"FREE STUFF for everyone is a great slogan...until you have to start paying for it somehow. Neither party really understands how to pay for shiz."

Let me provide a couple of examples of how to pay for free stuff.

Healthcare: Right now, premiums are paid by employers and/or employees to insurance companies for health insurance.

You could replace the premiums that are paid with an equivalent tax that would go to a general insurance fund.

This general fund would be available to all Americans and would be easily portable and not tied to your job.

So, regardless of your income level or if you are employed at any time, you would be covered for healthcare.

The current taxes collected for Medicaid would also go to this fund.

There would be a healthcare tax for employers and employees similar to the current Medicare tax payroll tax. Maybe an additional line on the corporate income tax.

People's net pay check would be about the same. Company's net income would be about the same.

The issue would be how to handle the insurance companies to stay in business because they are a big part of the economy. They make take a hit, but industries evolve, come and go over time.

Free college: You could make in state college tuition for public schools free just like high school. It's time to evolve to the next step. Yes, you would pay for it by raising taxes - both corporate and individual. But you wouldn't have to raise it by the amount of the increase in cost. And I wouldn't make room and board part of this.

Without the burden of tuition expense or higher student loans, people will have more money to spend into the economy and this will produce more tax revenue. And companies will have access to a more educated workforce that would be more productive for them and save them tuition reimbursement costs that many provide.

There would have to be more online classes to handle the higher volume.

College is still not for everyone and the credits could be used for qualifying trade schools.

Taking this financial burden away from young people will produce financial returns for the country.

Democrats usually do have plans to pay for their ideas.

Republicans simply cut taxes for high earners and big corporations, spend more on the highest expense (military) and run higher deficits, passing the debt to the next incumbent to deal with.

You are either lying or a very uninformed person.

My deductible is $5000 out of pocket. Call me a liar, go ahead. Feel free to place a bet, hence compensation, and post your email address. I'll bet ANY amount of money you'd like. This is where people always back down. They believe they are right and it's guaranteed money, but they won't bet.

My deductible is a direct result of ObamaCare, yes it is! It was $1200 out of pocket, then it went to $5000 when your guy was in Office.

If you have one reputable friend/relative in the medical field, they will tell you what you obviously don't know.

You seem to be on your game and know your stuff or at least most of it, but how you don't know the obvious is beyond me.

I remember being at the first Tea Party rally and seeing that picture for the first time on a poster and immediately knowing that I would have to answer for it for the rest of my life, and here I am 9 years later answering for it. I knew what they were saying with the picture, but I knew what the price would be. We all knew. Just imagine a world where every Liberal had to answer for every smear, slander, and racist insult thrown at those on the right. It would be a better world. It would be a much better world.

But that isn't the world we live in.

Gary, when are you gonna pull your head out of your a55? You remember seeing this very image at a tea party rally years ago and just knew you'd be "paying the price" for it today. Wow.

Gary, you simply cannot make any argument for that photo other than blatant racism. That's it. Stop trying to spin it some other way. You posted that photo in response to the Trump baby balloon, as if they were both equivalent.

You must be a remarkably exhausted man, answering for that photo for the past 9 years and being directly and personally harmed by Obama.

Tell us more....

I’m beginning to think this. It was very quiet this weekend. No Gary. Then he reappears inflamed aggrieved and 6X as butthurt as ever. Said earlier today that he was “there”. So where is there? Charlottesville or DC?

I was at the Chicago Trump campaign rally that was shut down by operatives who were paid by Hillary's campaign to foment violence so that the MSM could report that Trump's supporters were violent. The rally was cancelled. Trump's first amendment right to free speech was violated. My first amendment right to assembly was violated. The Left in this country are intolerant, violent fascists, and it's paid for by the leadership and amplified by a complicit MSM which is now justifying violence "in the fight against right-wing hate".

This is very dangerous because you Leftists can not tell an average Trump supporter from a Nazi. You have declared war on 63 million of your neighbors, and no one on the Left is standing up to put a stop to it.

No, I have a pretty good idea of why Trump won, it just isn't for reasons you believe.

You are a buffoon. I am name calling, because you truly are. Your black and white leftist/rightist worldview is pretty disappointing.

You aren't done with anything Gary. Those of us who want a civil society where people operate with a modicum of decency and respect to their fellow Americans will have our way. You are simply upset that you can't speak like an a55hole and get away with it. Is that it? Casual racist and bigotry just isn't cool. I live in California, but I grew up in Ohio and Florida, so I have plenty of experience with so-called "Patriots" who have very little to offer the community, but think they are better than others because of their skin complexion. . Is this you, Gary? I know you're a gentleman and a scholar, but you don't act that way.

You hide behind the "we're tired of the PC" crap, but I don't see where human decency is a bad thing.

You think people like me are undermining civil society? You want to find out which side respects human decency? Goooood!

You can be the first one to do the Trump Hat Challenge! This is how it works:

1. You put on some Liberal gear like a Hillary or Bernie hat and walk around an area with a lot of Trump supporters for a few hours. Record how many times you are harassed or assaulted.

2. You put on a Trump M A G A hat and walk around a bunch of Libs for a few hours, or until you're unconscious. Record how many times you are harassed or assaulted.

The Liberals in this country are the intolerant, violent, lawless fascists and you can find that out for yourself! Go ahead. Perform a little real life political science and let us know how it went. Gee. I wonder why no one calls my bluff on this challenge.

My neighbor had a Trump sticker on his car for 2016 and puts up a blue lives matter flag at least a couple times a month. My other neighbors across the way are gay. I get along with both. And I support the right for the alt right and trump supporters to assemble at rallies, or controversial speakers like Ann Coulter to speak at campuses. and I am dissapointed if opposing groups act in a manner that results in violence or prevents a lawful gathering. As long as the rightward group is lawful as well then they have that right to gather and express their views.

Nor do I self identify as a liberal.

That said you are a complete deluded idiot and I laugh at you every day!

Nobody calls your bluff because:

a) we all know it is indeed a bluff and that you have never put on Hilary gear.

b) we are true Americans and will never put on the uniform of a fascist, even if for an experiment.

Since you refuse to post the details of your policies before and after ObamaCare, there is no way to know if ObamaCare had anything to do with it. You would also need to post the details of your family situation and job situation before and after.

Probably, without ObamaCare, your health insurance coverage would be a lot worse and you would be worse off.

But go ahead. Post all the details. Otherwise, you are just blowing smoke.
