Guys, they teach the craft of deceptive rhetoric in law school; RickA has a law degree…

RickA isn’t very good at deceptive rhetoric. Nobody is fooled, after all.

Ever since he was five when he tried to convince his mommy that he didn’t break that cookie jar — and she bought it…

No – I did not lie.

When I read what Greg wrote, I read it as saying that no one had to pay the fine who couldn’t afford to buy the insurance.

First, I didn’t understand that Greg was referring to an exemption to the fine which was levied.

So I clarified my comment.

I still do not agree that every person who cannot afford the insurance will be granted an exemption.

At most you could argue I was wrong – but I certainly had no intent to deceive.

But think what you want.

I am happy to let the lurkers read the thread and decide for themselves if I lied or not.

Ricka: “My source was: http://obamacarefacts.com/obamacare-individual-mandate/ Yes, you can apply for an exemption.”

So are you admitting now that when you wrote that your research told you the fee is mandatory regardless of ability to pay, you lied?

Obstreperous Applesauce: “I notice that RickA didn’t cite his “research.” Seems intentional; very authoritarian, very convenient, very Trumpian.”

It takes almost 15 seconds to find the fee exemption form on-line; it takes almost 30 seconds to learn if one must pay the fee or not. This must have been much too hard for Ricka to accomplish.

Ricka: “My research shows you do have to pay a fine, no matter your ability to pay.”
