First the government cripples you, then it tries to sell you a crutch!
I have some relatives who just can't let go of the 'glow' of the Obama presidency and the hollow promise of 'free health care'.
I am reminded of a line from the great movie, 'A clear and present danger'. Jack Ryan, played by Harrison Ford is going to Washington DC to do battle with the politicians. His mentor, played by the wonderful James Earl Jones tells Ford that he can describe Washington DC politics in four words:
"Watch your back, Jack!
I would like to know from the faithful believers in this health care legislation farce......
Do you let your grown children have control of your insurance and health care and finances?
No?
Why not?
They don't need control over you?
None of their business?
Do you think your kids care less about you than some faceless bureaucrat in DC?
When the government controls your health care, government controls our life! This is one of the last freedoms we have, they already control our income, etc. and I'm not content to turn it over to a government, any government. And it sure doesn't take 1000 pages to 'fix' the problems we have to insure a very small percentage of the population...a good percentage of them being illegal aliens..
Which reminds me....For a dozen years, I have asked this question:
Name 3 things the government doesn't tax, regulate or prohibit........
No one has ever been able to do it. But I finally know of one thing! ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION! And soon the government will try to sell you the 'crutch' of amnesty!
Can’t you just see an illegal immigrant filling out his taxes(for the 6th time under 6 different aliases) in order to get their 6th 3500.00 tax refund.

It happens. They also make out with the Earned Income Credit and usually file on a Taxpayer Id # instead of a SS#. Jim Inhofe tried to address that in the very good bill he proposed a couple years ago (which everyone ignored)
