A quick observation of the left's unraveling over the tea party. Why is it okay for the left to protest and not average, American taxpayers who are struggling to keep the country that they love? When the Pink Brigade protested against the War, they got to have their say. When the 9/11 Truthers wanted to and still do, blame President Bush for the attacks on that fateful day, they are allowed to have their say. However, grandmothers, stay at home moms, conservatives and others must remain silent because the liberals do not agree with their views. When did that become public norm?
Yesterday, at the Tea Party Express Rally in Troy, Michigan, there were Americans from every walk of life there to protest what can only be called the beginning of the end of American's Rights. There were old, young, white collar and blue collar workers standing together taking a stand against their government. One could describe it as a community effort, or dare it be said out loud, a community organizing together to bring about positive change. It may come to a surprise to the President, but he has inspired many people to do what he has done for years, protest and change the laws that do not benefit you or your community. The only difference here, these people are not looking for the handouts. Instead, these people are looking to smack the hand that are reaching into their pockets to take away their hard earned dollars.
Whatever the President or Congress wants to call their plan, Healthcare or Insurance Reform, it still comes out as another layer of government intruding on the private citizen. There are no logical plans on how the government is going to pay for this much less run the program. It's a knee jerk reaction to a small number of the populations who claim that they are victims of the health care industry. The true victims of the healthcare industry? The Consumer. For every person who walks into the Emergency room, demands treatment and can not pay the bill , there is another patient who is walking out the emergency room with a bill over thousands of dollars, and pays for it, either with aid for Health Insurance or a savings account. Both patients are treated, yet one pays for both of them. This is how hospitals cover the costs of taking care of patients. Raise the prices hoping that one person can pay in order to break even for the ones who can't. Is it fair? No, but taking care of patients takes a lot of money. Someone has to pay for it.
Where does this vicious circle end? Common sense tells us that the only person who truly cares for our well being is ourselves and loved ones. Insurance companies do not care about the health of their clients, there is always the bottom line to be more concerned about. If these companies do not create a profit, the shareholders will not longer invest in the company. Does this make all Insurance companies bad? No, they are providing a service. It is after all a business that needs to turn a profit in order to stay afloat. For those who are pro-Obamacare, it would be nice if they would consider one question. If the Insurance companies have to worry about the bottom line, why wouldn't a government run system have to worry about the same bottom line? The answer to that question is quite obvious. They do have to worry about the bottom line, which logically indicates that they will use tactics that the Health Insurance companies are being demonized for now. What makes this worse, is once the Government seizes control over healthcare, consumers will be forced to have it whether they want it or not, and there will be no recourse to demand better performance. When a company like Blue Cross messes up, a consumer has a right shop around to another company. This is called consumer options and control. When the government messes up, what options will the consumers have? Simple, none.
This all adds up to one dirty little secret that liberals don't want the rest of us to know. The best way to control a group is by taking away their security. Raising taxes on all fronts, energy, health, food, and recreation, reduces the spending power and options that Americans have. Once the populations can not afford any of these items, they turn to help from the source that has all the money and power. The Government. The Cap and Trade, Healthcare and Bailouts are just the beginning of the biggest grab of control by our Government. It's time for conservatives to start their own recycle and save the world program. Let's recycle every representative and Senator, all the way up to the President, and start over. This government needs to have the garbage thrown out. It's time to return to traditional, conservative values that have never failed this country. It's time to end the Obamination of our country.
