This must be one of the MOST cruel, heartless, UN-human things that Palin has ever said ...

... Repeating several times that “there is no such thing as a free lunch,” she warned those who paid no taxes that “if they think they are going to get a free ride, they’ve got another thing coming.” ...

So, according to Palin - the folks that don't earn enough money to pay taxes (and do not have insurance) should not receive any healthcare and basically SHOULD DIE !!!

...that would be from the ages of 0 through 16. Oh, wait, not true: there's no exemption from sales tax just because you used allowance money to buy it.

And for every job I've had, no matter how low-paying, there were FICA taxes.

And sometimes, even if you don't have to pay Federal income tax, you might have to pay state income tax.
And of course, every time you gas up a vehicle, you're paying gas taxes. And Federal excise tax when you buy tires and certain other goods.

Fri Jun 29, 2012, 05:55 AM

on the garbage bill, the telephone bill, the cable bill, the internet bill, the water bill, the sewer bill, sales tax, use tax, LID (local improvement district) taxes, ambulance tax (we have to pay it in my county), etc., etc. Even if you make less than minimum wage, if you squeek by paying any of these services, you are paying taxes. Unless you live on the street, drink pond water and dumpster dive, you are PAYING TAXES; every time you plop down an item of currency, you are paying taxes in one form or another. Personally, being grateful for the services I'm able to obtain, I don't mind paying those taxes at all. But Palin and her ilk refuse to acknowledge people who pay a larger portion of their income to taxes than the wealthy.

Fri Jun 29, 2012, 10:33 AM

of every sale goes to pay a myriad of taxes. The cost of an item is based on the cost to produce and market it, and that includes taxes paid for utilities, transportation, storage, sales etc.

Unless you live in the wild and purchase absolutely nothing you are contributing to the tax base.

What isn't talked about much is the financial cost that those who are very wealthy bring to society. I heard that discussed several years ago- it was surprising how much of a financial burden that the people at the top bring upon the populace as a whole.

And I pointed out they were already paying for him if he didn't have insurance. We're paying higher premium and higher medical costs.

The conversation took a distinct wandering toward the Paulbotian at that point.

Death is something that the right seems to just love. If it were possible to get our so-called journalists to analyze conservative thought objectively the result could only be that they are insane and horrifying. They oppose everything that civilized human beings value.
