I remember when I read about some states not allowing obamacare because the politicians in the state didn't like it.

You have no idea what the frick you are talking about. Politicians cannot prevent a federal law going into effect in their state.

You voted for those state morons. get what you deserve.

I have to laugh at states fricking their own people because they don't like obamacare.

---

Have you seen the costs to the states in about 5 years? Maybe do a little research before laughing...

It's a federal program. How can it not be in all 50 states?

Says the person thinking Obamacare is not in effect in all 50 states.

He's talking about the Medicaid expansion which would expand Medicaid benefits to a larger pool of people.

I know what he's talking about, but that is not the entirety of the law. To say that politicians are preventing the implementation of Obamacare due to them denying the expansion of Medicaid is misleading at best. I think the poster in question is just too stupid to understand the difference.

Why are you, a seemingly reasonably intelligent fellow (in spite of your Bama heritage) hanging around at one-third the pay, no OT and no growth future?

Why are you willingly a victim? Don't kid yourself. You are complicit in the current state of your affairs. If this position has a value of $8.50 an hour, it is because You did not stand up and say, "No!" when they offered you the job. Do you think that company is the only one doing this?

I would start a small business if it was my choice and I wasn't afraid. I would start a business in which I could live comfortably on, pay my employees well and live and die.. But I'm scared to now. I've done it and been put out of business within three years.. I thought about starting a barbeque restaurant in this stretch in which no BBQ places were on a highway in which I knew there was a demand for it... One year later a chain BBQ place called Rick's BBQ sits within 1/2 mile of where I thought about starting it. And a guy that started a small business there called "smoking on the boulevard" which only operates on the weekends will probably go out of business because of Rick's.

Maybe I'm a pussy, but you have to take risks to get a reward.. I've done it once, not sure I'll do it again. And yes, I will eventually say no to my current boss and that i deserve more... and people like me doing so will probably eventually put her out of business. I work at a liquor store though... so laws (on who and where you can sell liquor and beer), location, and convenience help it survive. If walmart starts selling liquor though and the county in which the city I live in goes wet... the business I work for is fricked.

I probably am illegible for some things that I don't know about, and I'm going to look into all of them.. like I said, this thread isn't just about me... it's just me using my situation to explain things to others...

The world has changed ALOT in the last 200 years or so, and keeps changing even faster every day... Some people just can't keep up. I believe in evolution, if this is what kills off the poor, takes down our country, etc.. then fine.. but I'd rather things not go down like that...

I'm like Lewis C.K. "Of course... Of course if a kid has a nut allergy we should be aware and the people that cook the food should be responsible after being informed.... but maybe.... maybe.... if we let that kid with nut allergies die then nut allergies would go away." It's a sick point of view, but one I believe is true... Besides, the human genome project is gonna change the whole world.... hold on tight folks... we are about to go on a ride.

Again, everything you are bitching about stems from the government. Literally everything in that last post.
