South Carolina Takes On Obamacare
« on: December 09, 2013, 06:18:33 PM »
Senator Tom Davis is the single most consistent liberty minded pol in SC.  He introduced legislation last year that would neuter Obamacare within the confines of SC.  It is now moving through the legislature and, if you believe the source, has a pretty good chance of passage and signing by the governor. 

Don't think for a moment SC is a bastion of constitutional enthusiasm.  The same governor who is said to want to sign legislation neutering Obamacare (good) has sponsored an approximate 16% increase (year over year) in Medicaid.

Nice but, a tax deduction isn't going to be equal (in money you receive) to a tax refund of the same amount.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

Way long time ago, South Carolina was the first State to secede from the Union.

Sadly, I seem to recall we didn't last all eight seconds at that particular rodeo.

No.  You guys had the right idea, but for the wrong cause.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Seems to me this is perzackly the same cause as that other time.

And this time the slavery sidebar is race-neutral.

stay safe.
