SCOTUS Health Care Decision: The top 1% now has the right to TAX and KILL the 99%

Thursday, 6/28/12

"The power to tax is the power to destroy."

This quotation comes from the words of DANIEL WEBSTER and
those of JOHN MARSHALL in the Supreme Court case, McCulloch v. Maryland.

Webster, in arguing
the case, said: “An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to
destroy,” 17 U.S. 327 (1819).

In his decision,
Chief Justice Marshall said: “That the power of taxing it [the bank] by the
States may be exercised so as to destroy it, is too obvious to be denied” (p.
427), and “That the power to tax involves the power to destroy … [is] not to be
denied” (p. 431).

"The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the individual health-insurance mandate that is at the heart of President Obama's Health-Care law, saying the mandate is permissible under Congress’s taxing authority."(Washington Post)

If the SCOTUS decision is correct, and the money that you'll be forced to pay for a product that you may-or-may not want or can afford is a "TAX"? Then, it's a tax to be paid directly to the big insurance and pharmaceutical corporations, that are owned by the mega-international banking corporations like
Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan.

Not one private corporate "TAX" dollar will go to build one school, Fire Department or Highway. It will all go to that evil 1% banking and insurance corporations, that 99% of the Obama supporters hate.(How's your "Hope and Change" NOW people?)

I've personally have had expensive surgeries and medical treatments provided to me when I had very little money, and no insurance.

But, I still received the very best medical care that was provided (for free) by the states charity care insurance plan. Most people who know about medical charity care get the same access to the best treatment available. Long before anyone ever heard of Obama/Romney Care.

Today’s ruling is important because it's the first time in history that
the federal government has required citizens enter into contract with
private corporations to buy a product or service.

Now, because of today's SCOTUS decision, which legally legitimizes the Obama/Romney Care Act. All the previous charity medical care is going to disappear, and the quality of your medical treatment will not be determined by a medical professionals, like it should be. It's now going to be decided by a board of bureaucrats looking after the best financial interest of the insurance company.

The insurance companies medical board will conduct themselves like a group of deranged American Idol judges. And, they'll decide the quality of your care that you'll receive, based on what is in the best financial interest of the insurance companies, that you're forced into a contract with, and pay for with your "TAX" dollars.

Which in turn, is given directly to the Mega Insurance Corporations, owned by the 5 mega private international Banking corporations-the 1%- like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, with Goldman Sachs sitting at the top. They're your new Gods deciding your medical fate, and ultimately on whether you'll live or will DIE!!

Got a broken leg? Sorry, no surgery for you if you're 60 or too fat. The hospital bureaucrats will vote to give you a cane just before they kick you to the curb.

How about expensive surgery in the next month, to remove a tumor that's going to kill you in 6 months, if it's not removed? Sorry again, if you've ever been arrested for a DWI and over weight by 10 pounds over the national average. You're just not worth the financial investment of your private insurance company.(your medical corporate "TAX" money at work)

Idol

Insurance Bureaucrat #1: "I don't know, the patient is a bit over-weight, and so old that he's receiving social security. Let's vote to schedule him for that life saving surgery in a year, instead of at the end of the month? Can I see a show of hands who are in favor?"

    "This ruling might be the spark America needs to find within themselves to take their country back from socialist control freaks. Firearms sales are rising to record levels. The reason is the people see the government as a threat to their safety and security. They do not see the phony enemy of radical Islam as a threat it was years ago. Al Quada is not groping people at the airport and forcing us to pay for health insurance. It is our own government."

    And now Obie sees that SCOTUS will approve anything he does as long as he calls it a Tax. Oh Boy! Jarrett is in her office right now ramming a dildo up her rear and jotting down social policies they can enact via Taxation.

    Will I have to pay a private corporate tax to the insurance company that's owned by Goldman Sachs to receive the psycho therapy and drugs to treat my delusions?

    Will a medical board stacked with insurance industry bureaucrats provide me with the needed therapy and drugs if I'm over weight or too old? Even if I pay them my corporate "tax" money that I'm forced to pay for their insurance plan.

    Can the 1% get any richer while they tax and kill the other 99%? I think they can.

    We don't need Obamacare. We already have EMTALA and everyone gets the care they need despite Obama claims and justification. If the geniuses in office had researched the issues with actual factual data this bill would have been laughed at and not signed.

