“Suppose we avoid redistribution by requiring
each person to pay for the
annuity[insurance] he gets…what justification is there then for requiring
him
to purchase it [annuity] from a governmental concern [program]…why not
permit individuals who wish to do so to
purchase their annuities from
private concerns [insurance companies]?”
Milton Friedman
From Capitalism
And Freedom, 1962
Today, February 25, 2010, President Obama held an alleged bipartisanship
Healthcare
Summit with House Democrats and Republicans concerning his
government-run healthcare bill he wants rammed through the
House and
Senate with complete compliance from both parties. I say alleged, because
there is no desire in
the hearts or minds from Democrats to work for or
with Republicans or the American people. Democrats, i.e. Progressives,
have a history of ramming and cramming bills and laws—IRS, Federal
Reserve—illegally into law under the
noses of the American people they
have kept blind for so long, many Americans believe government is supposed
to
take care of them and they are to follow whatever leaders say.
In that case, all must learn to lie, steal, cheat
on their wives, and buy
their government position in Chicago.
Strong-arming the people may have worked for
Teddy Roosevelt, who forced
corporations with threats of military action against them, if they did not
unionize.
That tactic is no longer effective, nor is it brainwashing the
minds of all Americans who are finally seeing the writing
of their
controlled health on the wall.
Americans refuse to be bull-moosed by a socialist story-teller demanding
America convert to European-style politics and life-styles that have
driven the EU into bankruptcy and ill-health.
The EU is proof
bipartisanship, as well as multicultural ideas, destroys free will and
sovereignty, further removing
the personal liberties of people who elect
politicians to office to serve the people, not dictate how people should
live while catering to foreign cultures in order to gain votes.
Bipartisanship demands lock-stepping to the direction
of presidents and
party leaders. Bipartisanship does not serve the people through separate
party competition;
it wipes out competition between the two parties,
removes ideas, replacing inspiration with limitations. Bipartisanship
creates one large bureaucracy of parliamentary-style leaders forbidden to
disagree with the man in charge.
Partisanship competition has a history of working. It founded this nation.
Bipartisanship, like multiculturalism,
forces all to comply and accept
that which removes the Constitution in favor of unnatural law:
suppression.
Partisanship, in the same way as one culture living within
one heritage, provides free-thinking, insists private liberties
exist,
create, and build a strong nation of individuals with choice. The
opposite generates chaos and animosity.
In his book Capitalism And Freedom, Milton Friedman discussed how the
government controls American lives: “[T]he
program known as old age and
survivor’s insurance (OASI) consists of a special tax imposed on payrolls,
plus
payments to persons who have reached a specified age… 1. The
requirement that a wide class of persons must purchase
specified
annuities, i.e. compulsory provision for old age. 2. The requirement that
the annuity must be purchased
from the government, i.e. Nationalization of
the provision of these annuities. 3. A scheme for redistributing income
…to which people are entitled when they enter the system…there is no
necessity for these elements to
be combined. Each individual could be
required to pay for his own annuity; the individual could be permitted to
purchase an annuity form private firms…”
Friedman further noted: “The subsidy to the beneficiaries
is independent
of their poverty or wealth; the man of means receives it as much as the
indignant. That tax
which pays the subsidy is a flat-rate tax on earnings
up to a minimum. It constitutes a larger fraction of low
incomes than
high. What conceivable justification is there for taxing the young to
subsidize the old regardless
of the economic status of the old…I see no
grounds on which such a subsidy can be justified.”
The
phony bipartisan healthcare summit between Democrats and Republicans
is not set up for healthcare access or Barry O would
encourage Republicans
and voters to demand legislators enact laws allowing citizens to obtain
health insurance wherever
they desire.
Under the current bully system, Americans are forced to buy insurance in
their own states, forbidden
to purchase insurance across state lines.
Under the existing structure, as Friedman pointed out, Americans are
obliged
to pay each other’s way rather than being self-sufficient as the
Founders intended and signed into law.
If Obamacare is passed, all Americans will be forced to acquire
government-run healthcare insurance or face severe
fines. That is
bipartisanship: all go along or face penalties.
House Republicans should have refused
to appear at the “bipartisanship”
summit. Nothing will be gained, Obama will never agree to Americans
having rights to their own bodies and healthcare providers unless it is to
abort as many unborn children as possible
while forcing the elderly to die
in favor of treating the young.
The grand-standing summit was a complete
waste of time, set up for
termaholics to be seen on TV.
If American doctors are not allowed to cure diseases,
which scientists are
prevented from actually discovering cures for, the answer to Obama’s
summit ideas is
the same-old-same-old: treat diseases with expensive drugs
enriching pharmaceutical companies who do not desire to create
cures.
Creating cures would save lives and bankrupt drug companies.
Money is more valuable than human lives.
What makes any logical minded person assume this latest summit of manure
will grant doctors rights to treat patients?
Who truly believes patients
will be allowed to make their own decisions about treatments and doctors
if Obama coerces
“bipartisan” “cooperation?”
This is no different than multiculturalism demanding Americans
learn to
speak Spanish so illegals can take over America with foreign cultures
Americans are expected to fall in
line with or face being tagged racist.
If Republicans refuse Obama’s bipartisan healthcare ideas, they will be
called inhumane leaders who want sick Americans to die.
It’s a shame dueling was outlawed.
