Wouldn't this be pointless to override this and still force your state citizens to pay income tax?

Wouldn't that be like paying for it, but then not using it?

Wouldn't the only way to truly avoid this, is to secede and stop paying income tax?

It's better to pay income tax and get better health care at a cheaper cost than it is to pay income tax and get worse health care at a higher cost. It absolutely pays off for the citizens of each and every state to override Obamacare, even if they still have to pay taxes for it. But yes, seceding would be even better.

Rick Perry is a member of the Bilderberg Group.   That's a fact.

Personally, I don't think he'd do anything to increase our liberties.  I think he's a weasel who has to talk big, but will not act on anything.

He's a Bilderberg attendee.  He is not a year over year member.  There is a significant difference between someone who goes twice, and someone who is on a steering committee.

That's not to pardon him.  He is still a weasel, and much of this is populist rhetoric aimed at electoral advantage.

I see.  Thanks for clearing that up.  I'm glad we can agree that is a weasel, and will not do what is in the best interest for the people.  Which is to deliver more liberty.

I like the term Judas Goat, also.  Acts like he's one of us, who believes in liberty, but leads us to the slaughter.

1. I don't care if he is a Bilderberg member.
2. He is a weasel.
3. Your post is completely irrelevant to mine and it is irrelevant to your own thread topic. Why did you quote me?

No, not anything.  Not take away laws that take away our rights.

That is a fundamental misunderstanding about government power.  They work for privilege and the people who pay for privilege.  Voters are just a means to an end (gaining the power to deal privilege for profit) not the end itself.

The sooner people wake up to that fact the faster things will change in a meaningful way.  Not this reform and electioneering BS that is a rigged game.
