|
that (I hope) are finally waking up to the facts that : 1) we desperately need and can afford (it's cheaper) a national health care system like all of the other 1st world nations have, and 2) the distribution of wealth in America is untenable.
Our nation of corporate owned media that repeats the corporate talking points (designed to maintain the status quo) are finally becoming suspect in the "class struggle" that has finally become apparent to the masses. Hopefully this trend continues and spreads. In order for America and its' ideals to survive, the majority of our citizens must open their eyes to the 2 America's currently co-existing in this country. We must end the wealthy tyranny that has taken control and become one country with the same set of rules for all. My brother (until recently a believer in what ever was "reported" on the "news") came over for coffee this morning. He began telling me about what he had seen on the MSM "news" this morning. It said "in order to avoid the "fiscal cliff" we must cut social security, medicaid and all entitlements." HE actually called bullshit on this. He recognized the need to actually tax the wealthy. I informed him of the tax rates during the 1950's..he was amazed and agreed that austerity for the masses was bullshit. One step at a time, Americans are waking up. IMO, "Occupy" started this awakening and I hope (so much) that it spreads and America becomes one nation...  |

91. "Opposition to health care law hurts Olive Garden parent"
|
7:54PM EST December 4. 2012 - The restaurant company that owns the Olive Garden and Red Lobster chains said Tuesday that its bottom line is suffering in part because because of opposition to President Obama's health care law.
Darden Restaurants has rejected the requirement that employers provide health insurance to full-time workers and said it would cut employees' hours to dodge the mandate under the Affordable Care Act, The Hill notes. That would force low-paid part-time workers to buy their own insurance or be covered by government-created exchanges starting in 2014.
