The labels seem unnecessary here. You could've said "(there are many people here obviously do not)" - there's plenty of smart people who think this bill is going to be bad for the American federal government and American citizens.
The equivalent would be saying something like, "those internet left-wingers who think everyone should be taxed all the time" -> "internet left-wingers" is unnecessary, as is "internet libertarians". The people who oppose this are just people, not internet people, not labels.
- davidw 17y agoSorry, you're right. Apologies. I think I would have removed that if I'd reread it before wandering off to fix pancakes for breakfast, as it really isn't germane to the point I was trying to make, and with which I'm sure everyone can agree: most of us have things we don't want the government to buy for us, and some of us believe the government should buy very little for us with our own money. I'm just trying to say that between "tax" and "forced to buy" there isn't a large difference, not comment on what I think of the whole thing, which I continue to believe is off topic for this site.
