If Obamacare gets passed how much power does the government really have?


The author of this article The Right Side of Austin Blog is trying to appeal his main audience of republicans. As well as maybe trying to swing some of the Independent people towards the republican side. I think that it is very clear that the author is trying to appeal to the republicans. I mean the blog is called “The Right Side of Austin.” The author’s name is Jonathon McClellan and he has even worked for many political campaigns, also for some state officials. It is very obvious that the author is credible and knows what he talks about. The blog is claiming that if Obama’s health care plan gets passed, their is no limit on how much the government can regulate. At the end of the article James Johnson said, “If the government can make us buy health care insurance against our will, there is nothing to stop them from mandating purchase of a firearm.” The author of this blog McClellan is using James Johnson’s letter for a source of evidence to back up his claim. It works well because it really makes you think about what all the government could make happen if they truly wanted too. Thats where McClellan shows his logic in making you think and want to agree with his statement. I agree with this blog for the most part, but I do think that the Obama care is not all that bad of a deal as people make it. This blog made me really debate on some of my thoughts of the government though.
