Kentucky can save Billions & Billions

Reminds me of a used car salesman I once knew in Germany. You might want to brush up on the salesmanship effort if you are looking to undercut the competition as your presentation leaves a lot to be desired from an entity that thinks being rude is limited to saying curse words.

And your apology for the fallacy I was discussing the roads issue is where? How's about your explanation for how private roads=god complex? Or are you merely here to pimp for your business and tell us how wonderful you are?

It has been,, and in most states (if not all).

But it keeps coming back,, under new names,, and for different reasons each time.

They seem to have a problem taking NO for an answer.

Is it true that German car salesmen want to stop Socialism dead in it's tracks? I didn't know.

There is a serious push for a national ID card right now. It is an issue that I think more folks should pay attention to. I know it's hard with all the mud they are slinging right now, but read this propaganda piece to get Massachusetts residents to buy into a national ID card.



hxxp://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2014/08/25/massachusetts-licenses-rejected-parts-washington/iQl5H871MxTHAqpnN1Rj7N/story.html

They're already nationalizing drivers' licenses. A few years back, one of my daughters was riding back to California from Arizona with a friend who got pulled over in AZ for a traffic violation. Her friend was a California resident with a CA license. The AZ cop ran her friend's license and was able to pull up a ticket that was overdue for payment in Cali. Now how does that happen unless our licenses are linked up nationally?

HOW DO YOU PEOPLE NOT HAVE PASSPORTS? Have none of you ever been outside of your own damn country?

Everyone I know has a passport.

There was a time, in the not-too-distant past (circa '09?), when you could travel to and from Canada and Mexico without a passport, as well as all U.S. territories.

There was a time, in the not-too-distant past (circa '09?), when you could travel to and from Canada and Mexico without a passport, as well as all U.S. territories.

As a kid I remember driving up to Niagara Falls and the border patrol took 5 seconds, they didn't even bother with passports most of the time. They just looked inside the car, asked my dad a question or two and waved him on...That was coming back from the Canadian side to the US side.


In 2000 I flew to Canada for a conference...BTW I'm a brown man...Could be confused with middle eastern looking....on the way back at the airport in Toronto I must have misplaced my passport...I couldn't find it in my bag when I reached for it at the immigration counter....I told him I forgot my passport...


He asked me a few goofy questions, "Where was I born" and a couple others, then something like, "What did you do in the morning everyday at school?" I looked at him with a blank stare....he started giving me hints, "Everyday...in the morning...first thing you did.....in class...." and I'm like, "OH! The pledge of allegiance!"

We both started laughing and he said, "Next time don't forget your passport and you wont have to answer stupid questions..." and that was it! He smiled at me and was like...go get to your plane, silly...



I later found my passport in my other carry on when I got home....

That was a different time. I can't imagine what would happen if I made that mistake in 2014. I don't think they would be smiling and laughing about it.

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

Haha they want it to just be like social security numbers. Oh sure, it's a voluntary system, but you can't get a "job" unless you do something under the table without one. Or open a bank account. Or get a passport. Or join a University, etc etc etc. Though I'm sure each has its own exceptions. I heard a success story of someone opening a bank account without a SSN once.

First it's the airports, then federal thugs at state lines will demand you present your REAL id to cross state lines

10 years from now you can't do anything unless you have a barcode on your wrist

Massachusetts, You say that the so-called "Commonwealth of Massachusetts" is THE BIRTH PLACE OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION IN 2014, oh please. Massachusetts with Socialist JFK in Medicare, Socialist Ted Kennedy and Socialist Mitt Romney has done more to harm to this great country than any other state, bar none. What, you don't like me posting about someone who is actually fighting REAL ID like Libertarian Adrian Wyllie who was arrested fighting Real ID, i find that strange.

I know you were so pleased when you voted for Mitt Romney in the last Presidential election and trust me, I did not, and could not vote for that Flip Flopping Socialist. Mitt Romney should just forget about coming to Ames, IA, my home town and hosts the first Presidential debate on Oct. 15th 2015, because he will be run out of town and he knows it. Us Iowa people don't like Mitt, that's an understatement. Look me right in the eyes and ask me if I care what you think. Take a good look at this video of Mitt Romney being smashed by Jan Mickelson, a friend of mine, the last time he ran for President. Jan told the Socialist from Massachusetts that he knew more about the Mormon church than Mitt knew, ha ha. I'm sure Mitt will bypass Jan show on WHO in Des Moines at all costs. What happened to the first amendment anyway? Some guy named Massachusetts decides who can say what, get real. Jan is so much smarter than Mitt, too funny.

