So...how many monthly 4k checks did you have to write? To my eyes, it seems so much easier to support destructive economic policies when you are on the receiving end. So....how many monthly checks? I'm waiting. DEEZY WROTE: I have a family of 4 and never had to dole out 4k a month during Obama's time, so I have no idea what kind of coverage they required or their health backgrounds. Sounds like they must have had some serious health concerns. So, some of your friends had to pay high costs, so you hate the ACA?? Nice argument. Didn't impact you in any way? Love the friends argument. Talk about weak. Deezy. This is where your mind is disconnected from what was happening in the real world. Obviously, we all have different families and friends and we all live in different financial and economic circles. I can assure you, as I am sure Rush can chime in on, that people were getting hosed by the ACA. I'm surprised you are oblivious to the fact, but this is where you and I have a tremendous disconnect. Rush...please chime in with some of the experiences you witnessed so Deezy can wake up and smell the coffee. And you are wrong to assume it didn't affect me. I owned my own business for 30 years prior to my retirement this year. My rates doubled in the very first year of the ACA. So yes, it did affect me. That's the problem with you low wage earners. You want EVERYTHING subsidized but are delusional as to where the money actually comes from. Deezy. In regard to the ACA rates, I simply responded to your repeated rude commentary. You called me weak and implied that the ACA did not affect me personally and I replied that my rates doubled in the first year. I have no idea how old you are so perhaps you are of the younger generation which might help explain your rude behavior. Either way, there is no excuse for constantly ridiculing people on this site without merit. Fuha is 66 so he has zero excuse. I will admit that I have a bias against healthy, able to work freeloaders that are a drain on the tax payer. 5.6% of all government spending is spent on welfare. It would seem that you and Fubha would like to see this % rise. I personally would like to see it fall. If it falls, that would imply that more people are working and supporting themselves. How could that be a bad thing? Of course, if you are 66 and your door opens up to a hallway with kids running around, it's pretty likely that you are part of the 5.6% club and that's pretty pathetic considering the words that Fubha has typed here over the past several days. Moving on, I don't care about arguing about finances, wealth or being rich. I'm 56 and I retired last year. I have achieved my goals in business and now it's time to play golf. I will check back in on this thread this evening where I am sure I will be, once again, bashed into the high heaven for my comments.....but at least that will give you 5.6%-ers something to spend your time on today.

You're right. I am rude you are not. Get off your high horse. Enjoy your day. I will not engage in any further banter with you. My age has nothing to do with your constant negativity and elitist attitude. Have fun golfing.
