A Taxing Situation

House Plans to Tax Millionaires to Fund Health Care

Today's headlines are once again blaring the most common populist mantra of socialist egalitarian rationalization. Obama's plan for funding supposed universal health care? "Tax the rich." That's right friends and neighbors, never fear as it concerns president Obama's plans for America's forced perspective concerning health care. He will tax the rich to pay for it! Or is it...."he will tax the evil rich to pay for it!"

Either way, someone will be taxed to pay for all this, but let's not tell the average working stiff and those poor dumb bastards working 20 hours a day trying to run their own small businesses, that in the end it will be they who are called upon to shoulder their own plucking.

President Obama is going ahead with his full court press for socialized medicine in America and Nancy Pelosi will lead the ground assault in the house of representatives.

Admittedly, taxing the rich is a popular (hence populist) perspective on just about anything concerning government funding or financing in today's world, especially since the democrats regained the house in 2006 and the senate and the White house last year. But since then, America has suffered the worst economic down turn and recession in a century and the money just isn't there for any more new programs.

None the less our entrusted liberal leaders seem hell bent on pushing us right up to the edge of the great abyss of economic collapse and into the deficit pit of hell. Just as long as they can pursue and obtain their socialist dreams, who cares what cost.

Come hell or high water, these socialist running the democrat party are going to ram through their socialist spending agenda if it kills all of us.

Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead! Only this time it isn't a naval blockade but rather the last bastions of capitalism that are under a full scale federal attack by a rogue president and an absolutely out of control socialist majority congress.

The "rich" seem to be the prized golden geese for the democrat goose stepping marchers in congress. Those who are now taking aim at their biggest prize to date (Obama and Pelosi) seem prepared to accept that their cap and trade (tax) plan can't make it out of the senate. And they are now earnestly pushing to get Obama's massive spending bill to supposedly revamp health care through the house before the August recess.

Having been promised by this president a more open and transparent government while campaigning, the reality is proving once again to be far less than was promised to the people by Obama while he was campaigning. (shades of, that was then this is now.)

The present health care legislation being authored by this band of rogues, is already over 1000 pages in length and growing. Does anyone actually think that those who will vote on this bill have read or will read it before they vote to pass it? Does anyone actually believe that we the people will have a chance to read the bill or comment on it for that matter before the vote to pass it? Hell no!

And while the political rhetoric of kill the rich is all fine, well and good on the political stump and in front of the cameras, the reality remains that the liberal definition of rich, leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to taxation.

We are talking about a president and a speaker of the house who have yet to accurately reach a projected mark or promise (concerning budgets, taxes or unemployment) that has been made in the last three years. And these are the same people telling us now, that they will finance their socialized medicine program by simply turning the screws a "wee bit" on those nasty rich people.

Never mind that two things will become terribly apparent just as soon as this bill becomes law.

First, those major corporations and businesses that currently provide health benefits coverage to their employees? That will come to an abrupt end just as soon as this bill becomes law. These businesses (big and small) and the major corporations will quickly realize, that in order to remain competitive, they will have to un-leverage themselves from their present obligations concerning health care coverage for their employees.

Therefore, they will simply pull their benefits packages and tell their employees to go enroll in the new government mandated "free for all" Obama health care program.

The next thing to become apparent to the people after that, will be that the evil rich will soon by necessity encompass everyone who is employed at any level when it comes to paying for the Obama health care taxation program.

Oh sure....make no mistake, those evil rich people will have long since been bled white of all the money that can be squeezed from them. But the reality will remain what any cogent thinking person has to know is truth, "that this socialist farce cannot be funded solely on the backs of the rich!" (It never could have been).

And what will be accomplished in the long and arduous process of the masses being led to that reality? It will become painfully apparent that we will lose literally millions of small businesses and tens of millions more will soon join the ranks of the jobless. Unemployment may hit 20% if this lunacy passes and is signed into law. But at least everyone will have health care. Even if they have to die waiting for it.

That is what happens when you kill all the golden geese on the alter of socialism. No more eggs, no more land of plenty, no more freedoms. Only famine and pestilence and the final rationalization that believing in egalitarian Nirvana, never was anything other than a disjointed and irrational dream. An impossible dream foisted on the people for the sole purpose of controlling and destroying them. And the funny part? They voted for it.

Thus has been the reality of Nirvana since it's original creation in the diseased mind of socialism over 150 years ago. And it is once again time for the current generation to live the nightmare and learn the painful lessons.
