10. BINGO! Mandate = payments to Wall Street
and the pols did this because we didn't allow for 'privatizing' Social Security and funneling withholdings to the guys running the pyramid scheme.

Mandate = make insurance companies the money launderers in hopes the people don't notice it's going to Wall Street. Mandate with no REAL (open to anyone) public option so people can boycott bad insurance companies (and they all are exempt from certain laws against collusion, don't forget) = taxes on each American, payable to Wall Street.

I don't have a rep on Wall Street, so isn't this getting a bit like that taxation without representation thing? Or is it just plain ol fascism that MY government works for the corporations and not me?
