Modestly, yes, but it did not tank.

I guess America's capitalists really aren't as concerned about "SOCIALISM!"
as the ignorant hillbilly scum waving racist signs. What a surprise.

America is about to join the rest of the civilized world when it comes to
healthcare. How painful that is for the terminally ignorant.

Not only did it go up but it was Health Care companies that led the
way.

On Intrade Prediction Markets the chance of the Democrats holding on
to control of the House went up 2% to 54.5%. By the time November
rolls around and the fear preaching Repugnants are shown to be liars
and idiots they will be pummeled again for the third election in a
row.

I wish we were actually joining the rest of the world. For me, the problem
is that we aren't.

I would have supported something like what Canada has, but instead we're
getting some weird hybrid that seems to protect the insurance industry.

It lets them charge what they want and makes us have to have insurance, and
subsidizes those who can't pay for it.

that all the traditional indictors about the health of market capitalism
have taken a big collective yawn at healthcare reform...as opposed to
America's Losers, the two generations (at most) away from pure white trash

Tvc15, I am the first black man to own and operate a major Las Vegas casino,
and I employ hundreds of people, three of which are also black. What do you
think this healthcare bill is going to cost my operation? Add this to the
already present downturn in tourism in our area, and I may have to start
making layoffs. Is this what you call "helping" people? So far I have
resisted layoffs at my place, while my major competitors, Harrah's and Wynn,
have been making major cutbacks. Please explain why my blackjack dealers
will not be bringing home that 15-lb turkey for Christmas this year that has
been a tradition at my casino ever since I took over. Explain why there
will be less gifts under the Christmas tree for the children of my cocktail
waitresses. So please, stop yours fabrications of the truth.

Sorry Paul. It’s too late to argue the merits now. You’re first
instinct was right. When you have no logical point of view the best
thing to do is just call someone ‘moron’ and click send. Even your
debate hero (Travel) occasionally can’t think of anything else to do.
I know that each time someone calls me retarded or moron (or other
mean names) my feelings are hurt for days. boo hoo.

Otherwise, congratulations on being a black guy with a casino who

Hey, Popinjay.
Not that I would want to hijack this informative and important thread
on nuthin' <I'm lying>.

Have you ever listened to Mark Levin?
He's kind of a Michael Savage with a law degree and a knowledge of
Marxism, without the ADD of Savage.

He is the author of the best selling "Tyranny and Liberty" which
describes the end result of what we will get via the
Progressives/Liberals/Leftists/Marxists/Commies we now have running
the country.

http://www.marklevinshow.com/sectional.asp?id=32930

For anyone missing his explanations of what is now happening, the
audio from 3/22 and 3/23 is worth a listen.

I'll bet the guy knows more about Commies than even you do.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
///////////////// WARNING !! //////////

Democrats and Liberals with high blood pressure are advised not to
listen to any one audio for too long at one time.
In severe cases it could cause your head to explode.

Excellent book. Especially the attention to detail in the chapter on the
origin of the CFR.

By the way, Turbotard, it's "Liberty and Tyranny".

not according to this article about Don H Barden, the owner of Fitzgeralds

http://www.answers.com/topic/don-h-barden

" Barden Became First African American Casino Owner in Las Vegas

In 2002 Barden took possession of the Fitzgeralds casinos. One was based
in Tunica, Mississippi, another in Black Hawk, Colorado, and the third in
downtown Las Vegas. With the Las Vegas casino Barden became the city's
first African American casino owner."

Ok, let me clarify. If you want to nitpick, then you have me on a
technicality. What I should have said was "the Las Vegas area", not "Las
Vegas". My place is actually in Henderson, but the dividing line between
Henderson and Las Vegas is within walking distance. I was working as a
restroom attendant in the casino years before Barden came on the scene.
Through hard work and diligence, I worked my way all the way up to General
Manager, and then eventually bought out the former owners, Salvatori and
Cohen. So you see, Abbey, I don't want to take any due credit away from
Barden, but I am actually the first African American Casino owner in the Las
Vegas AREA.
