Subject: RE: BS: ACA Mandate Not a tax
In a way it is "coercion"... All fees & taxes are and guess what???
If you listed them all that can be found in America its tens of thousands...
Big deal...
I mean, look at your phone bill or your electric bill, for instance... See those little fees??? If you don't pay them then yer phone goes dead or your lights go out... Hey, so you want to go over that toll bridge but don't want to pay the $1 to do so then strap a bunch on inner tubes on the Escort and paddle it across the river...
I mean, lets get real... Be it the government or private companies... They both need $$$ to offer services...
Anyone who thinks it would be better to turn everything over to for-profit corporations as GfinS, Ayn Rand and Tea-drinkers believe ain't lookin' at the "for-profit" part in "for profit" corporations... They'd fleece us in a New York minute and create a "Little Somalia" reality for the bottom 90% of our population...
