Read it for yourself. Now, allow me to clarify.

This is yet another case where your government thinks it knows better than you. You don’t have the capability to act smartly or to make decisions on your own. So instead, the government is going to HELP you. You don’t have the common sense to know that a bag of chips has salt, so the government is goind to HELP you.

Vending machine owners, according to the proposed health care bill, will now be required to post nutritional information about each product in their vending machines. Isn’t this wonderful! you say. This can only be good for America, because now we know what we are eating.

Really? You didn’t know what you were eating already? How many times have you actually looked at the nutritional information on the back of a freaking Ding Dong? You mean to tell me that you are REALLY going to walk up to a vending machine with the hankering for a pop-tart, walk up, read that is has nothing healthy in it, and then you are going to walk away? You have to be kidding me!!??

My dear sheep do not be blinded by what is being sold to you as good intentions only to help you.

HERE IS THE CATCH: If you own less than 20 machines, you don’t have to do this. REALLY?! So you mean that if I only own 10 machines, then the Ding-Dongs in my machine are healthier than the Ding Dongs in a maching owned by someone who owns 50? Of course not? They both are just as unhealthy. BUT WAIT A MINUTE?! I thought the purpose of this new rule in the health bill was to SAVE ME from my own destruction! I thought mommey, I mean my government, was going to help me. So why are they letting owners with less than 20 machines get away with this?….

Here’s why….because if you own more than 20 machines, then that implies that you are probably a business owner, which means of course that you are ecil and must be stopped? How dare you waork hard to proved for your family and creat jobs so that others may do the same. Shame on you evil business owner. I bet you have money too evil business ocer. Money to buy fancy boats so the fancy boat makers can feed their families, money to buy a fancy car so the luxury car builders can feed their families. Evil rich buisiness owners. By the way, how many poor people out there create jobs? How many poor people have buisnesses that provide a service? How many of your family members and other loved ones work for a poor person? NOW YOU GET IT? We need rich people! That is the reality. They are the ones that hire us so we can proved a better standard of living for our families. So we can send our children to college! So we can provide a safe home over their heads. I tthank god everyday for rich people.

Back to the vending machines: this rule is an attempt to extors, steal, money from business. This is yet another ATTEMPT BY THE GOVERNMENT TO TAX PEOPLE!! And they are doing it under the DISGUISE OF PROTECTING YOU/ You see, they set the fines just at the right amount so that it is cheaper to pay the fine, then it is to comply with the law. So guess what? The business owners would rather pay the fine then change all of their machines. SO NOW, the government has found another wat to steal money from YOU and ME. Yes, YOU and ME. Because the cost of these fines will be passed down on you and I in the form of highrt prices.If the government was really doing this for YOUR HEALTH, it would make the fine so HIGH that ALL the businesses would want to comple. But the government knows that if all the businesses comply, THEN THE GOVERNMENT GETS NO EXTRA MONEY from fines. So instead, let’s make it an annual requirement to pay the fine, then we’ll have a constant flow of money.

Don’t believe me? Look at cigarettes.

This rule is an outright attack on free enterprise and the American dream.
My novel? Wow…all of that detailed information on our government and that is all you can say. I honestly believe that more of the questions on this webpage should be like this; extremely detailed and informational to the public about current issues. It is questions like these that allow people to become aware and think for themselves. The majority of the questions through here kill me. It is so sad to see what kind of people we have running our nation, voting for our leaders. It is so sick. Kudos to those of you who take this information seriously!
Okkay Happy Kid, good points. Now, my question to you is, If the people just want to see what they are eating is healthy or not, why is our government making it easier for vending machine owners to go with the fine option then the spending more money on posting nutritional information option? Why? Because the government knows that if the owners go with the option of posting nutritional information, the government gets no revenue. By the way the government is not fining the owners for breakiing the law they are giving the owners 2 options. 1) pay the fine or 2) post the nutritional information. Take your pick! But the posting the nutritional information is a lot more expensive…soooo go with paying the fine….its cheaper for you AND I, the government, get $$$$$$$$ out of it.
