A random logical fallacy example

The repubs were asked what they would do about the unemployed being uninsured. When it came to Newton Leroy Gingrich, he said that people should be allowed the same tax break for buying insurance that companies get. (Okay, good answer.) Then he says that people should be able to buy into association-sponsored plans, thereby being able to buy as a group instead of at the most expensive "individual" rates. (Okay, also a good answer . . . . not.) Once that happens, the insurance companies will be free to raise the prices on THAT insurance to the former individual rates.

Unless insurance companies are KILLED in favor of a national plan based on a sound socialistic model (Medicare for all), the insurance companies will continue to charge enough to earn whatever profits they want.

This is just a random example of how full of shit these guys are.


edit to change my inadvertent, unintended reference to nazism.

1. You really shouldn't put those two words together

In any form: "national socialistic"

[izquierdista]

3. Yes, put together, they mean "Republican".

[Zebedeo]

4. Nazionalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei

kinda left a bad legacy for the term "national socialist."

2. WHat use are tax breaks to people with no income?

I was mystified by that approach as it applies to the working class, poor and unemployed.