    Not now they don't. They can be legally turned away due to the new Federal mandate. I work as a nurse and everyone gets hospitalization if they need it because of EMTALA. But private physicians can turn away potential patients now even if they have Medicaid and Medicare because it takes too long to get reimbursed by the government. That was written in the Obamacare.

    Right..because now..people won't need to walk around without coverage..now it's affordable and available even if you have a pre-existing condition..what does running to the hospital hoping to get indigent care do for a middle class person with no beneits and diabetes or cancer? Nothing..they need medicine and they need ongoing care. Why is it acceptable that a welfare recipient have coverage and not someone who works?
  • enlight... meme14 2012/06/29 22:13:01

    The pre-existing medical condition will bankrupt the system. And everyone is required to buy insurance regardless of ability to afford it. And there are less people working with this economy so more people are falling into the Medicaid Medicare category so practitioners are preferring the patients with insurance and ability to pay rather than Medicare Medicaid because it takes up to 8 months to get reimbursed and primary care physicians are closing up shop. But never fear EMTALA is in force in case you get seriously sick enough to go to a hospital. EMTALA has been in force for years. Forced nanny-state medical coverage without regard to individual participation is not fair to working Americans and unconstitutional. If you suddenly develop a heart attack or become diabetic or develop COPD from smoking, ironically you are covered by EMTALA and have been for years.

    Then go to Walmart they have $4 dollar perscriptions. Did you ever try that? Obamacare doesn't set prices on your medication that's your healthcare companies when they offer prescription drugs. You must have very expensive top tier medication to pay that high a price. Usually insurances charge according to tiers and the first tier is the losest co-pay and the 3ed tier is the highest cost.

    "Taxes are this nation's primary source of revenue."

    No it's not!!! Every federal tax dollar everyone pays, goes to pay-off the interest on the money, the private central federal reserve bank loans to the government at interest.

    For example: The trillions of dollars that the government borrowed at interest from the private Federal Reserve Bank, and then handed over to the international bankers and private corporations(that same evil 1% Obama supporters hate)

    All of your federal tax dollars is used to pay off the interest on the trillions of dollars the government borrowed from the private central bank, and gave to the 5 major international banks.

    Not one dollar is spent on new roads or schools. State taxes pay for that stuff. Federal Taxes pay-off the interest to the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank.

    Yes brdbrain, taxes are this nation's primary source of revenue.

    The money we borrow to pay expenses is not revenue. It's debt.

    Oh, soo the money the government takes from what the citizens earn to pay-off the interest to the private central bankers, is considered revenue and not debt? I get it now.

    Here's the problem with that idea. Governments don't generate any revenue, or wealth. The only money the government has is the money it takes from people who generate revenue. All the government does is create debt by borrowing money from a private central bank called the Federal Reserve Bank, that's neither Federal, nor has any Reserves.

    Then the government takes the revenue from the people, who actually make the money, to pay-off the interest on the debt the government created. You see how that works?

    So, when you say "Taxes are this nation's primary source of revenue."

    What you really mean to say is, "The money that people earn, is the nations primary source for paying-off the governments debt on the money it borrowed at interest from the private central bank."

    You're an idiot.

    Taxes provide revenue for the Federal government to pay its expenses.

    When expenses exceed revenue, the government must borrow, and that is debt.

    "When expenses exceed revenue for the Federal government to pay its expenses."

    What revenue? The government has no revenue to spend on its expenses. Therefore, the government borrows money at interest from the Federal Reserve Bank, that is privately owned by the Rothschilds, Rockefellers and the House of Windsor.

    The only people generating any revenue are the American people who work for their money, but are required to pay a percentage of their earnings to the collection arm of the Federal Reserve Bank (otherwise known as the IRS) to pay-off the money and interest on the debt that the government created.

    What is your problem with understanding that revenue is not debt? And, the only money that the government has, is the money that it borrows, and the money it taxes to pay-off the governments own debt with interest to the government money lender. What is so hard about that?

    Wow, you really are dimwitted aren't you? No wonder you're a Right Winger.

    The government taxes in order to create revenue to pay for expenses.

    Revenue is the money that comes in to this nation's coffers. And taxes are this nation's chief form of revenue.

    Expense is the money that goes out.

    High Revenue - Low Expenses = Big Budget Surpluses

    Low Revenue - High Expenses = Big Budget Deficits

    When revenue is less than expenses, then the government borrows to pay those expenses.

    Borrowed money is not revenue. Borrowed money is debt.
