I'm sure they do. But for some reason creating an account with them doesn't seem too appealing.

Piece of shit website. I tried twice, and I am NOT duplicating answers. But nonetheless...

You should sue them; you are obviously being denied your rights.

Good luck.

I'm convinced Quaker literally spends his days copy and pasting links from right wing emails and pasting them here.

He just copies and pastes straight from the Drudge Report.

Wow.

It appears returning to 20th century "technology" might be the answer:

1. Don't use the internet, just the post office. Snail mail to the rescue!
2. Keep your money at home and out of banks. Or find "secure" banks like the rich Washington fat cats in the Caymans.
3. Toss the cell phone in the pond and install a land line.
4. Give your laptop to the Goodwill store.

At least it would make the tyrants work harder to steal your money

Not sure the source, but if true this is disgusting.

I call bullshit.

Considering the fine is stated to be 1% of income or $95 (whichever is higher) right on the damn health care website, this "example" apparently is Obama himself at $400K/yr

It came from the first link in post # 139. I'm not the journalist, I just posted what he wrote.

Still can't get access to the Ohio exchange site. Not surprised, our government has the uncanny ability to fuck up everything that it touches.

I expect there will be a lot of anecdotal stories of winners and losers. Most of that is completely unintentional, which is why this clusterfuck should be delayed a year.

That is completely expected. Heck, that's not even necessarily an indictment or failure of the gubmit. Something like this is never pulled off seamlessly.

No, the disillusionment will come from all the 20-30 somethings 30-40 years down the road (probably much sooner) as the ponzi scheme of US entitlements collapses. I can only imagine the irony of them wishing they could go back in time to vote these clowns out of office in favor of those evil Tea party jihadists. European style socialism wouldn't be at all popular here if it had the European-style taxes to go with it. Something will have to give because neither the tax base nor the tax rates are there to support these entitlements.

Most of my 20-something close friends are Libertarian and hate both parties. However, it does seem a good chunk of young people I know voted for Obama for mostly emotional reasons like "Oh he wants to help people get affordable healthcare, how is that a bad thing" or "Obama is cool because he likes basketball and hip hop" or "Obama supports women and gays". I actually live with a roommate who's hard core Obama supporter and she doesn't have a clue as to what is actually happening. She still buys the line that Republicans are only out to ruin Obama and that's why our country is still an economic disaster. SMH.

Hopefully she's hot, because it doesn't sound like she has any other redeeming qualities.
