While reading through some of my top-of-the-morning news sites I ran across a disturbing article that describes one of the latest fights in the House.. I know, I know, big news right? However, this one unnerved me a bit. It describes the lengths to which the Democratic party will go to in order to stop Republican points of view from being heard by their constituents.
At issue is an organizational chart of the purposed Health Care legislation (See PDF) and the labyrinth of bureaucratic offices that will be created if passed into law. For reasons not quite clear, Democrats do not want to have open honest debates on this subject which leads me to believe there are items in the bill that most Americans would consider repugnant. For instance, it will be mandated that you buy insurance, You will no longer have a choice about it. I have read in other articles that the mandate is backed up with a rather hefty fine, Hmm.. I am trying to find in the Constitution where this power if granted. I'll let you know when I find it, but I wouldn't hold my breath until it is found. I leave you with 2 quotes from Thomas Jefferson:
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
-Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
-Thomas Jefferson
