You’ll love this. Be sure to read the rest of the article (link below). Then thank your Congresspersons for the additional debt ceiling authorized today which amounts to $45,000 for every man, woman and child in the country!

Healthcare “reform” is not your job. Raising an army and protecting the country — and its inherent sovereignty — IS your job.
In none of the enumerated powers (Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution) do we find anything about regulating not only the healthcare industry but, as you are attempting, the individual healthcare choices [...]

My view is that NOTHING is wrong in America — not in the REAL America.
It’s the politics in Washington that is trampling on the Constitution, spending us into the poor house, and padding the pockets of special interests that’s wrong. The following is a piece from Glenn Beck that lays it out pretty nicely. There [...]

As the top 2% makes less money, which is now occurring, then the 80% slice of tax generation will decline. What would be done then — raise taxes? A bit of math will demonstrate that once the top tier is earning substantially less income, then even at a 100% tax rate the federal budget will not be funded. Exactly where that cross-over point is, I don’t claim to know. But what I do know is that we’re headed that direction — a direction which is a recipe for disaster.

and to really understand the arrogance, here’s the video:

And they say it proudly and, seemingly, seriously. Check the following list in an article from CNN. Call it “pork” or “earmarks” or whatever [...]
