    Just reiterating that most americans like ACA, they just don't know what's in it and have been coached to hate it.

    Yeah. He lives at his parents and bums money for beer and cigarettes.

    I drive across town every day to work to pay for my insurance (or pay the tax/fine) so he gets his "free" healthcare. The greatness of socialism.

    Well forget anything about Jesus, its clearly Hightop is not a christian person:

    "But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?" - 1 John 3:17

    Roberts pursued every avenue possible according to him to get the law upheld, even while explictly acknowledging that Congress did not regard it as a tax. That he did it is props to him. As a justice, he has demonstrated that very rare ability not to legistate from the bench.

    From the article...
    So now the President is not overreaching his authority in his quest to become an iron-fist ruler....no now he's raising taxes on everyone.

    And what's sad is people will take the bait.

    I don't get it. You're against PPACA because the individual mandate forces folks like him to either get insurance or pay a tax?

    He chooses not to work so he doesn't have to pay anything for health care.

    Yeah, I'm not sure why he's upset. He clearly doesn't understand what is going on.

    My uber-successful friend in the United States not only subsidizes your existence through his excessively higher tax-paying, but also gives you a free-market god to worship (what with his position as a summer analyst at JP Morgan).
