Business Applauds Judge Striking Down Obamacare

A federal judge in Florida has ruled the extremely controversial forcing of healthcare on the American people by Obama, as unconstitutional, which resulted in applause from a number of quarters, including the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), which represents small business interests in America.

Karen Harned, the NFIB's executive director, said in a statement, "NFIB joined this case to protect the rights of small-business owners ... The individual mandate, which forces citizens to purchase government approved health insurance, undermines this core principle and gives the federal government entirely too much power."

Also supporting the decision by the federal judge was Republican House Speaker and majority leader John Boehner, who said, "Today's decision affirms the view, held by most of the states and a majority of the American people, that the federal government should not be in the business of forcing you to buy health insurance and punishing you if you don't."

This particular case if are more important than any before it, as over half the U.S. States were plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

States that were plaintiffs in the lawsuit included Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Iowa, Ohio, Kansas, Maine, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

The vast majority of American continue to oppose the imposition of forced healthcare upon them, and want the law repealed.

At specific issue in this case was what has come to be identified as an individual mandate, which forces Americans to acquire healthcare by 2014 or be required to pay a penalty.

Vinson said on that count, "Regardless of how laudable its attempts may have been to accomplish these goals in passing the act, Congress must operate within the bounds established by the Constitution."

The U.S. House of Representatives voted in January to repeal the healthcare reform law, one of the major reasons they were swept into office in unprecedented levels. That and the endless spending by the Obama administration were two of the major catalysts, although there were many others.

Growing expectations are the healthcare law will finally be decided by the Supreme Court as to whether or not it's constitutional.

Democrat Attack on Gold, Glenn Beck, Goldline Continues

After the Democrats snuck the provision for gold coin dealers to have to provide a 1099 for every investors they acquire over $600 in gold from, it was only a matter of time before the upped their attacks on the alternative investment and currency, and that has come in their ferocious and unwarranted attack on Glenn Beck and Goldline, through the investigation of alleged "sales tactics" which are evidently too aggressive for Democrats' tastes.

How this requires an investigation is so dubious you have to dig some before you find out that the person leading the probe of Beck and Goldline is an Obama campaign contributor - Adam Radinsky.

Another Democrat, of course from New York, Anthony Weiner, has been leading the questioning and assertions concerning Beck and Goldline.

What is the big deal about? This horrible company is encouraging customers to acquire gold coins rather than gold bullion. Really! That's it.

A tiny group of customers alleged they were "coaxed" into buying coins instead of bullion, which have been harder to sell at a profit. There's not one thing in the world someone couldn't say the same thing about, so this is a non-story created by the Democrats because of their hatred of Beck.

What company in the world doesn't attempt to sell their more profitable products, which gold coins definitely are. But bullion has a lot of risks, due to its size, and the fact of how much it would cost, which the average person obviously couldn't afford.

Gold coins are recommended, for the most part, by most in the gold industry, and their portability and lower costs are a major reason for that. How that gets turned into an investigation is beyond the scope of a healthy human being and the way they think.

Democrats, who own the health bill, also hid a provision to force gold coin dealers to have to provide a 1099 for each person they pay over $600 to for gold they acquire. That will devastate many of the small business owners dealing in gold because of the shear volume of paperwork required.

Gold continues to expose the policies of the governments and central banks around the world as crooked and devastating to the value of the currency. This is why they act stupid and clueless when people ask them questions as to why gold prices are going up.
