WEEKLY THOUGHTS:

You have been

duped by your

own foolishness.

 

The single greatest instance of intellectual foolishness today is the continuing pretense that politicians are serious people worthy of serious consideration.  They are scoundrels, each and every one, regardless of party (although some of them, it is true, are more scoundrelly than others).  For any scholar to pretend that these people are disinterested servants of the public welfare - to pretend that the words politicians utter or send out in press releases are meant to promote any goal other than politicians' own glorification and pursuit of power - is for that scholar to be duped to a degree that should be more embarrassing than would be the discovery that the scholar believes the earth to be flat or that Big Foot was in league with Lee Harvey Oswald to murder JFK.

REPUBLICAN HEALTH CARE PLAN

 

Looking at the summary of the Republican Health Care Plan one can see that the Republicans also do not understand Freedom. Item by item they are just continuing the thinking that government is there to FIX things, which means meddling with our Freedom and diminishing it with every action. The following are the bullets in their summary on the internet:

 

Lowering health care premiums.   It is not in the Federal power nor is it their job to meddle in commerce.

 

Establishing Universal Access Programs to guarantee address to affordable health care for those with pre-existing conditions.   Same answer.

 

Ending junk lawsuits.   Again this is not a Federal power nor any of their business. These are civil matters between the parties.

 

Prevents insurers from unjustly cancelling a policy.   Not in the Federal power nor their job to meddle in commerce. These are civil matters that are between the parties and for the market to decide.

 

Encouraging Small Business Health Plans.   Generally in government encouraging means forcing. Still not a Federal job. The tyranny of the Income Tax and the refusal of congress to allow deductions is the reasoning behind this. A better solution is eliminate the IRS Code and the Income Tax altogether.

 

Encouraging innovative state programs.   Again encouraging means more government intervention and force.

 

Allowing Americans to buy insurance across state lines.   This intrudes on states rights and should be handled better in the marketplace.

 

Promoting healthier life styles.    What does this mean? Future government intrusion? This is not a Federal job.  Don't let them open this door.

 

Enhancing Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).    Again this is because congress still wants to control our earning by keeping the EVIL Income Tax.  Better handled by eliminating the Income Tax and replacing it with a Consumption Tax (temporarily, until we can eliminate 90% of that).

 

Allowing dependents to remain on their parents�s policies.    Who controls this?  This is a market activity. This also encourages the dependents to hang onto Mom and Dad when they should be taking care of themselves.

 

Freedom will never be achieved as long as any amount of Federal involvement is allowed into personal lives. The least hint of their intrusion, whether it looks good or bad is an erosion of Freedom.  In order to have Freedom it takes each individual to take responsibility for his or her life and not rely on anyone else, especially government.  We have seen where that leads. What ever makes anyone believe that he or she can get any type of government to limit its tyranny to only those tyrannies that one agrees with or desires.  Every effort should be made to show the Republicans that they will become the target of the Tea Parties wrath if they try to vote for any type of health care.  Any type of government (which means force) health care is a tyranny on those innocent people who do not want intrusion of any description by government.  The Constitution was written to guarantee that protection, as long as it is not corrupted.  Each Republican who encourages government run or authorized or controlled or any other excuse should be condemned and replaced by a REAL FREEDOM FIGHTER.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  Freedom is one of those words like pregnant.  You either are or you are not.  One should look inward at one's self to see if one is part of the problem. There are no permanently small tyrannies, they will always grow. Congress, and other government employees will guarantee that.  Either they FOCUS ON FREEDOM or they need to be replaced.
