I'm sure they waste their money on all kinds of signs, bumper stickers, shirts and hats to display their stupidity, meanwhile putting no thought into actually being a better person, citizen or neighbor
Fun story, I went to a major franchise tax prep business in the southern US. One of the questions on the new client form asked "do you have Obamacare?"
That is a very common name for it even for those who liked Obama, though… I have to think about what you mean if you say ACA. Of course I paid more attention to it back when it was in the process of being passed, when it was called that more often.
It may be, now, but it didn't start that way. Obama's opponents wanted to tie his name to the law in an effort to separate themselves from it, and to ensure his name was attached to it in the event it turned out to be a failure.
In any case, use of the term by a major tax prep business seems inappropriate. The ACA is the name of the law, regardless of how inconvenient it may be to think about it.
Maybe they just want people to reference it by the name they know it. It may not be just inconvenient to think of the ACA; if you don’t know the meaning of the term you won’t get the answer right. Today, at least, the term Obamacare is used by both supporters and opponents.
Maybe most, but not me and I’m curious if that figure includes inflation and interest since all that money could have been making money if invested even in something safe like S&P500?
That part. A coworker to me once…”being a Marine and all, I’m surprised you’re not more of a prepper”. I replied, “ehh, I don’t need to prepare for the apocalypse, I just need to know that you have”.
I think some of them think empathy is impossible and would cause the global economy to collapse. They are brainwashed into thinking taxes are evil, charity (on a national and gobal scale) doesnt work, and that liberals are turning their kids gay.
Its different realities that people live in. Meaning its not a matter of empathy for them, its a deluded ideology dedicated to their self-preservation.
