And when business run the numbers and determine that it’s cheaper to pay the fines than provide health care, what will happen then? How will Liberals blame that turn of events on Bush?

Stupak’s committee, too. Not only did he sell his soul (If he had one), but he has been elevated to Newspeak enforcer.

Have they been issued subpoenas?

Gandhi fought the entire British Empire by simply not complying. Do you think little o or Holder is going to haul in the head of AT&T or John Deere in handcuffs?

can only prove his “manliness” by “demanding” appearances from CEO’s of major companies. They have called the Oil Co. execs., Toyota execs., and any others they must squelch. Where in the law does it demand that these people must comply? Isn’t it time that these companies start sending their attorney’s, and to question the legality, and purpose, of the marxists? Why do these companies comply, when they know they have the American people behind them?

Please will someone explain to me why/where these Congress goons have the authority to do this.

and their stock plummets and they can’t sell more stock to raise more capital and/or have less for capital reinvestment does this mean that people working for those companies are going to lose their jobs at a higher rate?

Just asking… It doesn’t matter much since they all get their share of Obamamoney later on right?

Repeat.

The altervative and consevative media should do to these hearing what the MSM did to HUAC. We shouldnt take this lightly. We should embrace it and report it to the world, and we should use Cold War communism nomenclature.

The persecution of administration critics should be outed, exposed and the Dems should drown in the backlash.

the equities rally on Monday, March 29, 2010, if I’m wrong like the professionals I’ve been reading up til now, so what?
But if the rally does end Monday, the Unions will be demanding that the House vote against this shiznet after they voted for it.
Remember, some of this crap was pushed because the Unions pensions looked like dog du-du after the bear market bottom and they needed to shore up their health bennies. So another down leg that takes out last March’s low will make them scream like _______________ .

The more the corporate worls allows itself to get pushed around, the more they deserve it.

It’s about time they grew some stones and put Waxman and these idiots in their place. First of all, they should ask how they know so much about business and accounting practices when none of them have worked a day in their lives.

I have been fuming for over a year now. Clearly I dont’ see things the way the average Joe sees them.

These guys are laughable in their absurd thinking and frightening in their reckless abuse of power. When do the “folks’ start to wake up.

They got their way, and now they are whining because they don’t like the way it turned out. This sounds eerily familiar . . .oh that’s right it is like dealing wtih a 4 year old. Of course I like to think my 4 yr old is smarter.

….publish a running tally of entities that O and his henchmen have told to shut up?

a fascist. The man thinks that just because he’s a member of Congress that he can haul anyone he wants before him for the mere act of disagreeing with him. He is trying to use his office as a weapon if intimidation. I want to see someone in the GOP challenge him on his abuse of power. Waxman is a disgrace. He serves his ideology, not the American people. He is one of about 50 old bulls that really need to be retired by voters. Unfortunately his district will probably reelect his corpse.

Dr. Dan Benishek. http://danbenishek.mypoliticalsite.com/ He is catching fire and Bart is in deep doo doo. Send him some cash and let’s throw this lacky out. You may have wanted to thin about all this Bart BEFORE you voted YES!!! You sell out piece of trash!!

The SEC requires them to assess in detail the speculative impact of Global Warming on the value of the enterprise, but… they dare not make a peep if they think that Congress’s new tax might affect them negatively.

We have fallen into that rabbit hole.

Everyone knows only Right-Wing Wackos (and people who believe in the Second Amendment) lawfully carry firearms. The Left would be at an unfair disadvantage…

They would have to appoint a czar to oversee the rules and dictate a Fairness Duel Doctrine.

…then surely they think they can force you to justify an opinion. The statements by the companies were opinions. perhaps backed by documents, which the companies should claim are proprietary, but opinions nonetheless. So that now, the O team feels it can repress any kind of dissent, including opinions. THE BALL IS NOW IN THE COURT OF THE FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM. IT CAN NOW UTTER THE WORDS GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH, AND IT CAN DO SO IN CONCERT WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OR MERELY AS A LOOSE CONFEDERATION. BUT THESE PEOPLE, UNLIKE MERE TEAPARTIERS, HAVE MONEY, POWER AND PRESTIGE. THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUSTIFY THEMSELVES IN THE EYES OF THE PUBLIC FOR THEIR OWN SAKE, AND FOR THE PUBLIC’S.
Mr. Waxman, I know not what course others may take, but as for me, my opinion is that the health care reform legislation will cost my company $100 million, and no you may not have my e-mails.

Politicians like Waxman would outlaw the right and march us off into reeducation camps if he could?

Publicly tell them to go to Hell, that they are a private company and can say whatever they choose to say and operate their business in whatever way they choose.

I just got done watching my favorite show “Little House on the Prairie” – you know, the place where there is no unemployment insurance (just starvation and death if you don’t actually work)…the place that people take care of their own families and don’t use Medicare money to warehouse their parents in nursing homes…the place where no one is was forced to buy horse insurance or pay fines if they don’t..the place where if a bridge is out, the people fix it and don’t wait for the government to do it with $1 billion dollars…In today’s episode, they beat out the railroad when the company tried to use the “eminent domain” approach (with the permission of the govt of course). The best part of the show was at the end where the one farmer told the “empire builder” that the good people would always win in the end – they would not give up their property or let anyone destroy their country. It was quite inspiring actually.

And the finale of the show is my ultimate favorite – when they learn their land is going to be taken over, they blow up the businesses and their own farms. A classic.

I guess 3M will get a letter from Waxman as well:

3M To Take $85-90 Million Non-Cash Charge Tied To Health Bill

http://blogs.barrons.com/stockstowatchtoday/2010/03/26/3m-to-take-85-90-million-non-cash-charge-tied-to-health-bill/

there would be no Democrats left.

I understand and agree to all the reasons to be resisting the evil empire…on the other hand don’t we all agree that the facts ( what these companies are stating) are true? Just like Paul Ryan is the most credible critic (IMO) because of his command of the facts of the bill, these CEO’s will carve up the Dems. And as has been cited earlier,,this could be a Ollie North moment.
If the reasons why this bill sucks from a business prospective were presented, it might be demagogued but at least the critics could go on the offensive.