[The Free Hornet]

Massachusetts,

...

I know you were so pleased when you voted for Mitt Romney in the last Presidential election and trust me, I did not, and could not vote for that Flip Flopping Socialist.

Do you have a reference to support "Massachusett" [the user] voting for Romney? If not, that's libel.

[The Free Hornet]

I was involved with stopping Hillary care if you really need to know The Free Hornet.

It wasn't stopped. Point of fact, you brag about working for the health insurance industry which is like bragging about supplying the barb wire at Auschwitz.

I was running Iowa and Nebraska for the National Association for the Self Employed. The largest association of self-employed people in America.

There ought to be evidence of how pro-liberty this was under your leadership (I don't want personal info nor do forum rules permit me to post your "personal details" - but unbacked claims suck). If it wasn't a liberty organization, why are you giving us your resume?

Phil Gramm was the first person to tell me about this idea about a tax-free savings account with tax-free deposits, growth and withdrawals, total tax freedom.

"Would you like your money to grow tax free today without the red tape of Washington? Send one dollar to Tax-Free Dude, 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield."

Anyway, I'm having trouble parsing your thought process. Seemingly, you needed a sitting US Senator to explain to you the concept of no income tax? Or rather you were enamored with the idea of your money under their watchful eye?! Which is it?

I'm sure you know all about them because Ron Paul has been a big supporter of tax-free MSA before I wrote the 1st one in the United States in 1996.

Per wikipedia, "Missouri was the first state to do so in 1993." So what are you talking about? Since you wrote it, do you care to supply a hyperlink to the document? ["1st one" or not] Again, I don't want personal information. If I claim to have written "X", then I ought to insert a link to where you can read or purchase "X". Also, how did RP know to be a "big supporter" before you wrote that first, groundbreaking MSA?!?!?!

I'm sure you probably have a tax free account because it is very similar to an IQ test.

I'm not aware of any tax free accounts (and these aren't things we "have", it is how we are "had"). No MSA. I can't contribute to a Roth. The 401K is deferred taxation. Regardless, it doesn't matter much. Money loses utility once you can afford the basics. Basic reading comprehension ought to have made clear my focus on individual liberties (not corporate perks).

Do you want to pay taxes on every dollar earned or would you prefer to go tax free?

You can't offer that choice. Nor does an MSA. Again, I'm not fooled by nudges to keep the sheep in line.

Tell me The Free Hornet, where do you have your tax-free HSA with?

Seriously? Learn to mind your own business. I suggest you redact the question and not fish for personal details that are tangential to the conversation. If you want to spew your life all over the net, go ahead. Why are you asking me to?

TIME was owned by FORTIS, the 18th largest company in the world doing $4.5 Billion net annually. When I got the award for the first tax-free MSA we were in Paris at the La Grand hotel across from the Paris Opera. FORTIS rented out the Paris Opera for the formal presentation. Tell me The Free Hornet, what do you do and who do you have your tax-free HSA with, just wondering? You sound like a pretty smart guy. I usually don't tell anybody to fuXk off, sorry.

You should tell people $#@! off. It would express how you act and is faster than oozing the $#@! you're full of all over the internet.

[R.G]

The Free Hornet - first you asked, "Why was he personally telling you stuff anyway? You should have told him to $#@! off.

I read my first libertarian book in 1988 and haven't forgotten the lessons. Lessons that Phil Gramm never learned:"

So, I tell you, now you whine that I'm spewing too much information. Some whiners are hard to please.

All you had to do is read the wikipedia stuff and it tells you quite clearly the history of MSAs. The 1993 MSA that you are talking about was taxed to the max by the IRS. Of course that could not be a tax-free MSA. It says that MSAs were passed in 1996 - I will add on 8/5/1996 - and then in October 1996 TIME Insurance Company, not Golden Rule, was the 1st to market and I enrolled the 1st one, sorry.

