    Poverty to Prosperity......

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The problem is that the so called anti-poverty programs do no such thing. It's not that I'm not compassionate; it's that I believe the programs in place and the programs advocated by...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    actually, not true. it was very dependent on the citizens having the freedom from gov't to succeed or fail, as they will. the general welfare clause cannot be construed as to allow anything congress...

    Poverty to Prosperity......

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I read this article recently, on point - sort of. It was complaining about the current generation of luxury laden, unappreciative brats. The article had the novel idea that it's Mr. Rogers' fault....

    Poverty to Prosperity......

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Encouraging the subsistance of children born into proverty in such a way as to maintain poverty only encourages more poverty. It allows for the easy procreation of such children, but doesn't allow for...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Easy. The Constitution limits the Federal gov't to a few enumerated powers. I would limit the role of the Federal gov't to those powers, AND ONLY THOSE POWERS: Article 1, Section 8 of the United...

    Wait a sec: you object to providing taxation for wars you don't want, but I must pay taxes for charity I don't want? Hmmmmmm... It seems like, instead of using the gov't to protect citizens from the...

    National Health Care, Your Thoughts

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Medic15251's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Remove the tax benefits for employers to provide your insurance and place those tax breaks directly in the hands of consumers. Combined with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), and insurance only for...

    National Health Care, Your Thoughts

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Medic15251's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Single payor IS socialized medicine. He who pays, decides. That has always been the case. Your cartoon, which you use in lots of places, is a lie. It is not gov't or corporations. They are one and the...

    National Health Care, Your Thoughts

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Medic15251's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Somewhere between a free market system and socialized medicine is what we have now. . . It's not a matter of taking the profit out of the system as much as it is a matter of putting back into the...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Even better idea: how about we take the Federal gov't out of the equation and let the States actually have some room to collect taxes for these purposes. As it is now, the all consuming Federal...

    Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Because, it's 'for the children' is disingenuous. It's a lie. A smug lie, at that. The purpose of expanding this legislation into the upper middle class and well into adulthood is to use it as a...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "Those are the talking points, but I have to disagree..." Of course they aren't talking points. They are inconvenient facts. MW creates inflation and decreases the number of MW jobs. Or, do you really...

    I think the stunning prosperity of the world is a remarkable validation of the free markets. The vast majority of the Western World live far better than even the previous generation. Poverty in...

    Poverty to Prosperity......

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The inflationary offsets of MW, combined with fewer jobs at the bottom rung, make the poor more poor. In effect, it is aid to those that make about 10-16/hr off the backs of those at the lowest rung:...

    Ah, but the entitlement agenda is a pyramid scheme. In order for it to work, there has to be an exponential supply of future workers. Far from encouraging the reduction of children, our gov't, by...

    1. Raise and index the minimum wage to half the average hourly wage. At $5.15, the federal minimum wage is at its lowest level in real terms since 1956. The federal minimum wage was once 50 percent of...

    1. Tax breaks spur the economy, which creates prosperity, for everyone. The rich can't get richer if you can't afford to buy what they are selling. It's that simple. 2. The gov't has never, not one...

    Except that, this example forgets a few key things. 1. The truly poor are already covered, through medicaid. In fact, the current SCHIP proposal aims to cover everybody through age 25 and incomes as...

    I mentioned in my original quote on Rudy's article that I liked the message but not the messenger. Rudy can counter that in socialist NYC, his policies, by comparison, were right wing conservatism to...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Most people get their healthcare through work. That's because of gov't intereference. In WWII, salaries were frozen and fringe benefits were the only way to attract new employees. So, such benefits...
