I am asking what system you use to decide on whether or what to purchase (meaning any product). A whole lot of people use a system based on their wallet, as in how much money they have to spend and how much the product costs, balanced with the actual need or desire for the product. It is called making a choice.

A lot of people use cost to guide their choice of whether or not they purchase a product, no? Most people use this method to decide whether or not they buy something, whether they are rich or poor.
What system do you use?
Wait for Obama to tell you.
I do not understand your post.
What system what?
Wait for Obama to tell me what?
Why the hell are you telling me I should pay for other people's healthcare when they can afford it?
I thought people like you were sick of entitlements anyway?edit on 10-7-2012 by habitforming because: (no reason given)
Actually it specifically says "CHOOSE" so yeah, it kind of did differentiate about choice. I cannot believe you are spending three pages arguing because you cannot read.

This is a blatant lie.
Your original statement did not include the word 'choose'. You made a later statement that said choose, but it is meaningless. You never mentioned any class of wealth.

We all pay for the uninsured now. Obamacare makes sure they have to chip in for themselves.
Any time you want to apologize for saying I lied is fine.
since you NEVER apologize for your errors, it wouldn't be appropriate to extend such a courtesy to you.

What about the 3.8% additional tax all Americans will have to pay on home sales starting Jan. 2013?
Q: Does the new health care law impose a 3.8 percent tax on profits from selling your home?
A: No, with very few exceptions. The first $250,000 in profit from the sale of a personal residence won’t be taxed, or the first $500,000 in the case of a married couple. The tax falls on relatively few — those with high incomes from other sources.

I own my land/home outright and it's worth more than 500k right now. I am not rich it took me 20 years to pay it off but should I sell it I should pay this tax why? I am retired military I am in no way part of the 1%.
Oh I know why - so the dip#s in Washington can buy more votes.... Neato.
The truth is that only a tiny percentage of home sellers will pay the tax. First of all, only those with incomes over $200,000 a year ($250,000 for married couples filing jointly) will be subject to it. And even for those who have such high incomes, the tax still won’t apply to the first $250,000 on profits from the sale of a personal residence — or to the first $500,000 in the case of a married couple selling their home.

you just don't get it do ya ??
let's try breaking it down, ok ?
you said --> "It means i no longer have to chip in," --> wrong.
you said --> "i no longer have to chip in for ppl who choose not to buy insurance" --> wrong again.
you said --> "it means the same for you" --> don't you wish
and then you claim WE don't have a clue ... you sure about that?
whether i buy insurance, comply with Obamacare or NOT, i'll still pay for those who are uninsured and so will you and that's the truth.

No, you are still a liar.
Here is what you posted on page 77 of this thread....

As I have said before, your post was removed by a mod because of your posting 'habits', but not before I quoted it here.
Care to tell us when you posted the 'choose' quote you are touting?
ETA: If you need a little help, you posted your 'choose' post here on PAGE 83.
Any time you want to apologize for saying I lied is fine.
Any time you want to stop lying is fine.

Meh, I'm actually pretty close to the 250k if we file jointly. Not selling anytime soon anyway. I need to loby for some neato exemptions from congress. I wonder if I could entice my congressman with a glass of fresh milk?

Wondering if you can see it yet.
Any time you want to apologize for saying I lied is fine.
Your claim is that I said that people that cannot afford insurance will have to chip in for themselves. I do not see that in anything you quoted so again, you are still lying about me having said it.
