While the Mega-Rich Businesses are being "outed" for election tactics that intimidate, some small businesses are doing the same thing - though not necessarily for the same reasons.
Thinking the unthinkable. As horrible as it is to think of this, the wise are doing just that.
Today's GOP is the equivalent of a 1960's Madison Avenue ad agency aggressively promoting the benefits of cigarette smoking, fully knowing that if they're successful, millions will suffer and die but only caring about making the wealthy people they work for, wealthier.
Romney's latest set of magic political underwear will not protect him nor the fantasy he wants to promote about being able to repeal the ACA.
In what can only be described as a surprising outcome, Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the four liberal Supreme Court judges to uphold the Affordable Care Act and its key provision of the individual mandate.
Romney's ideal America is one where the wealthy buy their own White House and Congress, tax revenues are rerouted from the poor, elderly and majority into the pockets of the wealthy and all regulations that prevent the wealthy from harming the public are removed.
If the Affordable Care Act goes down. No problem. The Justices and the Congress get GREAT medical care at tax payer expense.
In his slippery slope argument against the ACA, Justice Alito simply asks us to consider all the people who've been bankrupted and have lost their homes having to pay for their own sudden burial and the ongoing costs of remaining dead.
If the Court finds the mandate unconstitutional, will they find it severable from the rest of the law? If not, that would strike the whole ACA down. If so, can the ACA survive?
Republicans love to hate, in fact, for Valentine's Day today, the GOP website will send a dozen hateful pejoratives in a gift box to that special Muslim or gay person on your enemies list.
