The Death of Capitalism


Senator Harry Reid and his Socialist comrades managed to get the required 60 votes on the so called Health Reform Bill this Saturday to send the bill to the floor of the Senate for debate. In order to get the sixty, there were the usual back room deals – to include Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu’s 300 million dollar pork payoff to obtain her vote. This last minute rewrite is being referred to as the “Louisiana Purchase”. Other Democratic Senators have voiced concerns about not backing the bill as it is currently written. Perhaps Senators have found a new way to get even more pork projects for their home states – because they know they’ll need all the help they can get in next fall’s Mid Term elections.
So why are Harry and the gang having such a hard time getting this albatross crammed down our throats? Well, perhaps it’s just bad legislation. This economy killer is the first death nail the Democrats are hammering into Capitalism’s coffin. This bill has little to do with health care, but everything to do with redistribution of wealth – and that’s YOUR wealth. If this legislation becomes law, that’s exactly what will happen – your taxes are going up, and it doesn’t matter what your annual income. Your insurance premiums are going up, regardless of what your coverage. Remember the President’s pledge that if you like the coverage you have, you’ll be able to keep it. What a crock – sure you can keep it as long as you can afford to pay twice the premium you pay now. And for the first time in history, the federal government will require you to purchase health insurance – and if you don’t, you will become a criminal and be fined for violating the law.
Bottom line – this is about the President’s agenda to transform America into a Socialist country and punish those Americans who have become financially successful through hard work.
