The Peter Schiff/Redistribution Watch Ping. (Washington Bankrupting our Nation by Spending your past, present and future money!)

If you realize both parties in Washington think our money is theirs and you trust them to do the wrong thing, this list is for you.

If you think there is a Santa Claus who is going to get elected in Washington and cut a few taxes and spend a few trillion and jump start the economy, and get our lost money back, this list is not for you.

You can read past posts by clicking on : schifflist , I try to tag all relevant threads with the keyword : schifflist.

> The Peter Schiff/Redistribution Watch Ping. (Washington Bankrupting our Nation by Spending your past, present and future money!)

Get this :"Predictably, though, the Democrats fully intend to "protect" workers from the choice to save their jobs by working for less. Page 273 of the bill stipulates that any amount pledged for the minimum-health-insurance plan that corresponds to a fall in salary or wage will not be considered a contribution at all. Page 310 establishes a $100 per day, per case fine for any privately negotiated fall in wages. Thus, salaries will be locked in at current rates, with any cuts being considered an attempt to subvert the labor tax, and thus being subject to financial penalties.

Little good can come from this, but there is one thing. Unlike my generation and those that came before, all since haven't known and don't understand what socialism and communism really are. For them, they are just words.

obama is offering the uninitiated reality through his many teaching moments and if they aren't paying attention, they will be paying and paying and paying...

I am amazed how many kids in their 20s are going for this and even take Obama’s word on FNC .

All ‘Bammycare is...is taking YOUR health insurance premium for themselves...and then “death paneling” us out of care....simple as that...

In my opinion, this would be the final nail in the coffin of our economy. No recovery would be possible under this kind of economic burden on both small businesses and individuals.

Recession will be the new normal unless this bill is stopped.

Obama is causing my hypertension. I like my $166 a month Blue Cross plan, it’s been great, covered my fall and 80% of a $55,000 elbow surgery, my part was $2500 +$350 + 20%. $13,850 for 11 rods, 14 screws and lots of physical therapy. The problem is, I think $15,000 or so is fair for what I needed done, and the excellent medical care I got all around, and a lot of people want it for free.

Oddly, there were three letters to the editor in my local paper today thanking Congressman Arcuri for his “courageous” vote for the Pelosi House healthcare plan because it will save us so much money. Dreamers.

This health care scam is all part of a plan to destroy the middle class.
You will have the working poor, and the gold collar, billionaire elites...

-the blue collar/ white collar class is far too uppity and demanding for the upper crustaceans who have no loyalty to this country, when they are doing international finance, making their billions off of Chinese/ turd whirled slave labor.

The very rich, and the well connected political class will still get their health care bennies, but the working class stiff who will be barely getting by in the future, won't get squat.

Say hello to "Nyet"

Yes, but it creates serfs for the Democrat Party, which is the point of the proposal.

Yep, the nephew will be surprised when his free health care deducts almost a $100 per week of take-home-pay

RE :"making their billions off of Chinese/ turd whirled slave labor."

Educated slave labor. They value education , personal savings, and traditional families (Mother and Father.) Here we have MTV, fathers are only for child support payments(slave labor too) , and all want to be stock brokers and real estate agents, high pay for sales jobs. Ran out of people to sell to.

The working class fails to realize that the government cant force private employers to give them a raise(like this bill tries), because the government cant force the employers to give them jobs.

Thanks to the NEA and communist friends, most Americans are idiots. Of course they don’t understand how they’ve been screwed!

Yep, they’re all over my building with the Obama disease and my answer is let’em have it; they’ll get what they deserve for supporting this regime. Me, I’ll take early retirement and watch the Jihadi’s blow’em up.
