Dear Thomas Sowell, Good Article. Serious, Chilling and very Scary is Obama Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, and todays' news
'Millions face shrinking Social Security Payments, after they've worked all their lives, paid Taxes, and are to be weeded out so politicians can gain more power and more money! These 'blood-sucking tics' have bankrupted America, through their social and welfare programs, and now they want to starve the Taxpayers who have paid into this system, and is now their only income, since the belly-ups by stockbrokers, like Madoff (just to name one)!

Taxpayers, that have a job at present, had better get off their duffs, and sell politicians a 'one-way ticket' to GITMO, after taking their assets to pay off trillions they've borrowed without Taxpayers consent. Send with these 'tics', the local, state, federal prisoners, social and welfare recipients, so they can make or break themselves, and this is, truly, too good for any of them!

America and ‘Heartbeat of America' - textile and furniture manufacturing
businesses making and selling their goods; therefore, being able to buy homes,
cars, and food for their families. Politicians took this away from hard-working
Taxpaying Americans with their ‘Free Trade', stating America would become a
service country. Really, the only servicing being done now is unemployment,
social and welfare offices! Are Taxpayers getting any benefits from this type
governing?

“We need affordable, accessible healthcare for all!” and “Do something for
people who are uninsured” make Taxpayers wonder why these people, writing
these articles, don't get together and charge everyone $100.00 to attend a
meeting and do something constructive; that is, you could take out a good health
insurance plan and look after yourselves, as this is the only way it's going to
happen, because America is bankrupt or haven't you noticed!

Politicians “Do as we say, not as we do” is quite evident in townhall meetings!
They're not interested in me, you nor our comments!

I, personally, was “forced” to take Medicare and their drug plan' (real jokes). I
was happy with my private insurance plan and the deductible. Prior to politicians'
mess, doctor visits were less. The politicians stated “I had to do it their way or
else!” Needless to say, I wasn't a happy camper! Medicare, Medicaid, Healthcare
disaster, and anything else the politicians can drum up to take your money is very
scary! 'Explanation of Benefit' a recent statement I received regarding this
government rip off! My Doctor billed for $233.00, Medicare paid $76.20, private
carrier paid $19.05! Can you see the problem here? Office visits, paid for by me,
the patient, at $50.00, the doctors would be getting a lot more money, less
papework, and government wouldn't have access to all your records, which,
incidentally, can be used against you - in case you didn't know!

In plain English, Taxpayers would be better off with their own insurance and their
own money! If I were a doctor, I'd be sitting on the front steps of all politicians
until they went back to ‘pay as you go', thus saving trillions of dollars! Better yet,
Taxpayers should set up, with a good, honest insurance company, and manage a
Insurance Trust for doctors and hospitals, interest bearing Fund (at a bank that
didn't take TARP money), have all Americans pay $100.00 each month for each
person, and this way, everyone can be insured, pay their ‘fair share', and cut out
the stealing by the ‘blood-sucking ticks'. In the old days, when integrity, honesty
and respest stood for something people paid their own way, paid their own
doctors and hospitals, and America wasn't bankrupt then! I wonder why?

“Millions face shrinking Social Security Payments” todays' headlines! Politicians
robbed the system to pay for all social and welfare programs, which, of course,
these people weren't entitled.

Folks, can't you see that Taxpayers are paying for all the extra offices, the trips,
the lunches, the fine healthcare, etc. for politicians, while we're doing without?

America is now an enslaved nation with trillions of dollars in debt and all because
of deceit and greed. I'm quoting John Adams - “There are two ways to conquer
and enslave a nation. One is by the sword, the other is by debt.” Surely, you
remember history and the Dictator that said “We'll destroy America and never lift
a finger!” If this doesn't wake you up, nothing will!

At no time have Taxpayers heard the words “We, the politicians, in order to pay
off trillions we borrowed without Taxpayers consent, are going to reduce our
benefits, salaries and retirements to $12,000.00 yearly!”
