Americans Dropping Out of Workforce To Get Taxpayer-Funded Health Care Is A Good Thing Because Americans Work Too Hard….....


Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison defended Obamacare against the Congressional Budget Office’s finding that the law would push nearly two million workers out of the labor market by 2017 as employees decide either to work fewer hours or drop out of the job market.

Ellison told ABC’s “This Week” panel Sunday morning that it will lead to “working more reasonable hours.”

“Americans work way more than the average of industrialized countries around the world,” he said. ”What the Congressional Budget Office is saying, we’re going to discourage kids from being [in] latchkey. Have parents come home working reasonable hours. People can retire. People may be able to cook dinner rather than get takeout. The fact is is that if Americans can have more choices to open up a new business they have been wanting to start, this is a good thing.

Right now, democrats are fearful of Obamacare being an albatross that hangs around their necks come November. That fear, is leading to ridiculous statements that all but proclaim up is down - anything they can do to try and apply lots of lipstick to the pig. Makes you wonder if they walk away from an interview and wonder if they are perceived as no more than a fool.

His constituents have told him that its hard work being a drug dealer.

I know you right-wingers hate the fact that people who want to retire, want to start their own businesses, or want to be home with family will have options other than being tied to their employer health care. How will the brutal version of right-wing capitalism function without incentives to make people do things that aren't in their personal interest?

It's great that folks can retire, start a business, or be able have a parent home to take care of the kids until they are school-age. If they can swing any of those options on their own merit, bully for them.

I hope to retire someday too but taxes imposed upon me are killing what I take home in my paycheck which long-term may mean I have to postpone my retiring. Doesn't seem very FAIR to me.

Where in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights does it say that I as a taxpayer have to fund or subsidize someone else's health insurance?

And if we are now subsidizing health insurance to allow moms to stay home...heck why doesn't the government just pay them a stay at home mom salary to boot so that they can stay home and still earn take home pay? It's the logical next step right and the fair thing to do because they are working?

Right -wingers are the ones WORKING who want to retire someday. They are the ones who start their own businesses. They are the ones with families.

And they might not have to work as many hours if they weren't covering the food bills and rent of those who believe they have a government granted right to pursue their hobbies and leisurely activities.

Like I said - up is down and lipstick that pig.

Somehow, the federal government taking money from me - then giving free healthcare to someone else just doesn't scream the American dream to me. You, you're a professor - you rely on the government for your livelihood, I'm not surprised you want more and more for the government.

Umm, people could do all of what you said before Obamacare, and many of them for much cheaper than the current plans.
