Colorado to vote on single payer in '16

[MAP]

This was proposed a few tears ago. IIRC, the state income tax would nearly triple to pay for it.

Yeap, if that shit passes, I'll be out one way or the other.

Guess it's time to do some research in the upcoming months.

Vote NO.

I find it odd that this has never made any mainstream news outlet ... I google the story and its mostly sites that make the Daily Kos look like a respectable and unbiased source for real Journalism. There's one brief mention on Denver Post and Durango Herald but the rest of the sites are sites like "occupydemocrats" and other way left sites.

Is the MSM ignoring it to prevent a backlash against it? Or does this really not have a snowball's chance in hell?


Look, if these loonies (and the pot heads) can get enough signatures to put this bovine scat on the ballot, why is it that us gun owners can't get our shit together to put a repeal of the stupid gun laws on the ballot?

Wasn't this the plan all along. Seems to be happening right on schedule. By next summer half the country should be in chaos. Just in time to elect more socialism to fix all our problems.

Remember when only conspiracy folks believed that the government was listening in on all our conversations?
Remember when only conspiracy folks believed the gov. was manipulating and tracking firearm sales?
Remember when only conspiracy folks believed ( i could go on, but you get the point.)

It really kinda sucks when the tin foil folks are proven right. Right now its still a kooky idea that they are seeking to crash the system and rebuild it into a socialist paradise. Still crazy to believe that what they would really love is the country to be in such chaos that they could just go ahead and suspend elections, (just for a little while). Imagine what conspiracy theory might be proven true next.

Remember kiddos "ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL. But some animals are just more equal than others."

According to the text of the bill, income tax would be up to 2.1% (really only 1.2% in practice)

So, what part of Idaho?

The largest exchange carrier going tits up is a clear indication how solvent a public option would be. That was with federal funding. I can't imagine the taxes without federal funding. The Denver metro already has a high cost of living with housing and all.

When/if they put it on the ballot, I believe there is a law that forces them to disclose the projected costs. Not that they would tell the truth but the "against" interests have an opportunity to put numbers out there.

And this is happening as employees are getting notices of higher premium deductions and some companies are reducing benefits to avoid the dreaded Cadillac Tax.

So the net result of this is "pay more taxes and continue paying more for your own policy/deductible while getting less each year."

Well when we were looking to relocate away from Wichita, Boise was in the running along with Colorado Springs and Santa Fe ... we nixed Santa Fe because of high cost of living and too damn many libtards and we nixed Boise because of the 2 day drive every Thanksgiving to Wichita.

If we leave, Boise is high on the list (along with Rapid City SD and Salt Lake City UT)
