Silly boy. I pay more in taxes than you make a year.
BTW - People pay for Obamacare according to their income so they're no different than you.
That's the problem you folks have. Some of you seem to be missing a heart and are fine watching poor people starve to death, as long as it isn't you.

I think you are confused. There is some difference between social programs and socialistic programs. I had wages withheld since Medicare went into effect. It is not socialism to get the money back that was guaranteed to me. It is socialistic to pay Medicare to individuals that never paid in.

I have a heart, which is why this is a clusterf%*k in the makings:

1) The server capacity was inadequate to handle the load of applicants...this doesn't bode well for the future of Obamacare if they can't even get the registration process to work.

2) Healthy younger workers are supposed to help pay for older, workers, since the latter has more health issues. The problem is that younger workers, including college graduates, can't find jobs, or are chronically underemployed! So how the hell are they gonna carry the older generation?

Another government boondoggle.

Isn't the saying "The road to hell is paved with good intentions?"

PS I bet I paid more in taxes then YOU make

It is about time you went to school and took a good course in political economy!

You don't even know what socialism is and yet you call someone a socialist!

LOL, LOL

"It's what nearly every other advanced nation has in place. Even Italy, one of the politically most conservative nations in Europe has a similar system. And spreading the wealth is a good thing, unless you happen to be an overpaid corporate CEO or banker. More money in the pockets (and thereby greater spending power) of the poor and middle class is what boosts the economy, not less. The more spending, the more is produced, and thereby more jobs, and jobs with better pay. The only ones drinking the koolaide are the ones buying into the myth of trickle down economics and how wealth needs to be further concentrated among the already wealthy".

So what do you think will happen when the 47% of the takers in this country who are now being subsidized by the working class givers becomes 55% or worse. At some point the wealth sharing bubble has to burst. My husband and I worked long hours in our business to live fairly comfortably. We know people who have been on welfare for years and have as much as we do. I have no problem helping those who cannot work. But I do have a problem sharing my hard earned income with those who will not work. There is a huge difference.

Do you know what Socialism means?

Twardlow Loc: Arkansas

Have you given up all responsibility for a thoughtful use of the mind?

Tell me about spitefulness toward our country.

Show he his hatred.

Many times I have thought, that only if an honest and non-beholden person or group were in charge of the purse strings, we would have money flowing out of our ears. No need to be mortgaged up to the hilt to China. No reason to owe anyone. Then we could truly be a great nation.

I don't foresee anything close to this ever happening, but I can always hope.

Then how about totally inept and a despot?

As of 2012 there were 313.9 million in the U.S., so your saying that there is only 13.9 million workers? Stretching it a little are we??

Do you remember when the theory of trickle down economics got a good run for the money? It did not work because the trickle stayed just that........ a trickle. The only folks who benefited from that were the rich, they just got richer. You are right in that assessment of that particular line of thinking. So what is the solution? How to really make change for the better? The current President is only making matters worse no matter how you look at it.

UP-2-IT Loc: RED STICK, LA

This trashing of the President is getting boring and mundane, how about the price of milk or beef.
