SPOILED ROTTEN!!!

Governor-elect Scott Walker kept up his claim that public employee benefits must be reined in by releasing figures comparing the benefits of public and private sector workers.

Public sector unions have taken issue with Walker's comments that he made this week in which he talked about weakening public employee unions and controlling benefits to help attack the state's deficit. Unions have also emphasized that while benefits might be greater, salaries are often lower.

Here is a portion of Walker's statement:

* The average employer contribution for private sector retirement plans is 5.3% of payroll. The employer portion of the contribution for the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) ranges between 10.55% and 13.3% of payroll (WPRI report: The Imbalance Between Public and Private Pensions in Wisconsin).

* The Milwaukee Public School system spends up to $26,846 per year to provide family health insurance coverage for teachers. The nationwide average for family health insurance coverage for all public and private employers is only $13,770 (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sept 12, 2010 article entitled: Public workers' generous benefits come at a price).

* Nationwide, all public and private employees pay an average of 29% of their annual health care premiums. Milwaukee Public School teachers pay only 8% on average. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sept 12, 2010 article entitled: Public workers' generous benefits

Ten percent of this country is STILL out of work, massive inflation on consumable goods is draining our family budget, health insurance premiums take the rest of our paychecks leaving most of us with left for ANY kind of retirement, and a bunch of spoiled whining union brats are throwing a temper tantrum over having to actually pay something toward their medical and pension plans. Then they bitch about their "collective bargaining rights" being taken away. No, not all, just some. If the government didn't make those changes, there would be no guarantees that John Q. Taxpayer wouldn't get screwed by these Marxists in the future. Even with these changes, I assure you, there are plenty of people out there right now that would be ECSTATIC to have that kind of compensation! If this wasn't so serious, I'd LMAO! Fer cryin' out loud, where do I sign up? SHEESH!

AGAIN, OBAMACARE DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!

...and this time, it's whole damned thing!!!

BREAKING: Federal judge rules Obamacare unconstitutional

The full text of the decision from Federal Judge Roger Vinson is not available yet, but according to reporters who've seen the decision, he's ruled the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act unconstitutional. The ruling favors of the 26 state attorney generals challenging the law. The judge ruled the individual mandate that requires all Americans to purchase health insurance invalid and, according to the decision, "because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire Act must be declared void."

This ruling is even more significant than last month's ruling against Obamacare in Federal Court in Richmond, Virgina. This time, half of the entire country was represented in this suit, and also, the whole law has been found unconstitutional!!! Ultimately, the Supreme Court will likely have the final word on this piece of crap legislation, but so far, chances of it being relegated to the dust bin of history are looking very good!!!

***Keep paying, folks! It ain't over yet!***

OBAMACARE DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!

...at least for now. :)

Judge Calls Health Law Unconstitutional

RICHMOND, Va.—A federal court ruled Monday that a central plank of the health law violates the Constitution, dealing the biggest setback yet to the Obama administration's signature legislative accomplishment.

In a 42-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson said the law's requirement that most Americans carry insurance or pay a penalty "exceeds the constitutional boundaries of congressional power."

The individual mandate "would invite unbridled exercise of federal police powers," wrote Judge Hudson, of the Eastern District of Virginia. "At its core, this dispute is not simply about regulating the business of insurance—or crafting a scheme of universal health insurance coverage—it's about an individual's right to choose to participate."

The lawsuit, brought by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, is the first court ruling against the law since President Barack Obama signed it in March. More than 20 federal lawsuits have been filed against the overhaul, and judges in two of those cases ruled in favor of the Obama administration.

While the ruling creates a headache for the law's supporters, it doesn't mean states or the federal government must stop implementing the law.

Even though the fight isn't over to stop the federal government's takeover of the healthcare system - presently the greatest system in the world, it's about time a judge with common sense ruled that this nightmare called Obamacare was in fact unconstitutional. Seriously, WTF gives them the right to force me into buy anything against my will?!?! So he can rape my grandchildren's future in order to pay for this bureaucratic monstrosity?!?!?! I realize that this is going to end up being decided by the Supreme Court, but why was this crap allowed to even be signed into law in the first place??? Hopefully SCOTUS will support this lower court's ruling that the federal government has no right to impose individual mandates for health care coverage and if that's the case, then Obamacare will fall apart completely because without the ability to penalize taxpayers for not having health care coverage, there won't be enough money available to sustain the program.

Keep praying, folks... keep praying!

Vote Obamacare? We'll vote you outta there!
