Today the Supreme Court ruled that corporations can engage in “Taxation Without Representation” by unrestricted funding of political ads for or against candidates and issues of their choice! Guess where their funding is going to come from? It is bad enough that these effete snobs of privilege earn more in one day then many earn in one year! But they will not simply stick their hands into their slothful deep pockets to fund their class agenda but will forcefully stick their hands into the pockets of America’s Silent Majority – our great Middle Class! The modus operandi of financing their corporate K-Street agenda and this transfer of wealth from America’s middle class to the corporate elitists will be via:
This bill is to weak and requires audacity to hope that rates will not skyrocket due to insurance company greed. I am afraid I cannot go along with Senator Harkins analogy that the Senate Bill is a “starter house not a mansion but we have to start somewhere!” I must number myself among the “Democrats Against Health Reform” because as Howard Dean has mentioned the Bill still allows Insurance Companies to practice “de facto” rejection of customers due to prior existing conditions. The rejection would be illegal but the modus operandi would be that insurance companies can still jack up their prices to cost prohibitive levels on those customers they do not want!
There is no real competition for the insurance companies without a robust public option.
Thus rates will continue their projected massive upward trends. Rates are set to skyrocket over the next few years but the average American is not aware of this.
You cannot simply “add on” to this “starter house” because the Democrats just don’t have the testosterone to do it! Besides having a public option was a compromise to begin with since most progressives want a single payer system!
I strongly urge you to watch this testosterone filled video from “The Frank Factor”. This video was made prior to Obama taking office! But the author makes a correct assessment and a dire prediction that has come true due to the weak behavior of both Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. (See see video below).
Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson is a damned hypocrite who helped kill real Health Care Reform. He whines against both abortion and government “socialism”. That is why he was against the public option! Yet he has jumped on board to give the 60th vote in the Senate in return for unique “Socialist Medicaid” concessions to his state of Nebraska while denying America the public option! – Hypocrite!
I believe Howard Dean is correct! This Health Care Bill is so weak that it does not deserve to pass. In the video below you will hear President Obama followed by Howard Dean. The President just does not seem to get it. He believes that the issue here is “The perfect is the enemy of the good”. While I believe that is a good motto I do not believe it applies here.

The Progressive base of the Democratic Party stayed home since we have been “Snowed” in. President Obama, in his quest for bipartisanship, has climbed MT Olympus to find that the “Snow(e)” is slippery and has driven the Democratic base to stay home. Then again President Obama stood by while the Maine Gay Marriage Act was overturned and did not speak out in support of retaining it while the Glen Beck crowd used “fear” to make people believe their children were going to be taught homosexuality in school! Also Obama stood by all this time as Sarah Palin was being a pal to the Alaskan Secessionists while she accused him of being weak on supporting our nation’s values!
Barrack Obama is becoming a wimp in the face of Republicans and especially Tea Baggers! We liberals need to have our own Liberal version of the Tea Party Movement. We need to fight Corporate Collectivization! Our freedom as individuals is at stake! It is bad enough that fat cat corporate executives have deeper pockets to support their candidates but they want to dip their hands into my wallet and TAX me via higher premiums to support their K – Street Operations! Why am I being taxed by these Corporate Collectives to finance their social agenda against my individual self interest? This is Taxation Without Representation! Their motto is “Power To The Corporate Collectives and the hell with Individual Freedom”! We need to have our own Progressive Tea Party Movement! Read the rest of this entry »
Have you contributed to support the political agenda of your social betters today? Why not just go to a football game? Rachel Maddow quoting www.OpenSecrets.org has revealed that many football teams are contributing to Republican Politicians. No let’s be clear I have no objection to the CEO’s and executives of the various football teams taking money out of their deep pockets to support their politicians and political philosophy! But I object that they are sticking their hands into my pocket to pay for their agenda when Middle Class Americans go to a football game!
