Think about it….companies shop around for the best deal on insurance on behalf of their employees. They do this to keep the cost down. If the government offers lower cost health care than private insurers, just watch how fast companies don’t offer insurance anymore. This will improve the companies’ bottom lines. And private insurance will then basically have to go away because people, looking for the best deal, will buy into the government’s plan. Insurance companies can’t offer group pricing for health care when there is no one in the group. So, private insurance companies will not be able to compete. All this sounds OK so far, right? Lower cost health care for everyone! Wrong. First thing that will happen is the government will raise taxes to cover the expense of treating everyone. Even after raising taxes, when the gov’t figures out that they can’t afford to pay for every person that wants to be checked for a cold, or a sports injury, or needs a knee replaced, or bypass surgery, they will start finding ways to deny service. The UK already does this. They are denying smokers bypass surgery and overweight people hip and knee replacements claiming that their “lifestyle choices” are what created the need for treatment. The other side of this is that the government will start mandating how much it will pay for service. This will cause hospitals to lose income. And physicians, surgeons, anesthesiologists, etc. will all have to take pay cuts. People who wanted to be doctors may pick a different career path because of this. Doctors, lawyers, baseball players, football players etc. may get into their field because they love it, but they stay because they get paid enormous sums of money. So, while the messiah says that the government isn’t going to take away your option to keep your current health care, he’s not being totally honest. He knows that companies will dump the costs of healthcare leaving the employees with very few options, one of which is the government’s plan. And my prediction is that if that happens, if the only real option for health insurance is the government plan…it won’t be too long before the government passes a law that says you have to buy it. I’ll leave you with this thought…If a doctor has the opportunity to treat someone who will pay out of their pocket for care at a rate higher than the insurance would pay, don’t you think he’ll take that patient and put that patient in front of all other patients? (This happens in the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia.) So there’s another “new law opportunity” for Congress.

So, is the stimulus package working to help raise our economy out of the recession it’s been in? I don’t think so. What has happened to change the course of the recession is our President, Barack Hussein Obama has finally shut the hell up. All the Chicken Little, the sky is falling bunk that he and his administration was spewing was at best keeping the recession at the state it was in, but at worst made the recession worse than it was going to be.  Did you hear me?  The stimulus package did not slow nor stop the recession.  The recession turned around on it’s own.  Case to point, this document, based on a CBO study, states that only 25% of the stimulus money will be spent by the end of 2009.  It’s June 2009 right now.  It would be safe to say that not more than 12.5% of the stimulus money has been spent so far.  But the economy is turning around.  http://rutledgecapital.com/2009/06/03/how-much-of-the-stimulus-money-has-already-been-spent/

The next step is to write, call or fax your Senators and Congressmen and tell them to stop the rest of the stimulus payouts.  It is NOT needed.  All it do is drive us into debt that our children’s children will be paying off.  Use this link to find Congressional contact information.  http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml  You can use this to contact the President and Vice President as well, but I think that would be a waste of time, effort and resources.  Their track record has shown that they don’t care what the American people think/desire.

Each and every one of us is an indentured servant. We are indentured by our government. The biggest difference between Americans today and the indentured servants in Europe during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance is that those indentured servants actually had a specified term for their servitude (read: slavery). Americans don’t. Our government owns us. You don’t think so? You think I’m full of crap? Riiiigghht. You keep thinking that, Buckwalter! Imagine that you have paid off your house or you have a bare, unimproved piece of property that you own outright. Now, just let it sit there. When that property tax bill comes, just throw it away. Don’t pay it. When the next notice comes, ignore it. It won’t be very long before that government (that you think doesn’t own you and everything you have) will be putting a lien on your property, and then they’ll put it up for auction. If it’s unimproved land out in the middle of nowhere, you’re tax bill is probably $50 a year or some insignificant amount. But the government will take your land that is worth possibly hundreds or thousands of times the tax amount and sell it to the highest bidder (usually for less than the property is worth) to get that $50 that they TELL YOU they are ENTITLED to. Yeah…the government doesn’t own you and all your stuff. You keep thinking that.

Is there anything that you can do without being taxed by the government? I challenge you to respond to this post and inform me of what it is. By the way, if they tax it, fundamentally that means that you don’t own it. They LET you own it. 

Take a look at the link below.  When you read it, look at the industries that are swapping “help” for huge portions and control of those industries.  The government already owns the industries.  With these huge payouts, the government is paying hush money to these industries.  The money is being used to keep the industries quiet while the government takes overt control of them.  Time will tell whether our government will relent and let the industries appear to control themselves once again.

Now tell me, with all the BS conviction that you can, that the government doesn’t own EVERYTHING.  We have let our government get so big that we exist to feed the government machine.  We are supposed to control the government, but we are now letting the government control us.  WAKE UP, AMERICA!  Take care of yourself!  Quit looking to the government for everything.  Once we do that, we can roll back the insidious taxes and start living a more free life.  A life that doesn’t exist to support the government.

Excerpt

How many Americans can name one American hero from the war on terror?

During WWII and for years thereafter, I daresay virtually every American from school-age up knew of Audie Murphy and other war heroes. But while the [media] has spent incalculable resources informing Americans and the world about Abu Ghraib and Haditha, how often have [they] told us about the new generation of heroes among our people serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere?

This article is an interesting perspective on things….

(by David Gibberman, AmericanThinker.com) - Proponents of government-run health care like to point out that countries with such a system spend a smaller percentage of their gross domestic product on health care than the United States. What they don’t like to mention is how those savings are achieved. For example:

Patients Lose the Right To Decide What Treatment They’ll Receive. Instead, patients receive whatever care politicians and bureaucratic number crunchers decide is “cost effective.” Read more…

On his Monday evening talk show, Michael Savage — one of America’s most popular hosts — articulated an important truth: Barack Obama is a creation of a leftist media, to which we would add: Especially The New York Times.

Savage was commenting on a June 15 Gallup Poll which showed conservatives are now the single largest ideological group in the country.

According to Gallup, five months into the Obama administration — which The Times insists reflects the will of the American people — 40% of Americans call themselves conservatives, 35% moderates, and 21% liberal.

The radio personality, whose national audience exceeds 8 million, then asked the rhetorical question: If a plurality of Americans are conservative, why is there a “neo-Marxist in the White House” who’s successfully implementing a socialist agenda?

The answer, said Savage, is because we have a “neo-Marxist media.” This isn’t name-calling but an accurate assessment of what might be called a partnership in crime — Barack Obama and the mainstream media. Read more…

Some may have seen this already. It was sent to me and I thought it should be posted here and as many places as it can be. I’m not sure who the author is. First this was funny THEN you realize the awful truth of it.

The Tax Poem

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he’s fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule. Read more…
