ABC TV Destroys Obama Health Care Plan

ABC's John Stossel Destroys/Pulverizes/Crushes Obama's anti-American 'Health Care' Plan

Dear Congress

Dear 535 voting members of the Legislature:

It is now official: You are all morons.

The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You've had 234 years to get it right; it's broke.

Social Security was established in 1935. You've had 74 years to get it right; it's broke.

Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You've had 71 years to get it right; it's broke.

The War on Poverty started in 1964. You've had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor." It hasn't worked.

Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You've had 44 years to get it right. They're broke.

Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You've had 39 years to get it right; it's broke.

Almost $1,000,000,000,000 ($1 TRILLION!) in the massive political payoff called the TARP Bill of 2009. It's not working.

Now to set a new record:

"Cash for Clunkers": established in 2009 and went broke in 2009! This program took good, dependable cars -- that were the best some people could afford -- and replaced them with high-priced, mostly Japanese and Korean models. That means a good percentage of the profits, and our tax dollars, went out of the country. And who bought the cars? Mostly people who owned an older car free and clear, but couldn't afford a new car. So now they're stuck making car payments for 4, 5, 6 or 7 years! And American taxpayers are paying fanother $3,000,000,000 for a government experiment to make our wallets even thinner.

So, with a perfect 100% failure rate and an historical record that proves that government services and programs shoved down our throats are failing faster and faster, you want us to believe you can be trusted with a government-run health care system?? Over 15% of our economy??

Are you crazy?! Truly, the inmates are running the asylum!?

And what does this say about us -- the voters -- who put, and keep reelecting, these scum-bags in office?! Jeez.

Know what I think? Vote against EVERY incumbent. Throw every single one of them out of the House of Representatives in 2010. And then vote against EVERY incumbent Senator up for reelection in 2010, 2012 and 2014. Throw every one of them out.

Rookies and new blood certainly could NOT do any worse than what we've got now.

Government Health Care Plan - Again

From reader Bob B.:

Let me get this straight . . .

Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it, signed by a President who smokes cigarettes, funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a Surgeon General who is fat and obese, and financed by a country that is nearly broke.

What possibly could go wrong?

You sure want Government to Run Your Health Care?

Obama's Health Care Saves Big Bucks

This from the same guy who, on August 20, 2009 said: "We are God's partners in matters of life and death ..."

So now the Federal Government is 'God's Partner?'

Jeez. I never knew. Who'da thunk it?!

It's Come Full Circle - Moses to Obama

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, "Pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land!"

Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel. This is the promised land!"

Now, in 2009, Obama and our Democrat Congress has stolen our shovel , taxed our asses, raised the price of camels, and mortgaged the promised land.

Tax System Explained In Beer

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100.

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the bar-owner threw them a curve. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20." Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes, so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men? The paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?'

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings)
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 ( 22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

"I only got a dollar out of the $20,"declared the sixth man as he pointed to the tenth man,"But he got $10!"

"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too.It's unfair that he got ten times more than me!"

"That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!"

"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how the tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat
friendlier.
