Heritage "If you knew a dangerous virus was about to hit America and that you could beg the government for a vaccine, you’d probably do it, wouldn’t you? That’s just what states and businesses alike are doing right now in preparation for Obamacare. But rather than seeking a vaccine, they’re asking for waivers from the law’s onerous requirements."
"...HHS bureaucrats know exactly what company’s application they are reviewing and whether they are union plans. This has arguably led to the disproportional acceptance of waiver application from large corporations and unions.

Townhall "Karl Marx kept a female slave from the time she was 8 years old, eventually using her not only as a servant but as his mistress, never acknowledging his child with her or paying her at all. She waited on him hand and foot while he explained to the world that profit is the stolen surplus value of the laborer.

Nealz Nuze "Herman Cain says, “The fact that I grew up in the segregated South and realize that we have gotten passed that is why I don’t harbor any anger toward this country, because one of the greatest things about America, even from its founding, is its ability to change.” He goes on to say, “People who want to focus on what was wrong with America are the ones who aren’t going to go very far in America.”"
