The scariest part of the Democratic Party's Health
care Legislation passed through the House of Congress March 21, 2010, and sure to pass the Senate on Tuesday 3/23/2010, is what wasn't said for the most part over the weeks
leading up to its final passage. Mandate, Mandate, Mandate. Sure, once in a
while I'd hear a radio or TV host bring it up, momentarily. But momentarily was
it, zip that's all folks. And I understand why.
The opposition to the Democratic Party's health care
legislation was the only thing bipartisan with regards to the Bill itself. 34
Democrats voted with 178 Republicans to stop this specific piece of Legislation
for a variety of reasons. They did not vote to stop Health care reform. The
possible and very likely symptomatic problem with the Democratic
Party Bill is the execution of its Mandate. I could have supported the Dem's
health care legislation if
not for the Mandate of requiring and enforcing each and
every American, business and institution to pay for a health insurance plan.
Enforcement whether I can afford it or not under stiff penalties enforced by
none other than, the IRS.
I now believe that the Democratic Party, once a Party of the American dream and human richness,
is now a Party of Left Wing Loons bent on shifting the political landscape in
America to that of a revolutionary militaristic held society. I didn't want to
concede to this possibility of what was once a proud and great Political Party
of the people. But the realization of legislation passed that is supposed to be
so good for the American people, must be enforced and policed by the
government's bully dog, the IRS. Give me serious pause as to the state of the
government now in power in this the greatest nation on earth. I'm not coming
down on the IRS nor blame them in the matter of the Health care Legislation
just passed. The IRS is simply the good licensed soldier of the Federal
Government and will have a job to do.
Now, not only will the Federal Government have
complete access to my financial records but, my medical records as well,
potentially in one central system. Isn't this the excessive power of government
our Founding Father's wrote against in establishing the Bill of Rights "A
Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and
what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference." Thomas
Jefferson. Sunday night
March 21, 2010 did we possibly see a glimpse of an arbitrary government? John
Adams wrote "Nip the shoots of arbitrary
power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of
any people." When some politicians
and Tea Party protesters cried chicanery, I'm reminded again of what John Adams wrote;"Be
not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties
by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often
used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice."
The Democratic Party has become the Party of hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice. The Democratic
Party once believed in the American Dream and was called the Party of the
People. Sure the Party passed entitlement programs, but clearly were not meant
nor were inclined to be intrusive upon the Liberties of Americans. But the
Democrat Party has changed greatly over the decade and a half infiltrated by
Loons and so far to the Right Fanatics, they are seen as Left, what a mess. Now
they are eager and hungry for government intervention and government will over
the people. So back to my original thought as to why Mandate wasn't a cry by
the opposition to the Health care Bill. The Left Loons would have been
characteristically deaf.
As a small business owner, the Health Care Mandate
will limit my size and potential for growth, it will be an albatross around the
neck of America's businesses. Thomas Jefferson wrote; "A wise and frugal
government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of
industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread
it has earned - this is the sum of good government."
