Let 'Em Eat Cake.

It has often been said that the Democrat’s view of the solution to all problems and, indeed, even the salvation of the Earth is to raise taxes.

Right now there is a push to finance a, fundamentally flawed, national health care bill. In the grand tradition of the Democrat Party, the solution is simple, TAX SOMETHING. In this case, John Kerry of Massachusetts has proposed a plan that would place an excise tax on health insurance companies, driving up the premiums for those of us who utilize private health insurance.

Just like Cap-And-Trade, this will be a vicarious tax which will be passed along to the consumer in the form of higher premiums, making health insurance less affordable, thusly pushing health care consumers towards the, already troubled, national health care plan.

If HR 3200 is such a good plan, why isn’t congress lined up to sign up?

The fact is, if you read the health care bill, linked at the bottom, you will realize that it is a nightmare. The, unmitigated, hubris of our Congress and President, to believe that they can bring a workable national health care plan to the people where Canada and the U.K. have failed, is just astounding. Made more astounding when one considers that Congress and the President will NOT be forced to utilize this plan which would replace the top-of-the-line health plan that they all enjoy. The rest of us will be watching as our private health insurers all go out of business, forcing us all on to the national health plan envisioned by HR 3200. A health care plan in which bureaucrats will be making medical decisions regarding subscribers. A medical plan which embraces a culture of death as it encourages senior citizens to hurry up and die.

This health care plan, which will eliminate private health care, is good enough for the unwashed masses, but certainly NOT good enough for our legislators and President. If the peasants have no bread, then let them eat cake!

Clearly the Congress and the President continue to establish their kingdom as the rest of us are left to support their lavish lifestyles.
