re: So 7 + 1 tax brackets, no closed loopholes, what is there to like?

Lower taxes and less government regulation...what’s not to love? Unless you love big brother stealing your lunch money and bending you ever for a daily lubeless anal reaming.

Right on cue. Obamacare wasn't rushed through. It went through the normal legislative process.


And it was still far from perfect.

You mean it too 18 months to get all the $$$ allocated to the various kickbacks required to purchase the votes.

Not even the DEMs liked it but Obama was black so they had to vote for it.

Everything the GOP said was wrong with it has come true - not one thing promised by it has eventuated. = except for encouraging more illegal aliens to flood to the system (not a headlined purpose of the bill but certainly one of the prime reasons it was concocted)

GOP were ignored - no inputs requested - told = "elections have consequences" = "sit at the back of the bus"

While the DEMs used every procedural trick they could to get it passed.

otherwise knows as "normal legislative process" (when DEMs control the levers)

to wit:

quote:

---

1. In order for the Dems to succeed in their plan they needed 60 Seats in the Senate to make a super-majority, so they convinced Arlen Specter a Republican to switch parties.
2. Then because all spending bills must originate in the House of Representatives the Senate took the House Bill H.R. 3590, a bill giving housing tax breaks for service members (nothing to do with Healthcare) and rewrite the bill to be a healthcare bill.
3. On December 24, 2009 the new bill will passed by the Senate.
The date is important because in Nov Scott Brown (Republican) was elected Senator replacing Ted Kennedy but would not take office until Jan 2010.
So in Jan the Dems would only have 59 Seats and no longer a super majority..
4. Then the new bill is sent back to the House
The normal process the bill would go to committee get changed voted on and then go back to the Senate where the Bill might have been stopped by the Reps.
But instead of following the normal process the House Dems decided to vote on Senate bill as is.
This way it would not have to get back to the Senate and the President could sign it as is.
5. The House passed the Senate bill with a 219–212 vote on March 21, 2010, with 34 Democrats and all 178 Republicans voting against it.
6. Obama signed the ACA into law on March 23, 2010.

Dems did have to end up using the reconciliation process to get it passed. But the process it went through to passage isn't even comparable to this tax bill.

Yes, I conceded that point. I admitted my inaccuracy. Thanks for pointing it out for me again.

The ability of the average liberal voter to simply bald faced lie........with not an ounce of remorse.......is astounding.
