The welfare state and your life savings are two cars heading down a one-lane road in opposite directions. One must yield, or there will be a crash.
For Americans who believe in the old-fashioned virtues of hard work, self reliance and respect for private property, the solution is obvious. The welfare state must yield.
For politicians who believe in the welfare state and redistributing wealth, the solution is equally obvious. Your savings must yield.
Barack Obama is of the latter group. In the new health care proposal he outlined this week, he suggested a series of unprecedented tax increases that would extend the greedy hands of government into the life savings of hard-working Americans.
These new taxes would essentially construct a new fiscal pipeline capable of carrying money out of the savings of private citizens and dumping it into government coffers specifically for subsidizing Medicare under the new health care system Obama envisions. The White House summary of Obama's proposal presents this would-be pipeline as a facilitator of economic justice.

In truth, this is not really the beginning.
No doubt the values his bonafide Communist parents instilled in him at a young age fostered a craving to plunder all productive Americans.
No doubt the radical associations throughout his education refined the methods to dismantle Capitalism itself.
How could we allow this to happen in America? We are so effed!
When will it be time to seriously impeach this guy? “
Obama knows the people don’t want the health care.
Obama knows the people don’t want him taking their retirement.
Obama knows the people don’t want him.
Obama is flipping the people off because he isn’t going to take the risk to get close enough to the people to say F%^k all of you.
Hello.
Understand the thought of waiting til Jan 2011 to start the impeachment process.
However, I believe that this process should be started now.
It is a timely process and could become A MAJOR plank in every conservative Republcan’s election platform this fall!
It might help ensure the Tsunami just sweeps them all out into the dustbin of history.
Also, I believe the time is very very short.
Let’s come together - all those who know Mr. Obama and his band of communist/Chicao/ SEIU thugs are swept out of the White House/executive branch positions.
Who knows? The Dems who are dropping like flies or dropping ot of their election races might in fact turn on O and vote to remove him from office - especially if such a vote might make them think they can stay in office after this coming November. (It won’t - but they might think that).
The crimes have been committed and continue to be committed every single day - and it’s never wise to let a criminal keep committng crime after crime when there is a legal, ethical way to stop the crime spree!
In the case of the office of President, impeachment was put into the Constitution for just such a time as this.
Let’s use the wisdom our founders gave us and start the process immediately!!!
I believe we cannot wait.
Prayers for our country and for this world!
If the GOP does not have a mega landslide and the country impeaches and removes him then it is over.
Too many welfare cases in this country with:
1. Illegals
2. Union workers especially govt workers
3. ACORN types.
4. Recent third world immigrants.
Entitlements were the problem the day they were implemented and the logical conclusion is inevitable. Our leaders in both parties have ignored reality for too long.
If they print $400 for every $100 in savings we have, our savings (valued in dollars) is pretty much worthless.
They can also seize our savings and it still would not change the inevitable failure of the biggest ponzi schemes in history.
Either way, we are deprived of what we earned and failure is certain. When they choke the productive, revenue decreases, hastening the day entitlements fail. If they steal our savings and seize our property the economy collapses depriving them of the revenue needed to fund entitlements (or the ability to borrow).
The irony is, those who live on entitlements will be hurt the most. Our government would still print the checks until the cost to mail them was more than the real value of the check. They can try any combination of things to include price controls and it still won’t work! We are starting to hear 100 trillion dollars in unfunded promises. A number that is as far beyond our imagination as is our ability to pay for it.
Buckle your seatbelt because it’s going to be a bumpy ride! Prepare accordingly.
I suggest we pray for wisdom and pray for the elections of good, strong conservatives. I don’t think our current group is up to the task and I know they’re not trustworthy. I’m not sure the electorate would want to hear about a pending impeachment ahead of the elections in November. We can keep a list of impeachable offenses. :)
Time is short and running out fast. The middle class may not make it through this summer. One problem is the judiciary is totally corrupt.
When will it be time to seriously impeach this guy?
IANAL, but that's easy. The Constitution is not so hard to read.
The answer is, When we have a majority of the House and two thirds of the Senate!
Thanks... it was good... just sent it out to 56 emails.
That rug in the Oval Office with the Eagle seal will be next to go. It will be replaced with the seal of the Hammer and Sickle!
The common law definition of robbery is “the taking of one’s property by force or the implied threat of force”. A large number of Americans are not sheep and will not stand for oppression by an out of control government.
We are heading for national bankruptcy and/or worse. I don’t even believe all the private wealth in America could prevent the collapse. That is the ugly feeling many of us have in our gut right now. I know my outlook has certainly changed in the last few years. All our current bickering about the GOP/DNC or who wants to shave a billion here or there is nothing more than background noise. Obama has been a disaster but most of the GOP were not talking about abolishing entitlements and drastically cutting government. That is the only answer I see because we can’t pay our bills no matter how long we prop up this mess!
Our nation will do anything to avoid pain and our politicians are simply representative of that unfortunate truth.
First eliminate Medicaid!
Those people don’t contribute anything, let them lie down in the street and die!
Yes - time is very very short - in so many ways.
God is at work. Keep looking up!
However, I believe that this process should be started now.
It is a timely process and could become A MAJOR plank in every conservative Republcan’s election platform this fall!

I doubt the process can be started before then,,,
2010 will be a bloodbath for the dems,,,
No way around it,,,
If/when we take back control an (R) Congress can order his
BC/records to be brought before them to prove who/what he
is and just where he came from,,,
I really don't care if the blacks riot and burn cities like
they have done in the past,,,
At my house we'll just stay home and “Fort Up” till it's
all over with,,,
I have some like-minded neighbors that will do the same...
Good one!
