This was written to a High School friend on Facebook that invited me to join a group he started......"I bet we can find 32,000,000+ people who APPROVE of the Health Care Bill,". The following is my response and I must tell you that I was deeply saddened by this.
At first I thought you were kidding about "finding" 32,000,000 people who support the health care bill.....
I'm sadden to see that you are serious and very angry at those who voice opposition to your point of view.....and no, I don't agree with everything the so-called conservatives say......there's plenty of blame to go around. Starting with our generation....we are the first to turn over this country to the next generation worse than it was before.
By the way, you are only asking for 11% of the country and the last time I looked that is not a majority.......but that doesn't count anymore because the majority is not heard anyway.
I would just like to have someone show me where in the Constitution that it says that the government should be involved in business......after all, insurances of all kinds are big business......
Yes, there should be insurance reform.....like allowing you to buy medical insurance across state lines.
Government has the most abysmal track record for running business.....our founding fathers knew this and deliberately crafted Article 1 Section 8 to limit government. People so often misquote the Declaration of Independence, specifically the "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" statement. They don't include "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,-......." and they weren't worried about such things as insurance.....they were upset about a lack of representation and over taxes for one thing.
This has been coming for a long time and it is primarily the result of our not remembering (being taught) about our founding fathers and the discussions leading to one of man's greatest documents and to the only successful revolution this world has ever seen.
This bill that you seem to support has atrocious things in it. Besides the lies that it will decrease the deficit....after all, estimates are that it will create 150 new offices to administer it......did you know that the average government worker annual salary is $77,000 and the annual salary for the average citizen is $44,000?......there is the matter of abortion.......
We have murdered over 50,000,000 potential workers in this country. Talk about being stupid.....even if you take God out of it......just the economic angle alone is enough to tick one off. You and I and the rest of our high school classmates will be the largest 70 year old population ever....yes, ever,...... and we've killed off those who would contribute to our social security retirement fund.....you know, the one our GOVERNMENT promised never to touch.......
You can't do that and not expect God to punish this nation........murder is murder......by all the polls, 76% of the people claim to believe in God and Jesus Christ as their saviour.......how can that be when we allow abortion.....and now our "Congress and President" have found a way to null and void the Hyde Amendment that for 30+years kept my tax dollars from funding abortion........yes, I know the President signed an executive order to not fund abortions, but guess what?......as soon as it is politically feasible, he will rescind it quietly and no one will report it in the "MSN"
We now have a government that is hell bent on bankrupting our nation....

"I sincerely believe... that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:23
Loading up the nation with debt and leaving it for the following generations to pay is morally irresponsible. Excessive debt is a means by which governments oppress the people and waste their substance. No nation has a right to contract debt for periods longer than the majority contracting it can expect to live.
"Then I say, the earth belongs to each of these generations during its course, fully and in its own right. The second generation receives it clear of the debts and incumbrances of the first, the third of the second, and so on. For if the first could charge it with a debt, then the earth would belong to the dead and not to the living generation. Then, no generation can contract debts greater than may be paid during the course of its own existence." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1789. ME 7:455, Papers 15:393
"The conclusion then, is, that neither the representatives of a nation, nor the whole nation itself assembled, can validly engage debts beyond what they may pay in their own time." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1789. ME 7:457, Papers 15:398n
etc., etc......forgotten wisdom of our founding fathers.....
We are a generation of ingrates that raised more and louder ingrates.......a generation that has forgotten that freedom doesn't mean bigger government......it means smaller government......a generation who has the sorry notion of entitlement that we mistakenly call rights......a generation that thinks nothing of letting the government take our money and use it for things that the majority do not want...........
I ask forgiveness from any that I may have insulted....these are simply my opinions
