That's not the only thing they're upset about. Conservatives in general are usually wealthy if not at least upper middle class. The wealthier conservatives most likely have trust funds and they probaly have money somewhere in the bank that they didn't earn. A part of the new bill says that previously unearned money which is at the moment tax-exempt will no longer be. It will in fact have a tax of 3.89%(i think) annually. And when you have a lot of money, that could be quite a lot of money.
You're absolutely right. Let me get my bronze Mexican a** on the floor and grovel in praise of the government for it's wisdom in taxing the living s**t out of everyone who's ever had the foresight to invest. I feel like such an irresponsible person to my fellow countrymen for investing for my future children's college fund.
Conservatives are opposed to the idea of big government, period. The more privatization, the better, the more competition, the lower the rates, it's a logical sequence of events. It's not their fault the liberalists are too caught up in their carebear hugs to realize that the amount of debt this nation will fall into is going to be paid on the backs of our grandchildren.
You're posted a reduction of debt statistic, well I can post a tripling of the current debt statistic. The fact of the matter is every nation who is currently under a government run healthcare system is suffering for it.
But like everything else, we Americans need to be slapped in the face with the blunt end of the s**t stick to realize it.
Strangely enough, I am not a conservative; I'm actually a very solid moderate. But in this Healthcare issue, I see the logic in the Republicans, and the emotional whip the Democrats are beating themselves with in order to make it look like a good idea.
The fact of the matter is the system is not designed to operate at max capacity, and when we all go broke for paying taxes out the ying yang or going to jail for evasion and thus still not paying taxes, no one will get to go to the doctor.
