Look, I’m all for the maximum choice and individual control possible, but the idea that ONLY the “free market” will provide that choice, and gov’t will ALWAYS hinder it, is just completely false and misleading.
Tim, tim, tim… You know, unless you HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR YOUR OWN HC out of pocket, you NEVER have complete control or “choice.” All you can do is either be on the dole for a federal healthcare program like Medicaid, OR you have to go to an insurance co.!! That describes the VAST MAJORITY of Americans! Including those who use their employer for insurance.
Unless you’re Rush Limbaugh or David Koch, you CAN’T GET COMPLETE HC CHOICE! It’s just not gonna happen. I’m sorry.
The same Walmart that DOESN’T ALLOW UNIONS at all in its ranks, and who the NLRB STILL has yet to go after despite countless allegations of union-busting? The same corporations who get sweet deals from guys like Governor Walker while he busts unions?
The same “federal burden” of regulation that prevents a guy who defrauded taxpayers with HCA from being elected governor? OH WAIT! He WAS elected governor of Florida!! Republicans are such corporate dipshits.
Are corporate leaders REALLY saying, “Get the gov’t off my back”? You mean to tell me Exxonmobil and Walmart are complaining? Really? The same Big Oil that’s making out like BANDITS thanks to these high gas prices?? The same GE that paid ZERO federal taxes? The same Wall Street banks whose leaders GOT NOT A DAY of jail time?? WTF are Tim Pawlenty and these gopers talking about??
Yes… I’m sure corporate America is just DYING under the weight of federal regulation. Blow me.
Maybe in the 1800s, “rugged individualism” was the American way, but as we industrialized, things became A LOT more complicated, and gov’t had to get a lot more involved and complement the private sector’s failings. That’s just the way it is! Republicans seem to pretend or act like this is 1850 STILL.
This is 2011! SO THE FUCK WHAT if there’s some regulation. Big fucking deal. Exxonmobil can handle it. They made record profits! come on…
They call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. Trickle down just means the corporate leaders PISS on us (“trickle”, get it?). It’s no coincidence they used THAT term to describe their economy philosophy.
I mean, has ANY segment of society other than a mere 10 or 20% REALLY achieved the so-called American Dream on its own? We’ve NEEDED the leadership of unions, many Democrats, some liberal Republicans, ETC. to make a lot of laws to protect the middle class.
And OF COURSE, this is sponsored by NONE OTHER than Americans for “Prosperity”, the astoturf teabag group funded and/or controlled by the Koch brothers (at least in part). A for P doesn’t GIVE A FUCK about the average Joe! None of these people do. They want us to just bow to our corporate masters and not question their “wisdom.” Only THEY (the corporate leaders) know what’s best for the economy, and their reps in Washington will do their bidding. Regular “peons” know nothing.
Down with DOMESTIC RELATIONS and the DHS, Legalize weed, sex marriage. Legalize LIFE and HEALTH. Down with Corporate PROFITS. Down with the scum suckers of the freest nation in the world. Down with the “MORAL” MINORITY.
What a great cheerleader for the simple minded, a shallow speech with corporate cheers.
That guy is a snake and working for the Corporations, claims america is the greatest nation for being the freest. Wrong you just gave up your liberties over the past 10 years.
He is just another goon trying to get tax cuts for the rich and nice deals for oil companies ect. Trying to get rid of medicare. Don’t fall for this false prophet talking with a split tongue! You can tell he is a liar by the tone of his voice and expression in his face. He is just babytalking to get people’s trust.
When a representative preaches what’s wrong but does not really offer any solutions to fix any of the issues he’s pimping, how can I take him seriously? SO TIM, What do you propose to do? other than being free to provide an answer to these problems? You say you did this and that but you forgot to include a proposed plan of what you plan to do to fix things. Fortunately I’m not in your district so I could vote against your bull.
Tim Pawlenty is just pandering like crazy. He smacks of desperation.
lol @ t-paw trying to be cool
I dont know much about this Pawlenty, but he seems like a douche and a fake.

I still say war defense spending is over 50%.

I almost expected him to ask “Are you ready to rock!?” before breaking in to a KISS cover.
I swear the only people I hate more than Liberals still in denial about Obomber the torturer is Mainstream republicans.
