Social Security and Medicare Are Socialized Charities

The problem with social security and Medicare is that its socialized charity. People on average draw far more out of both than they ever put in, due to rising HC costs and extended life expentency. The sooner we ditch both, the sooner we can return to a sane free market.

I'm still old enough to remember that we used to have insurance only for hopitalization and major surgery. Now you need it to make an appointment with a doctor without going to an ER. Just when in the hell did that happen? We used to be able to afford routine care on a cash basis, until States started requiring insurance companies to cover everything from abortion pills to viagra.

Since the consumer doesn't pay directly, costs have gone out of control, and insurance premuims are bankrupting us. The only ones getting rich are big pharma and insurance companies that made the deal with the Devil, Obama, Reid, and Pelosi. These companies are shearing us like sheep now on the national level, thanks to Obama.

Heres what we do:

1. Repeal Obamacare (and Romneycare) and allow competition between States to buy insurance in any package the consumer wants or can afford.
2. Allow consumers to purchase drugs/prescriptions from any country.
3. Pass rational tort reform so scum sucking ambulance chasers don't add to overhead.
4. Enforce our immigration laws, to remove illegals and discourage others from using our health care system on a pro bono basis.
5. Start moving younger people out of Government run SS and Medicare using generous tax free deductions to IRAs, 401Ks, and Health Savings Accounts.
6. Instead of teaching how to put on a condom, schools need to teach finance and money management and how to save for their future and retirement. In my experience, people learn this to late in life to make much of a difference. We should be a nation of savers and investors, and that is what we should teach our children again....instead of communism.

Fight or Die


Not unexpected, that Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska was finally bought off by one of Harry Reid's backroom deals. These Democrat assclowns are getting ready to change our healthcare delivery system without even reading the bill. They are not Statesmen, but a corrupt gaggle of wheelers and dealers who hide from us the fruits of their evil labor.

Folks, this is it. We have to take a stand now. There won't be time to do it later. The Socialists are succeeding in taking over our banks, auto industry, and now the healthcare system. They are also moving rapidly to take over energy companies under the guise of the climate change hoax (Cap and Trade). Its time for all Patriots to stand against the rise of Government tyranny.

Lets raise flags of defiance to boldly fly in the face of these damn Socialists. These bastards are busily strangling our free Republic. We must resist with all urgency, there is no time to waste. Light the torches, build the parapits, dig the trenches, fix bayonets, and brace yourselves for the fight of a lifetime. The Socialists are behind the wire. Now is the time...now before its too late.

The grand experiment in freedom, the light of the world, our American Republic, is in grave danger. Ride to the sound of gunfire. Let the enemies of freedom tremble at our approach.

The Government is not Supposed to Run the Economy

I think some folks need to take a civics course in American government.The Government does not control the economy. The government is supposed to regulate commerce, not create it. How in the world can any American citizen believe, under the American system of Government, that Government should create jobs or wealth?

In 1918, the Bolsheviks took over the Russian monarchy and created a so-called workers paradise. In the Soviet Union, the Government did run the economy. The Soviet Government decided how resources were spent, determined what crops would be planted, what products would be manufactured, and how many workers would be needed to produce those goods and services, what those products should cost, and what the workers should be paid to produce them. The Soviet Government also decided where you lived, where you worked, and what level of education you needed to do those jobs, and determined what rationed benefits you should have. It was a dreary economic system, that provided few choices, and generated none of prosperity that we in the West enjoy (or take for granted today). That system collapsed under its own weight, and the GNP (amount of production) could not match the outlay of Government spending. That’s where this country is heading if we don’t stop our current government from the reckless spending they’re currently engaged under this new budget.

If the public wants jobs and a better economy, the voting booth is not the place to get them…unless you’re talking about getting Government out of the markets so the prosperity that free enterprise creates can do its thing. The government needs to regulate, but it can’t create jobs without taking over the economy (like the Soviet Union did, or China, or nationalize industries like what’s going on in Venezuela today). The path to jobs is pursuing education, starting businesses, and taking risks. The Government cannot do that for us. The Government cannot make people go into business, the Government cannot make people provide jobs, the Government cannot make people work.

If you are demanding Government create jobs and wealth, then you are of the same mindset of the Soviet Bolsheviks of 1918. That is not the way our system works, nor should it. We live in a free country. You’re free to pursue any kind of education you want, go into any business you want, move anywhere in the country you want, have any kind of job your able to secure, and make any amount of money your ability will allow. We don’t want Government to make those decisions for us. Freedom brings with it responsibility and risk, but the alternative is much worse. So, I only wish the Obongos (bong inhaling Obama supporters) would stop the endless whining and get off their asses and do something about their own situation rather than waiting on the Government to do something. It reminds me of the Katrina survivors that didn’t have the good sense, after numerous warnings, to get out of the path of a major hurricane. Instead, they ended up on their rooftops waving signs to Government helicopters to rescue them. Man, I am sick of this type of irresponsibility. It is absolutely pathetic and uncharacteristic of America or Americans.
