and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.... After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a D. Now, no one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that redistribution of wealth would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. The fatal flaw in Obama's plan is that it fails to take into account human nature. It makes grand assumptions about human beings that just aren't true. Michale.....

Allow me to explain to ya'all why Obama's agenda simply will not work in the here and now..

First, let's take CrapCare and the precedent that it's mandate sets..

So, we have a "direct order" from the Federal Government that tells us we HAVE to buy Health Insurance...

Why??

Because it serves the "greater good"...

Now, down the line, what can that lead to??

Well, the government can order us to eat healthier...

Why???

Because it serves the "greater good"...

The government can order us to buy more economical cars..

Why??

Because it serves the "greater good"...

Can ya'all even POSSIBLY conceive how the "greater good" argument leads us into a totalitarian state, a'la DEMOLITION MAN....

"Anything not good for you is bad, hence, illegal. Alcohol, caffeine, contact sports, meat . . . Bad language, child play, gasoline, uneducational toys, and anything spicy. Abortion is also illegal. But, then again so is pregnancy, if you don't have a license."

To paraphrase that same movie, "I've seen {Obama's Agenda}. You know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin, sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing, "I'm an Oscar Meyer wiener."

Next, we'll look at "redistribution of wealth" and all that THAT implies..

It's a fairly detailed article, but worth a read. I have two problems with the methodology, one of which the author admits to in the article. (1) not everyone of every age thinks the same, so it's more "trends" than hard data points. (2) While people's thinking does change over time, it's hard to establish baselines because today's youth (for instance) is much more liberal in some aspects than the youth of my day (on gay rights, for instance) and trending more conservative on other issues (abortion, for instance). So it'd be hard to say that one age feels one way when that's kind of a moving target. But, like I said, nitpicking aside, it is an excellent article with lots of very cool graphs -- thanks to nypoet22 for pointing it out! -CW Oh, and I highly recommend anyone who likes charts to check out the link nypoet22 posted.
