Women are not paid less for...

I have not read H.R 3962, and I doubt if I ever will. Drudge Report had a headline about everyone having to purchase a $15,000 gov't/corporate policy, or go to jail. No way that is going to happen, especially in the South. Governor Sanford, what have you got to lose? It's time for secession.

Americans have such short memories. Remember when public education was wonderful and segregated?.......Black and Whites both received a better education. The Rich then placed their children in Private and Christian Schools to solve the destruction of their children's education. The Public School System continued it's death spiral to the point that NOBODY comes out of an intercity Public School knowing anything, but simply glad to...

Who can possibly know what this bill does? Any bill that is 2,000 pages has to be filled with horrible provisions designed to extract wealth from the shrinking middle class. But, if we take news reports at their word then this will catastrophically raise health insurance premiums.
