"Slicing More Than Pizza"

It was your own counterpoint value judgement in support of people expecting others to pay their bills, as you preceded it with…

Clearly you support that system.

I’m lost. So I support the US welfare state? Obamacare? What exactly am I supporting today, and why?

Meanwhile, everybody who criticizes OC forgets that _ we already pay for the health care of these people and we always have _. All OC did was change how we pay for other people’s heath care. It did not invent the idea of socialized heath care as that was done in the 1940s and later perfected in the 1960s.

But oh yes, go ahead and sound like a moronic conservative and blame “socialist Obama” on suddenly inventing the social safety net–the social safety net that is fundamentally supported by both parties without question.

Why do you assume that everybody that criticizes OC forgets that we already pay for others’ healthcare? Maybe I just don’t like OC and don’t think it is a good solution - actually I think it is a horrible solution and an expensive one.

You’re basically saying: “people that criticize a new additional property tax are forgetting that we already pay a property tax. But sure, blame “socialist” Obama on suddenly creating the tax system and inventing the property tax.”

OC is immoral, and, practically, it won’t work - it will make the situation worse. This does not mean that the system in place now is moral and working - it’s not - but that doesn’t mean that we accept replacing it with another immoral system that won’t work.

So I support Obamacare?

Exactly.

You softpedalled Obamacare as being no different than the system already in place. When in truth it is, because for the first time the government will economically punish people for not buying something.

But the government did not cause Obamacare to be implemented. It was hundreds of millions of irresponsible people who have demanded that someone else pay their bills.

Wow, I had no idea. What else do I believe in? I’m making dinner reservations right now–do I believe in eating meat or should I try to find something with a vegan selection?

Wow, I had no idea.

Yeah, I wondered too why you were trying to sell Obamacare as if it was just another program no different from Medicare. What’s up with that?

You aren’t talking to me, are you?

go with beef always

Thanks, Tad. I had a lovely dinner at a red-hot steakhouse tonight. In lieu of a response I guessed I was Paleo, which is what I recall deciding for myself. I hope they don’t decide I’m lactose intolerant since I had ice cream for desert.
