Do that way and one of the things i wrote down that wasnt in my campaign, but as i took office, my major job was to spend money. Not to save money. But to spend money, but to spend it in the right way. And then as i analyzed and had when i was on the counsel, the very negative funding for us is property tax. If you raise property tax they want to hang you by the nearest tree. If theres not a tree, theyll just run over you with their pick up truck either way. But you dont mess with property tax, so i got our city out of the property tax business. We fund our city basically by two sources. Sales tax and eweutility franchise and when you do that, people dont care where you spend money. As long as you dont raise their taxes, they are fine and we raise the taxes by good, Economic Growth that ill talk about in a minute and so, that is where we have come from and that is a that has allowed me to do that in that way. Philosophically for my goals my overarching goal or principle is if it doesnt
Only 16 states run their own exchanges. The federal government runs extend his for the remaining 34 states that opted out of setting up their own. The court is expected to rule on the case before the end of the term in june. This is an hour and 20 minutes. Well hear arguments this morning in case 14114, king v. Burwell. Mr. Carvin. Mr. Chief justice, and may it please the court, this is a straightforward case of statutory construction where the plain language of the statute dictates the result. Mr. Carvin, will you please back up, because before we get to a question of statutory construction, as you know, each plaintiff, or at least one plaintiff, has to have a concrete stake in these questions. They cant put them as ideological questions. And we have as four plaintiffs. As to two of them, there is a declaration stating i am not eligible for Health Insurance from the government, but theres a question of whether they are veterans eligible for coverage as veterans. Yes. One of those is m
Justice, youve got to make sure that youre also taking advantage of the opportunities that you currently have. But that brings me to one last piece of advice for young people, and that is, think about more than just yourself. [applause] think about how you can have an impact beyond yourself. The people who i know who are really happy and successful as they get older, its because they have an impact on something other than just their own situation. Theyre not just thinking about how do i get mine. [applause] theyre thinking about how does everybody get their fair share. And when they do that, that gives meaning to your life; that gives purpose to your life; that gives you influence and a sense of purpose. And youve got to have a sense of purpose beyond just the almighty dollar. I mean, look, we live in a free market society, and one of the things that sets america apart is business and entrepreneurship and hustle, and folks are out there just theyre trying to make a new product or creat
Analyzed into an thousand 15 there will be an increase in rural areas. Analyze in 2015, there will be an increase in verbal areas. But it is much more of a problem in rural areas. Thank you.

Is the federal government wants to offer encourage employers to offer Health Insurance to employees, why would include the cadillac tax under the aca . What is the harm of offering coverage exceeding 20 20,500 per family . Employment coverage is also benefited from beneficial tax treatment in the sense that employers pay toward coverage on behalf of workers and it is not included in worker income and the amount that workers pay through payroll deductions. That reduces their taxable income. The concern is that because one dollar of Health Insurance is not subject to taxes and dollar wages is, workers prefer Health Insurance over wages to some degree or increases in com
Legislature can do, which Means Congress can also give this power to the commission. The only difference between my friends scenario and mine is that in my friends scenario the state legislature would retain the authority to override what the commission has done but that is always the consequence of state legislation over federal legislation. Its not something that a state legislature can override and it is simply a consequence of congress superseding authority and congress authority under the elections clause. Scalia the second clause is being used to revise the first clause. That is what we are talking about. The second clause can congress can do something on its own. But can congress use the second clause to revise what the first clause says . Feigin one thing i want to emphasize is i think the court settle this issue in hildebrandt when it said it was simply doing something that the constitution expressly gave the right to do. I dont think the right way to think about this is congr
