There is such a thing as public hospitals that provide free health care.
These are government funded.
That is an essential service. However, a company that pays for your procedures is a privilege and not a right.
They pay their own taxes like everybody else, why raise there’s just so we can make health insurance cheaper.
They are private initiatives and this is damaging to the corporations.
Another thing Obama has no right to do is interfere with perfectly legitimate businesses.
It is not a right to have a private service provided to you.
So what Obama is doing is taking people’s companies and using government recourses to damage their business and profits.
If he does so well enough then there will be a hell of a lot more unemployment and then there will be a lot more people who will need to rely on the rich.
I’m not worried about how they will feed and clothe themselves but they work for their money and only owe some of it to the government.
The rest is theirs and we have no right to take it.
And they continue to take more and more.
This is the second time Obama has raised their taxes and all it reminds me of is the unjust taxation while America was under British rule.
Just reversed.
The rich are now being targeted and are being victimized.
They are People like everybody else and if we continue to raise their taxes then they will just evade tax.
Not a very hard thing to do.
So we can clearly see that it is not the responsibility of the rich to provide for the poor.
So why take their hard earned money?
Let the rich be, they aren’t all these monsters bent on destroying the poor by not paying for their health care.
They just work for their money and earn what they deserve.
Well at least the vast majority do.
Let the government pay out of their own pockets if they want to but don’t infringe on the rights of your citizens to do so.

Firstly
In that case what progress has he made? He has spoken on and on about how he wants to disarm but nothing is happening. Where is the evidence of your points? Sources please? Also, it is not Israel who needs to be stopped. They have a fairly small arsenal while it is the nabouring states that are developing new weapons constantly. They are a threat as we have already seen. Israel has no problem with the space they have. The reset of the countries are trying to take it from them and will surely use their new found nuclear ability to achieve this goal. America holds its power by having a powerful military. Why don’t we just disarm it? Without the factor of intimidation Terrorist groups like Hammas and Al-quieda will have the upper hand, be assured they will disarm nothing.
Secondly
Obama has made no progress. As I have said many times before the tension is growing and he is alienating Israel. Therefore he has made no progress. Not even a little but instead he is reversing efforts of great leaders before him. These issues won’t be solved in any time if they continue the way they are going. I don’t expect them to happen any time soon but we need to see some action. He talks and talks and gives more peace talks but while the citizens of all the Middle Eastern countries are afraid to step out of their homes. Believe me I know. I have large contact with Israeli and Lebanese citizens alike. What concrete plans has he set into place?
Thirdly
The Taliban did not form because America invaded. That is just an ignorant guess. America invaded because of the terrorist attack
BY the Taliban and other groups. They also invaded to overthrow a regime that was completely barbaric. The Iraqi security forces rely on the training and the supervision of the American forces. While America Did not have a presence in Iraq the security forces there could not tell their ass from their elbows. They lack the experience to be thrown into a lawless state and manage on their own. And despite what you think there are countless terrorist forces out there that have not been wiped out. The vast minority has only been wiped out. The troubles will not only be caused by the Taliban for the record. The citizens will also cause problems without proper guidance of the government. Look at the xenophobic attacks in South Africa. They were dissatisfied with their essential services being provided by the government and blamed it on foreigners.
Fourthly
I am not talking about his inauguration ball. I’m talking about the untraceable 120Mill with unknown origins and providers that he spent
DURING his campaign. The rest he happily released where it came from.
