    I was just averaging into lots of stuff on both sides, and taking advantage of the chop, but you are definitely right, it is time for a drink, it was stressful as hell, i kept on getting myself into new positions that had me looking at a loss that was going to blow out my day times 5...... only to see them come back and turn into huge winners.... I made money on every single one that i traded, but had some downright ugly unrealised losses for a bit.....

    We need to clearly define what is a tax.

    This is not a tax, IMO, it is a mandate.

  5. I don't even get what it is yet. We already have medicaid/medicare taxes, so why not just raise those? If you are poor and qualify for medicaid aren't we already paying for your healthcare? I just don't see what the purpose of this mandate/tax even is, to me it appears nothing more than a power grab. what am i missing?

  6. A contribution for the support of a government required of persons, groups, or businesses within the domain of that government.
    A fee or dues levied on the members of an organization to meet its expenses.
    A burdensome or excessive demand; a strain.

    Tax is pretty well defined. What we're witnessing is just what can be taxed. Apparently it's whatever the government wants it to be.

    Okay.
    Would you buy a General Motors product because the government demands that you do so because "it is for the support of a government"?

  8. "For all of the screaming the Right did over single-payer — and for good, outcome-based reasons — at least the money paid by taxpayers would go directly to government . The Supreme Court has signed off on what is, in very practical terms, a tax levied by the insurance industry on Americans simply for existing. It’s an amazing, and fearsome, decision that really should have both Right and Left horrified."

    Does the Right's war on science, truth and decency count?
