Send this letter to your senator!

Dear Senator, As you may or may not be aware the majority of US Citizens are NOT in favor of the Administrations proposed Health Care Plan. This plan, adds an insane level of complexity to the health care system and in this removes my ability to choose the insurance I want, to petition companies the way in which I want and to access the services I want without some level of Government interference. The secondary issue with this proposed effort is the cost. There is no fixed answer on cost. President Obama has failed drastically to show where and how this insane level of spending will come from. “Taxing the rich” as is commonly thrown around on the hill and by the administration is NOT ACCEPTABLE. The highest paid 5% in the US pay over 30% of the income tax, the top 50% pay 94% of the income tax, this is BY NO MEANS FAIR! When did the United States of America encourage the methodology of “tax the other guy as long as it isn’t me”. This is non-sense. However the cost and the loss of pers...

Own up to your faults

It is amazing that people insist on throwing sand back and forth in the sandbox. "Well we may suck but you did to", what kind of 3rd grade argument is that? And CNN, primary Ruben Navarrette...keeps it going. Try to be an adult # Story Highlights # Ruben Navarrette: Obama administration mishandled health debate # He says president hasn't been clear on what he wants or how to pay for it # He says Republicans blame Obama for spending without admitting their own role # Navarrette: Republicans botched efforts to reform Social Security

Welcome to the folks that WROTE your stimulus package

Health Care "Town Halls"

You couldn't ask for more vindication for the working class. Watching elite Senators sit in a state of confusion because they can't understand why the people they work for are so tired of their non-sense. The vast majority of town hall meetings to discuss health care, since Congress left for the summer, have ended in devastation with..in come cases..congresspersons being escorted away from their own event by police. I'm not advocating violence by any means but it is nice to see people finally get off the couch and express their opinion. It is also amazing to watch the Democratic and Liberal media try to say "the GOP or RNC is setting this up" cause God knows, someone with a 51% approval rating and a Congress with a 30% approval rating can't have any enemies. Wake up already.

Societies Dregs

As a nation the US now seems hell bent on supporting the lowest common denominator. Individuals who, without personal discretion, spent more than they had, lived a very socialist lifestyle sucking off the tit of others and now the government using the tax dollars of responsible individuals to pay for it. The vast majority of income tax is paid by the top 5% earners in the US, 94% of all income tax is paid by the top 50%. How about we STOP scrapping the bottom of the barrel and lowering the bar of success to allow failure to be rewarded. Individual bankruptcy was up 34% last month. So with all this stimulus, where are those individuals "bailouts"? I guess they can make up part of our 10% unemployment now. It truly amazes me how people can have a high approval rating of this administration when they have assisted in double digit unemployment and a 13.5+% deficit spending (it was 4% when Bush left office, so you can't blame them..sorry). I can only imagine what this place wi...
