So, the anti-tax teabaggers are out there screaming and acting like asses fighting the public option. Most Republicans seem lukewarm on the co-ops until they get more details (in other words, to make sure the insurance industry can control them).
The insurance industry is pushing hard for mandates, and our legally bribed Senate is probably going to give it to them.
So --- a weak co-op and mandates. What does this really mean for the anti-tax teabaggers?
Answer: ha ha ha!
The key here are the subsidies for lower and middle income people that will no doubt be in the final bill. With a public option, there would be very little taxpayer funded waste with the subsidies. Without, the teabaggers had better pull out their checkbooks because these subsidies will have to cover the obscene executive salaries for our insurance industry overlords, the insatiable pressure for profits from the wealthy shareholders and wealthy Wall Streeters, the ridiculous overhead costs.
Teabaggers, you want unfettered capitalism? Prepare to pay for it - out of your own fucking pockets! Prepare to make the wealthy even wealthier courtesy of your tax dollars, shitheads.
Do they even understand what they're protesting?
