Argumentum ad bacculum is not necessarily fallacious.

Being that this money would be taken out by the IRS in your taxes, it's not like the army is going to go door to door, robbing people at gun point. No more than your taxes for the upkeep of roads, police and fire protection, and national defense is collected literally by force.

Like Mitt Romney, you do have the right to give up Medicare. However, unless the Supreme Court acts, then you will be required to sign up for something else. Or pay a tax.

So, you had probably better just keep your Medicare.

Was that a decent argumentum ad baculum?

Then it should be levied as a tax, not disguised as a purchase.

You no what is very true in ancient civilizations the economy was good. Leaders could be civilize on how to handle peoples money an taxes now a days we fight and bicker instead of making tough choices. We are only hurting the nation when we can not come to terms on what works best the Independents like myslef should be a third party or a least America should have more then just two Political Parties.

You would think so, but conservatives would have a shitfit over anything that smacked of a tax. And that's regardless of the fact that Obama's healthcare reform is actually based on a Republican plan.

The religious right loves to turn health care into a market place.

We are more dependent on food than on medical care and you do not complain that our food supply which is absolutely essential to living until next month, is in private hands. Can you at least be consistent?

Why not put the government in charge of growing our food and feeding us? Then we can stand in line half a day at a time and wait for meager rations.

But no one is keeping food out of financial reach of the masses. The same can hardly be said about medical care.

This sounds like a challenge for a song, or some other creative endeavour.

Any takers?

moderate republican papers, vetted that empty fluff
and brought him campaign contributions and other fancy stuff...."
