Healthcare Bill; What a Sad Day for America!
Monday, March 22, 2010 at 01:56PM Despite overwhelming evidence that they were acting against the will of the majority of the American people, a mere 220 people have opened the door to the path to single-payer, government-managed health care. Indeed putting the insurance companies out of business has been their goal all along. This is not about helping people, but about the beginnings of a managed society where the government is in total control over all our lives.
This 'historic' violation of the Constitution could not have been done without outrageous backroom deals, strong-arming of their own, secretiveness and exclusion of the minority, and flat out LIES about just what this bill will do to an already burgeoning debt and our right to control our own lives.
Rammed through on a Sunday night during lent, this bill will NOT improve the quality of your health care, will NOT save you or your employer money, and will NOT help reduce the deficit. It may NOT even improve your accessibility to care since so many doctors have threatened to quit, or students have promised not pursue medicine as a career, if passed.
One of the MOST frightening aspects of this is that the IRS, a division of the US Treasury Department, will now be in charge of overseeing your health insurance purchase and will have direct access to your bank account if you do not comply with the government's wishes.
At this very moment this administration is scheming to pass YET ANOTHER SPENDING BILL and a redistributive 'Global Poverty Act'!
There are 37 states trying to find ways to stop the Feds from requiring citizens to purchase insurance. Others say they will sue to challenge the constitutionality of the bill itself.

Since 1936, starting with SS, this has been the largest Ponzi scheme going. By 1965, those wonderful people you think care about you, found that with medical invention, you suckers were going to live past 65 and they had already spent your money. So what to do, OH GEE just develope another pyramid. THey called that Medicare. OH MAN, Now you suckers are living into your damn 80's and they spent all the money from Medicare. Well, lets try this one more time on these morons and VOILA. It worked except there is a big difference now. That little thing called the information age.
It does my heart good to know the first suit is being filed on the ROCKET DOCKET in Richmond, Virginia. Now little ones, open up your history books and see that Richmond was actually the first choice for the Capital of the US. OH HOW THINGS COME FULL CIRCLE.
Great comments. You have added a lot to the sum of human knowledge.
Just an aside, and it doesn't temper the main thrust of your argument, but Philadelphia was the nation's first capital, not Richmond. Oh, and the US district court of eastern Virginia was called the "rocket docket" back in the 1960's. Uh, and Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme. But other than that, you're spot on I am sure.
Oh you are absolutely right except on one thing. SS was a ponzi scheme when it started and still is EXCEPT THE PYRAMID HAS COLLAPSED. Peope in the US did not want it BUT UNFORTUNATELY only had a radio and their family a friends to bitch to. Now, communication can be done in a millisecond. The only reason people want their SS and Medicare now is because you PAID FOR IT SO GET YOUR MONEY BACK AT LEASTE!!!!Oh and the one thing that does do my heart good in this bill is that even those people that get their refunds back , which I always chuckle at that anybody would let the government use their money all year without paying them one dime, ARE GOING TO HAVE THE IRS BREATHING DOWN THEIR NECKS ALONG WITH THE REST OF US.
Just one more thing, the government runs the VA. Those are the people that gave up their health and lives for your freedoms. Look what they have done to those men and women with THEIR SO CALLED HEALTH CARE. So please don't make the mistake that they give two craps about you.
"A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that involves the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often solicit new investors by promising to invest funds in opportunities claimed to generate high returns with little or no risk. In many Ponzi schemes, the fraudsters focus on attracting new money to make promised payments to earlier-stage investors and to use for personal expenses, instead of engaging in any legitimate investment activity."
Nobody claims that FICA taxes are invested in anything with a high return. The source of funds is transparent, as is the way it is dispersed. Perhaps what you are trying to say is "Social security as currently structured is paying out more to the average recipient than it takes in from him, due somwhat to poorly thought out benefit plans but mainly to the fact that Americans live longer today than they did 75 years go". This is not sustainable, and changes either to the tax rate, the retirement age, or means testing, or all 3 will need to be done.
A small word of advice: communicating by typing ALL CAPS makes you look SILLY and INTEMPERATE which I am sure is far from the case. Arguments don't get BETTER OR TRUER when they ARE WRIITEN in ALL CAPS.
I AM SILLY AND IMTEMPERATE. THAT IS WHAT HAS MADE LIFE SO FUN. The next thing you will be asking me to do is make sure I indent five spaces before a paragraph. We will continue right from SEC , OH THEY ARE AN HONEST GROUP, description.
" A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that involves the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors. " The existing investors are the people who put into SS and the funds contributed are from new workers.
"Ponzi scheme organizers often solicit new investors by promising to invest funds in opportunities claimed to generate high returns with little or no risk."
I so wish they would solicit instead of having it as a law. The government did give the promise that SS was going to be your savings for as long as you lived. Now, that is higher returns with NO RISK. You only need to work so many quarters and then the rest is FREE.
" In many Ponzi schemes, the fraudsters focus on attracting new money to make promised payments to earlier-stage investors and to use for personal expenses, instead of engaging in any legitimate investment activity."
EXCUSE ME, the fraudsters have a law which they just take your money and the earlier-stage investors are being paid. You aren't actually sitting in an easy chair thinking people in Congress have not used money for personal expenses? Oh I can name you so many Congressmen who have been caught at the Mayflower with call girls. In fact, didn't one of the Speakers lose their seat years ago from that? And I suppose you think Hastings is a real great upstanding guy.
Always typing in small letters makes you look like you never took any chances in life. Did you?
Please answer this one question DO YOU THINK THE VA IS GREAT HEALTH CARE FROM THE GOVERNMENT?
