But in fact, she did say tax. she said under this new law, there s a $4,000 tax credit to middle-income families. there s a business tax credit so on one side, if it s a tax credit, guess what? speaker, former speaker pelosi, it s got to be a tax. the law is a tax. you can t say it s a tax credit when money goes this way but when money goes that wa it s not a tax. it s a penalty. those are two of the buzz words. any time something would be brought up or republicans are having a problem with it, they bring up mass care, mitt romney and they also talk about a situation where the reason why it s unpopular is because the republicans will spend $200 million to run down this rule. when in reality, social security when it passed was at 70% approval rating and so did medicare when those two major programs were passed. this has never been popular ever. it s still 49% of the country and the most recent poll who was against the affordable care act. here s what you think about this today and e ....
That, you know, alvarez was a three rivers district board water board meeting, you know, this is happening in different boards across the country, different places. we have to shut it down but we have to do it right in narrow fashion and protect the speech that guys and gals went over to fight for. that s all true and you re saying the symbolism but you see a difference between someone pretending to be a cop and saying i m a policeman as opposed to someone saying i fought in the war. well, i don t see much difference but i know there s an immediate difference of whether or not that cop is going to help someone and a misrepresentation of the law vs. misrepresentation of veteran status but hey, those are shades of gray as i saw last week which i don t like to see and we got to protect veterans in every way we can. all right, pete, thanks so much for joining us with vets for freedom and he joins us every monday. thanks, pete. all right, 13 minutes before the top of the hour. democ ....
Yes, as the chief justice, it s his role to make it not look like a partisan court. is it, though? or should he rule about this independently and forget what the other people think on the court and do what he thinks personally? there are constitutional scholars who say, no, individual laws are argued. do you bring them up and decide on the law? forget what the court is or the vote is. if it s 5-4, 6-3, forget that vote on the law and the concern is that chief justice roberts switched for what you say, for reasons that make the court look fair and, you know, unbiassed and then it s probably a bad ruling. right. bottom line is the only reason he ruled the way he ruled is because he looked at the arguments and the only thing i ll buy is the fact that the constitution does allow for congress to raise taxes in order to support a program. in this case, a law so therefore, it is constitutional. i m not saying i love the law that john roberts went on to ....
It s infuriating and gets me fired up inside but i m a free speech guy. that s what i fought for. that s what we fought for is for people to blab their mouths so i know there was a supreme court decision recently which vs. alvarez and it was just too broad. it struck down every single form of misrepresentation so we need to go back to the books and write a new law that makes it illegal if someone material benefits but it s terrible but you can t shut it all down. you would like to see a law that prevents me from going around giving speeches as if i fought in war and making money off it but you think it s too broad because you re worried about other people getting caught up in this net. yeah, i mean, content based restrictions in the constitution require a very high bar and we don t want lists of subjects that you can t talk about privately or publicly. as much as it s terribly to misrepresent service, that could become one of them so of course, i want limitations on financial gai ....
The 3.8% increase in investment taxs that are there. that s crushing to business. it is crushing business. the law itself will crush business and the law is a tax. whether you like what roberts said or not, the one thing he said, in my opinion, loud and clear. i watched what nancy pelosi said, but loud and clear was that this was a tax and it s passing because it s a tax and that was loud and clear! and obamaromised there would be no tax and it s really a tax on the middle class. it s going to be a tax on the middle class. they re going to be paying numbers that they never even dreamt of paying before. so it really has energized people and i think it s really energized the republicans. i think it s going to be a huge very interesting and i ve seen it all my life. things that happen that are bad and this was very bad all of a sudden, turn out to be good. maybe it will be good. maybe it gets mitt romney elected and he ll be a great president. and by the way, as president, forget abou ....
