>> First of all, save your slimy IBD cartoons for your fukking fantasy life There was nothing "fantasy" about that cartoon. That's why it was posted. This is a point several of us have tried to explain to you guys for months -- for the longest time, nobody was acknowledging that the 43M (and now the 50M) number was vastly misstating the situation. We hear "there are 50 million without healthcare" which is an out-and-out lie -- when probably 10% that figure, 5M, is a closer figure. Even when they do manage to say "50M without health INSURANCE" they conveniently ignore the demographics -- that many ARE covered but won't bother to register with Medicaid, they ARE illegal, they CHOOSE not to have insurance because they want to spend their money in other ways, etc. It is a liberal lie. There is no other way to put it -- and you have exemplified the effects of it -- idiot liberals eat it up. You actually believe there are 50M without "health care". You're either in denial or stupid. >> Meanwhile you all don't pay state income taxes We have a 7% state income tax. Talk to CJ and RW -- they're the guys who aren't paying state income taxes. >> I posted here some of the outrageous salaries the CEOs of these asshole companies are making. Whatever salaries are paid to the CEOs for insurance companies are between the CEOs and their shareholders. I don't view it as any of your concern. This libshit is easy.

Ted, > Meanwhile you all don't pay state income taxes and keep your sales taxes low while poaching industry from blue states. You don't pay state income taxes, either. Must be nice to live in the same state where Bill Gates made his billions. I'm from a blue state. I probably pay higher income and sales taxes than all you guys and probably just as much in property taxes thanks to inflated real estate prices. Of course my state also pays more in federal taxes than it gets in return. Yet no left-winger wants to listen to what I have to say. Maybe all this whining about "blue states" and "red states" means jack. Maybe you and all the other liberals are the crybabies here. At least I can understand if you bust a vein. Maybe Alghieri too. But the others? Tenchusatsu
