Yes sir. When the whiskey distillers refused to pay their taxes. (a common tendency with distillers) The military had no way to respond in a timely fashion. Jefferson, among others, was doubtful of the Governments right to build the necessary roads.
Thanks.
Lisa, Healthcare Insurance was cheap, when I started working. It was dirt cheap during WWII.
Indeed. But it shouldn’t surprise anyone. (Econ 101 is still required in high schools, no? Or was it just in my area of the country?)
And so were wages and so were prices. You can’t compare yesterday’s health insurance dollars with today’s wages. If it were not a significant benefit ath the time, it would not have been used so universally to attract employees. If it were not a significant benefit it would not have been such an important element in union contracts.Lisa, Healthcare Insurance was cheap, when I started working. It was dirt cheap during WWII.
Along with understanding Econ 101, having some knowledge of the subject matter might have helped as well. It didn’t go without notice that the doctors in Congress not only warned about this happening but also offered alternative approaches to the problems in our healthcare system–the major issues being cost and access. Instead of focusing on providing patient care, they simply focused on providing insurance. Abyssinia’s post had a clip that I think says it all:
The worst kind of tyranny is the tyranny for the benefit of the recipient. YOu cannot divorce government control from political control. Government price fixing always causes more problems than they solve.Meddling with good cause.
In this country, the government is us. We don’t have nobility here, noone is born with an inherent claim to the throne.
Now your joking. Right?
Oh brother…The term is pretty broad. The welfare state established by the British in 1904ff, claimed much less power over its subjects than the French laic state of the time claimed over its citizens.I suppose it depends what you mean by a welfare state. Not saying that the state can’t do anything, but it can’t do too much. Because, yes, the welfare state has been condemned.

I disagree with you about “the ushers” as well but that’s for another time.
What does it tell you that them majority of doctor who have trained for years, consider quitting because of ObamaTax. It is a horrible bill and needs to be repealed
uuman.org/pdf/ChickenLittle.pdf
Any act of government that requires people to perform services for less than market value, or even worse, less than the cost of the service itself, makes the doctor a slave of the government. In this case, government has become a tyrant and the people have as much right to overthrow it as they do to kill a robber who enters their house, or a mosquito that is biting them.
You may not think ObamaTax is bad, but a bill that forces employers to pay for services that are opposed to their conscience, a bill that could give the abortion industry nearly $1 billion a year, a bill that the majority of doctors do not think will improve care, a bill that increases premiums and penalises those with a tax = bad to me

Our government has become oppressive and abusive and the people who are being exploited and abused have a right to overthrow it. If you feel like reporting me for sedition, be my guest.
Well…not YOU specifically Aby…you, as in anyone who is reading my post.
that about sums it up.Symbolism, bill goes nowhere in senate. But if it make people feeeeel better then go for it.
Yes, but are they quitting because they are being taxed or are they quitting because they don’t see that lucrative a profession anymore? If I were to hear that I might be the victim of cost cuts in my profession, I’d certainly look for something else. Just saying.
