Welcome to Chapter 15 in Tough Crowd! Today's subject is Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-NJ). **The footage of the town hall is broken up into 2 parts because it was so long @ the bottom of the post** Let me start this post by stating an important fact, this is the man who introduced the MacArthur amendment to the bill, aka the amendment that would do away with making sure everybody is fairly charged for health insurance. Yes, this post is about the jackass that introduced the change that helped the House pass the bill. On Wednesday, he held his town hall infront of hundreds of mostly Democrats (he should've known better and known what to expect) and the town hall went on to last for FIVE HOURS! He claims he purposefully made the decision to come to the prodominently Democratic portion of his district because he "owed it to the people" **Sir, you could've just went ahead and gone to the other side cause there's nothing in this world that you of all people could ever say to sway these people into believing this revised bill with YOUR amendment in it is a good thing! During the town hall, he said this which I found very interesting, "I hear people calling their congressman an idiot. I wonder, really wonder, how any one of you would perform in Congress." **Well since you asked, let me say I have no intention to ever be apart of Congress, but I am a person who's not greatly influenced by the actions and words of others, unlike yourself. I'm beyond positive that if anybody in that room ran against you they would win because they live a "normal" American life every single day, unlike yourself. They're more aware of how the decisions of those "in charge" impact the "regular" people's everyday lives. I have the utmost confidence that one of those people that you're questioning is going to take your seat in your upcoming election. He also said, he's "watching an insurance market that is collapsing." Of course this lead to boos and intense reactions from the crowd. Somebody in the crowd even shouted out, "Because you drilled holes in it!" **CLAPS FOR THIS PERSON! It's being destroyed and is collapsing because instead of making it better, you're making it worse! Again, Obamacare has been working for millions of Americans, they may not have appreciated what they had until this group of entitled white men came forward and showed them that they were serious about taking it away, but it's working, and instead of taking it away, it needs to be improved upon, you IDIOT. He was also questioned about how the bill will affect Medicaid, and he replied, "This isn't tax cuts for the rich. This is tax cuts for everybody." *We all know this is an outright lie because dozens of experts have already come out to say that because of this bill taxes would be raised for low income families. Outside the venue, dozen of protesters laid on the ground with tombstones during a "die-in." **People keep getting more and more creative with each town hall! Kudos to coming up with different and unique ways to getting your points across! Fun fact: MacArthur is 1 of only 2 Republicans in New Jersey that voted for this pile of garbage.
