government health-care (read: highway robbery)

For starters, it looks like Obama's administration is finally on the defense. This is a good thing. Maybe they'll actually vie with public opinion (yeah right).

There are two fundamental flaws with government-backed health care that I think a lot of people out there are beginning to realize (sadly, it takes your average American too long to understand things of this nature):

1. Competition with an entity that can print its own money is unfair. Moreover, competition with an entity that hasn't had a budget surplus in 12 years and hasn't paid down any of its debt in 52 years is unfair.

2. Those who would be competing against Obamacare (let's just call it "DebtCare" or "CommieCare" or "HorseshitCare") would also be the ones paying the taxes to subsidize that competition - which is not only circular, but paradoxical. The only way to really make it fair for the government to enter the private sector and compete with companies that have to raise their own capital (again, because the government's track record shows that they do not raise capital on their own, save raping us every year for our taxes, which has consistently fallen short since the beginning of the 20th century), is for them to forgo income taxes on our private health contributions. That might make it a little more fair, but I still don't think it fully evens the playing field. Still, not paying taxes on private health insurance premiums and expenses is a start.

Obama is not the darling you thought he was. He is a thief - a veritable elected king - just like all those before him.
