Comment on Senate Health Bill to set profit limits. by citizenofmanassas

The insurance companies do not have a monopoly anymore than Lowes or Home Depot does. A monoply is when one company controls a majority or an entire market. You just do not believe in capitalism.

If the insurance companies want to remain legal monopolies, then, yes, their profits should be restricted. Give up the monopoly, and then give up the restrictions.

I truly believe it is what we do that defines us as people and lately I just haven't done much. avoid procrastination is my downfall. But it's more than even that.

Comment on Immigration bill backers try again despite jobless rate – Washington Times by citizenofmanassas

I don’t want people who have broken a number of laws getting rewarded for their law breaking. This bill is worse than the one in 2007. It really is an insult to the Country.

Also, if illegals are provided Citizenship, or legal status, that allows them access to many social services they are not entitled to now, which may off set any gains in taxes that might be collected.
Furthermore, since many illegals are in the service industry, lack any formal education, it’s unlikely they would be able to get good paying jobs. Which means, their income level may not even reach a tax bracket where they end up paying taxes. They will just get a refund every year. That of course will be a double wammy, because not only will we have an increase in social service costs, we won’t see an increase in tax revenue.

Funny thing is that those illegal immigrants already have jobs, and legalizing them *may* increase the tax base.

Too bad we have not been able to get an effective deportation plan working.

Comment on Federal salaries through the roof as unemployment climbs | Washington Examiner by citizenofmanassas

obama recently said we cannot continue to spend money as we have. Yet, he passed the failed “stimulus” package and is set to sign the budget just signed over the weekend that is going to increase spending 10% across the board. Yay, that makes sense. Don’t worry obama is about to double the debt. But, I suppose you feel, you have to spend money to make money.

Comment on House passes sprawling Wall Street regulatory bill | Washington Examiner by citizenofmanassas

I’d pick less regulation over too much regulation. Do you not think companies should make profits? What do you believe is too much of a profit?
