To whoever called in and said they want to bet that those who didn’t vote will scream the loudest when elected officials in the county and seven municipalities vote for something that they don’t like: well, it don’t matter whether you vote or not.

I’ve decided what I’m going to do about Obamacare. I’m going to pay the penalty and not get the insurance for the Affordable Care Act. Yes, I need insurance. But I can’t afford it. That’s why I don’t have insurance now. It’s kind of stupid, this whole thing. Penalty for the year: way cheaper than the monthly premiums for insurance. I want other people to think about it, too. Boycott the system. Maybe we could run this Affordable Care Act out of business. Don’t have nobody signing up, nobody in the system, the system breaks down.
