The Affordable Health Care Act, government cheese and slavery

[JOHN W K]

If you do not consider the Affordable Health Care Act as part of Obama’s desire to enslave a large segment of America’s population and place them under the heel of an iron fisted government, then ask yourself, what is the object of slavery? Is it not an act in which the fruits of one person’s labor is forcefully taken and used for the personal economic wants and desires of another?

Those who have studied the Obamacare subsidy schedule quickly realize the very object is to take the bread which productive working class citizens have earned and redistribute it to those who are financially less productive. This of course is not done by Obama for a benevolent purpose. It is done to swell the numbers of an existing voting block who are very much dependent upon the federal government for its subsistence, who then have another compelling personal interest to sell their vote to those running for office who promising to keep the government cheese flowing, and vote for others who promise to add more to the government cheese menu.

In fact, this is how many despotic governments remain in power. Once the majority of a nations’ voting block is receiving government cheese, those holding political power constantly talk about the virtues of “democracy” and claim they are doing nothing more that carrying out the will of the people while those having the bread they have earned confiscated to fund the “democracy” are deprived from enjoying the fruits of their own labor.

In the instant case under Obamacare a high school drop-out working in a low skilled job who earns about $17,000 a year will have to pay about $55 per month toward their premium. In addition to a subsidized premium, this individual worker will also be eligible for another subsidy to help pay for his/her out-of-pocket expenses such as co-payments, and deductibles.

Now, let us look at your average skilled worker in one of the trades [plumber, carpenter, electrician, etc.,] who is a productive citizen and earns about $46,000 a year. He gets to pay about $360.00 a month premium [seven times more than our above mentioned low skilled high school drop-out] while there is no subsidy for him to lower out-of-pocket expenses [co-payments and deductibles]. Keep in mind both workers mentioned above are assumed to work a 40hr week, yet one is enslaved by the iron fist of a thieving government to subsidize Obamacare costs for the other. Is this not the very definition of slavery?

But don’t expect the Republican members of the House to stand firm and represent the interests of Americas taxpaying Citizens who are being enslaved by Obamacare. The Republican Party Leadership will do exactly as they have done every time in the past ___ put on a good performance and then cave in while they work in secret with democrats to tighten the iron fist of government around the necks of America’s productive taxpaying citizen.

And why did our founding fathers require that all bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House? To find part of the answer involves nothing more than a review of the Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787 as reported by James Madison

On JUNE 13TH OF THE CONVENTION we find the argument for requiring all bills for raising revenue are to originate in the House of Representatives.

Mr. GERRY. moved to restrain the Senatorial branch from originating money bills. The other branch was more immediately the representatives of the people, and it was a maxim that the people ought to hold the purse-strings. If the Senate should be allowed to originate such bills, they wd. repeat the experiment, till chance should furnish a set of representatives in the other branch who will fall into their snares.

Instead of the House using its power over the purse to protect America’s productive taxpaying citizens, and tell Obama and his progressive thugs to go pound sand, the chatter of a “clean” continuing resolution bill to fund the Washington Establishments’ tyrannical doings has already begun, which includes exempting themselves from Obamacare.

If we can make 51 percent of America’s population dependent upon an Obama, welfare, food stamp, section 8 housing, college loan check, and now "free" Obamacare, we can blackmail them for their vote, keep ourselves in power and keep the remaining portion of America’s productive population enslaved to pay the bills ____ Obama’s Marxist Free Stuff Party, which is designed to establish a federal plantation and redistribute the wealth which wage earners, business and investors have worked to create.

How many here are runaways from the obamacare insurance plantation?

[yorkiemom]

They’re at 47% now. Obamacare should add another 4% easily.

[AnAmericanAbroad]

You’re being generous; I say 10%, no problemo.

Instead of the House using its power over the purse to protect America’s productive taxpaying citizens, and tell Obama and his progressive thugs to go pound sand, the chatter of a “clean” continuing resolution bill to fund the Washington Establishments’ tyrannical doings has already begun, which includes exempting themselves from Obamacare.

The entire continuing resolution idea has gone way too far.

Congress is constitutionally required to pass a budget and yet they have not passed a budget since Obama has taken office. Even when Obama had both houses of congress in his camp they could not or would not pass a budget.

Why do you suppose that it?

My guess is that the Democrats do not wish to be constrained by and be held accountable to spending within a budget. With a continuing resolution they can continue to spend at the levels that were in place for the stimulus bills which as we all know are hundreds of billions higher than were previously spent by the Federal Government.
