Clinton to Garnish Wages for Universal Health Care?

Hillary Screams
That sounds about as idiotic as anything I've heard her, or anybody say. Where the hell does she get the idea a president can just "garnish" people's wages to pay for her political dreams, whether or not they want the "snake oil" she's selling? Does she expect to be elected dictator? Wages are garnished when you don't pay a bill you owe, not when the president thinks you should pay for her flights of fancy. (As far as that's concerned, I hope she never sees the chair behind the desk in the Oval Office again, except as a visitor) If she ever gets elected and carries out this threat, I promise to quit whatever job I have and send her the finger in a "nice note." Oh, by the way. I'll probably also sue the government because such an action would be patently unconstitutional. But the best way to handle her is to make sure she never gets near that office.

I hate to break the news to you guys, but your wages are already garnished. Garnished to pay for Israeli protection from a very small Palastinian "state". Garnished to pay for propping up a dictator in Pakistan. Garnished to pay for a very costly war in Iraq.
Oh and if you have any health care coverage right now it is already garnished by your employer in reduced wages. I see very little difference.

You talk like you think we're stupid. There is a very clear legal difference between garnishment and taxation. You may not be able to see the difference, but I do. I see you don't like any action to stop the Islamic terrorists. That tells me a lot about your way of thinking. By the way: that"dictator" in Pakistan has just been defeated in an election.

What is the difference between taxation and garnishment? Either one will get me sent to jail for not paying. The difference is very thin.

When the head of the military takes over a country it is called a dictatorship. When a parliment is taken over by parties that oppose him it is not being defeated. Was GWB defeated in 2006 when the democrat won? Musharaf is still in power and still has his puppet judiciary supporting him. How can you not call Pakistan a dictatorship but call Venezula one?