TIME was like you and said, "MSAs enjoy tax-free deposits, tax-deferred growth and tax-free withdrawals." But, when President Bush said, "MSAs have tax-free deposits, growth and withdrawals," I started advertising them that way because you only have 59 1/2 seconds in a 60 second radio commercial, everybody knows that.

The MSAs with an effective date of 1/1/1997 were automatically switched by TIME to tax-free HSAs without the client having to request the change.

I hope this clears up some of your confusion The Free Hornet. So, have you went tax-free yet or is it like you say, "Too personal." ha ha

[The Free Hornet]

I hope this clears up some of your confusion The Free Hornet.

Yes that paints a better picture, thanks.

So, have you went tax-free yet or is it like you say, "Too personal." ha ha

No and yes. More particularly, the manner in which you asked was - to my taste - offensive in the extreme. You should drop f-bombs instead. Seriously!

As to health plans, I do my best to stay away from the medical industry and have never even had a cholesterol test (despite being north of 40.... barely). Our plans at work are BC/BS PPO, PPO+(select), and HMO. I'm on the HMO as I don't use it anyway and it is the lowest cost option.

I didn't know HSA was still an option in Illinois/USA. I am glad to have learned this:

[this plan is not offered at work yet despite us being Blue Cross/Blue Shield... I will ask in the future about it (it's not my area of responsibility so not the bowl of flakes for me to piss in)]

But from the bottom of my heart, I wish everybody in the healthcare industry would die a horrible death. And I say death rather than serious burns, disfigurment or dismemberments because we will be without a medical industry for a little while and won't have time for that.

If you can't board planes, I wonder if this means you can't board their special trains? Or, will there be special scenarios where boarding of their trains doesn't require Fed backed IDs?

Freedom of movement under United States law is governed primarily by the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the United States Constitution which states, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States." As far back as the circuit court ruling in Corfield v. Coryell, 6 Fed. Cas. 546 (1823), the Supreme Court recognized freedom of movement as a fundamental Constitutional right. In Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869), the Court defined freedom of movement as "right of free ingress into other States, and egress from them."[1] However, the Supreme Court did not invest the federal government with the authority to protect freedom of movement. Under the "privileges and immunities" clause, this authority was given to the states, a position the Court held consistently through the years in cases such as Ward v. Maryland, 79 U.S. 418 (1871), the Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873) and United States v. Harris, 106 U.S. 629 (1883).

The Privileges and Immunities Clause (U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1, also known as the Comity Clause) prevents a state from treating citizens of other states in a discriminatory manner. Additionally, a right of interstate travel may plausibly be inferred from the clause.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privile...unities_Clause

Amendment X (i.e., not federalist powers permitted to require national identification or dictate state-to-state travels):

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

I hear you The Free Hornet, say no more I understand totally. Your Blue Cross is also Blue Cross of Texas. The healthcare industry just saved the live of my oldest son. I only have one of those you know. He was in the hospital 8 days and the bill was $250,000. Thank goodness for those docs. I found out last Saturday he owes $2,300 above his deductible because his assistant surgeon was out-of-network and his cost was $35,000. Not bad for 2 hours work. My son is on the PPO and if he was on the HMO he would have owed the entire $35,000 in addition to the deductible. (Which is insane - the HMO should be forced to pay at least their network payment but they don't)

Let me tell you about this Phil Gramm. Gramm was just repeating the work of the National Center of Policy Analysis(NCPA). The head guy there and I have had a running fight for 19 years and his name is Dr. John Goodman. Goodman is the problem why to this day nobody knows what the tax-free HSA is. Every time FOX News needed an expert on healthcare policy they would have Goodman on air. About 2 months ago the NCPA fired Goodman for sexual misconduct. So we won't be tortured any longer looking at his ugly mug on FOX News. The new guy, Dr. John Graham, and I have become best buds so things are looking up.

You, The Free Hornet, are going to have a tax-free HSA soon because the next President wants to de-link tax-free HSAs from health insurance. This means everybody in America can have a tax-free HSA. The tax-free HSA is a free bank account so everybody will have one soon. Yes the HSA is FREE so there is no commission. To this day I can honestly say that I have never made a penny on an HSA. I call that salesman abuse. Now I wish the healthcare industry could help my little brother but they can't.
