You are not my countrymen.

You are not my countrymen.

Carolyn Hileman

I know a lot of people are just tickled that the president has decided to make sure you never have to pay a doctor bill for the rest of your life; I mean really it sounds really great unless you really start to think about it. You see even though he says we will still be able to use our private insurance, most of those are paid by our employers and they plan to tax those as income to pay for Obama care. What is it they say, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is? Now think about it the bosses are going to be taxed because they are paying for your insurance, interesting plan except that you and I both know the minute that happens they will drop that insurance on you and your family like a hot potato and who can blame them. There goes that source of revenue to pay for Obama care and while we are on the subject, what happens to all those insurance agents? What about the people they have working for them? Just how many more layoffs will this spawn?

The government stepped in to help the big three auto makers who are now planning to lay off another one hundred thousand people and with that success firmly behind them the administration is working on killing the insurance industry and putting even more people out of work, make a whole lot of sense doesn’t it? Now let’s follow this through shall we, we have already killed the private insurance tax because no one is offering it anymore, so what is next, sodas, makes sense they make people fat so they tax them. Problem is when prices go up people either stop drinking them altogether or go to a cheaper brand. What happens to those hourly people that the soda companies can no longer afford to keep because their sales have reduced dramatically? What happens when they must close their doors, where does the money to fund Obama care come from then? Cigarettes, same question, beer, same question and after they have managed to drain the economy dry of jobs and income there will be the few left that hold a job and that debt will be theirs.

Give this some thought while you are counting the money you will save by not having to pay doctor bills, look at their past record, twelve trillion dollars and still another one hundred thousand people about to be laid off. Then there is the question of will they be checking voter registration at the door? We all know what happened to the Chrysler dealerships who donated to the republicans, there has been no repercussions for that so they will feel free to do it over and over again. There is only one person powerful enough to get that information, only one person powerful enough to use that information against someone and walk away from it, so have you ever voted republican, donated to them, has anyone you love done so? Would you be willing to take the chance that they just might be checking? Would you be able to walk away if someone you loved voted republican and was refused service? This is not only dangerous because it will have the effect of taking a corner stone out of the building and letting it fall to the ground on the economy but it is equally dangerous in the fact that there still has been no accountability over the Chrysler dealership closings. If this is something you feel comfortable doing to your fellow countrymen then I will quote a great man:
“If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” –Samuel Adams
And bid you farewell, for you are not my countrymen.
