The ruling political class from both parties have pushed us just a wee bit too far in the past year with the out of control spending for favored constituents. And since I clearly have to spell it out for you - that includes the spending from the Bush administration. <br /><br />Funny how you were screeching about the spending then, but now that Obama and Co have quadrupled it you find it just dandy.<br /><br />You are also kidding yourself if you don't think that ACORN, the SEIU, MoveOn, Tides, and the other Progressive and Soros-bots don't have a trunk full of cash that they are spending in Washington and around the country every day. <br /><br />As Dad has stated more than once, We The People are getting very close to taking that paragraph in the Declaration of Independence seriously - you know the one that states "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it". We believe that government has way over-stepped its constitutional authority on a multitude of levels and must be trimmed back to where it belongs. <br /><br />"When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson<br /><br />We are buying ammo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-59613019153002137752009-07-31T21:45:13.666-05:002009-07-31T21:45:13.666-05:00Sorry dad.

Talk about throwing the proverbial baby with the bathwater.<br /><br />Now Prince Harry Waxman has stated forcefully that Congress does NOT have to go on ANY program that they force on the rest of us. Prince Dodd can get special "courtesy" rates on mortgages. Princess Feinstein can benefit from insider and influence peddling with the FDIC to get her hubby a great gig refi-ing forclosures. Princess Pelosi and former Prince Gore can personally benefit to the tune of millions from the very legislation they are pushing. Princes Rangel, Geitner, Daschle, et al that feel that only the little people should have to actually pay their taxes. <br /><br />Somehow, those are the pictures in my head when I think of evil rich people. Not the CEOs of the companies that employee tens of thousand, produce a product that 80% are pretty happy with, and that (and their employees) actually contribute to society.<br /><br />No matter what Obama, Reid, and Pelosi say right now, we know they are lying. Same goes for NY/DC corridor R's. They don't give a flying frito about any of the peasants. Only about keeping their own base of power in their elite bubble. <br /><br />Those that have been silent will be silent no more!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-47015804875377608462009-07-31T16:56:48.651-05:002009-07-31T16:56:48.651-05:00Not carrying about insurance workers?

You people seem to have no problem with millions of jobs being exported because of free trade. <br /><br />We bust this private insurance racket which has sapped profits from all the other companies in this country and there will be plenty of jobs for those 20,000.<br /><br />Polling shows that a majority of people if give the opportunity would dump private health insurance if given the chance.<br /><br />As one liberal talk show host put it in St. Louis, for the insurance companies you all are useful idiots.<br /><br />Government raises taxes a few bucks and you squeal like stuck pigs. Health insurance raise premiums by double digits, not a peep.<br /><br />My form of capitalism are companies making and doing things people need.

People like HIM - and their families - will be punished, too.

Can you ever play straight?<br /><br />The question still stands. What does private health insurance bring to heath care in America? At least the Teamsters get to vote for their management. No doubt there will be lies and distortions to follow.<br /><br />Let's weep bitter tears for the abuse of these people, based on 2008 figures:<br /><br />Ron Williams - Aetna / Total Compensation: $24,300,112<br /><br />H. Edward Hanway - CIGNA / Total Compensation: $12,236,740<br /><br />Angela Braly - WellPoint / Total Compensation: $9,844,212<br /><br />Dale Wolf - Coventry Health Care / Total Compensation: $9,047,469<br /><br />And the list goes on.<br /><br />When Clinton went after health care reform, 95% off insurance premiums went to paying claims. Now it is 80%. Where do you think that money went?Keith Schmitzhttp://www.folkbum.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-42098884321107961512009-07-31T09:59:22.425-05:002009-07-31T09:59:22.425-05:00Greedy Insurance.
