17. Mandate is a back-door payroll tax payable to Wall Street, since they didn't get privatized Social S...
What do insurance companies do with the $ clients pay? They invest it. The market is not so great so they are not doing as well. And Wall Street needs more $ to hold up the ponzi scheme.

They failed to trick Joe Voter into letting them have some of the Social Security with held from wage earners, so the scheme needed influx of cash.

The whole HCR was just a cover for making wage earners pay Wall Street, by way of laundering the $ through Big Insurance.

The middle class will have to put on shackles and join the working poor in more direct and observable servitude to the corporations. The government being the instrument that makes it so also makes it qualify for Mussolini's definition of fascism.

DEM pols who enabled this American march to serfdom might ponder the fate ot Mussolini.
