Forcing insurance

Forcing insurance

What does that have to do with the rest of the U.S. government?

Socialized medicine isn't the same thing as Socialism.

Forcing insurance

You do realise that the forcing of any specific law is leaning towards socialism, right?

Let's legalize murder!  You know, because we all want to follow in Ben's footsteps!

what's wrong with murder?

The entire idea of Obamacare in itself is a socialist ideal. What Obamacare seeks to do is let everyone have the exact same healthcare, making things "Fair". And as most know, having everything be "fair" is the driving motive behind socialism.

it's also the driving motive between sharing, rules in sports, and the majority of nice things you are taught to do

pageloss response to sev:

Despite the fact this is an internet argument between teenagers on a lego forum, you should probably cite this.

Also, you didn't respond to my other post. Are you willing to agree that calling Obama a socialist is pretty misleading?

I wasn't calling Obama a socialist. In fact, he is not a socialist. He is just utterly horrid at spending money and being a president in general.
I was calling our government a bunch of egotistical socialist pissants.
Wasn't it our government who thought of taxing the rich more and taxing the poor less?
This is taxation based on income. i.e. one of the primary ideals behind socialism.

Basically, you are punished for success and rewarded for laziness or just plain lack of success.

This is what Karl Marx had proposed before changing it into Communism.

But there's a problem. We currently don't have the money to support Obamacare. We're what, 14 trillion dollars in debt? Let's try and actually get out of debt before focusing on social issues.

Funny how Romney was behind Obamacare in the first place.

How about we get rid of social security as well?

No, the driving motive behind socialism is that the government controls the means of production.

You're using the metaphorical definition. If a society decides to make everyone the same, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are a socialist government. Pay attention in school, Zephyr.

I believe we hit 17 trillion this year.

Kindergarten teaches you to be kind to others, not be greedy and to attempt to own everyone
