I just hung up from being blindsided by a Tea-Party loving "friend" - I'm speechless, shocked.

118. Here's point by point response.

Her tax dollars help KY people on welfare get "free Obama" phones with 500 minutes. Once they blow through the 500 minutes "all they have to do is apply for a new one and get it"

Reply: I like how Tea baggers scream about Obamaphones from their $10,000 government-paid Hover Rounds.

Her tax dollars help the governments programs that keep lazy people having babies and from getting jobs and supporting themselves. (she doesn't care that these folks are a small population)

Reply: The GOP has actually increased illegitimate birth rates by closing family planning clinics and ending free contraceptive services and products. The GOP has voted down at least a dozen jobs bills since Obama got elected, many for poor people.

Her tax dollars pay for government programs that let illegal immigrants not have to show ANY ID in order to get their kids enrolled in Lexington KY public schools. She had to overnight at her cost a new copy of her SS card otherwise the school her older children were attending would not enroll her kindergartner. Yet, standing at the desk was an illegal who didn't have to

Reply: Illegal immigration exploded under Bush and it is now decreased so much there is a negative illegal immigration to the US under Obama.

Why should she have to pay for people to have "free" health insurance. Why don't they get out and work like she does. Why should she have to "have" health insurance. It's a free country. I told her she had to have car insurance then she said only people with cars have to have car insurance....I said well humans need to live and need health care. She said she didn't want to pay for it.

Reply: Would she rather have them use the ER health care which is 4 times more expensive than Obamacare health care? ER health care explains why America spends twice as much on health care as other developed countries.

And millions of people with pre-existing conditions who are now trapped in their jobs health insurance will be able to quit to start their own small business and be able to get and/or afford health insurance because of Obamacare. This will lead to an entrepreneurial rennaissance in America and more jobs as small business employs the most people in America. .

I don't know. Maybe you guys are right. I should give up on her.
