Sad Puppets

 I am so reminded of the Civil War...when dirt poor farm boys went out and died so that rich men could buy, sell, and exploit to death... African slaves, same game is being played but here it is... billions in Iraq war profits and now...Healthcare.
 So it is the poor should pay so that the rich, wealthy, and well-to-do can have the choice of subsidy from wage earners.  A woman with children should support a wall street executive, pay for his Viagra, he who has received a bailout bonus perhaps a million dollars.  A poor working woman who cooks, cleans, washes clothes, nurtures small children when she is not at work, should pay health care for a man with two homes and a yacht docked at a Lake in Michigan, where her tax dollars are already at work repairing the low water levels. Oh, and the public golf course at $200 per pop that she also helps pay for, the employees who cut grass so forth for without  her help it would be $400 per pop and Mr. Yacht Guy would have to change his cigar brand from Rothschild to Bahia.
This kind of thing happens in America, land of wallet envy.  I see people driving Porsches sneering at a homeless vet with a "feed me" sign, saying look at that guy he has so much free time.  Ahhh Republicans, can't live with 'em can't send them to a deserted island...
 Many people who have taken the work of stopping progress towards health insurance do so because of political affiliation, political opposition has focused on this issue, but as usual there are real forces- money sucking forces- behind the scenes, like the war profits people [as if any sane person could argue against coverage for everyone and limits on how much money can be charged for medical care---i won't even remind them that every licensed practitioner only does so because the poor taxpayer woman has helped educate and train them, and the license itself is a  privilege granted by all of us, the public...and do you really want people to get rich by simply charging more and more for something like...life; haven't we learned anything from the OIL people... ] and speaking of high sulfur content

I give this friendly advice to my Republican fellow citizens, from concern for them all, it's hunting season soon, better shave them horns!

Here is a word of warning to you my Democratic Friend. The sad thing is your lack of appreciation for 8 years of protection in your own country, the protection that kept your right to "write" alive. Otherwise your prescious party may well have gone, by now, the way of the dino. Lost and forgotten in better times. Democrats are a group of crazed animals and should all be delt with in the way you would a rabid rancid rabbit.

8 years of fear will produce ideas like this, I think if you believe that crippled, air monitored, no-fly zone--no missles, no weapons of mass destruction-- Iraq was a threat to the US under Saddam, then truly the task of bringing a nation back to reality will be difficult...that government was so powerless it sat there and watched an allied force assemble on it's borders...could not lift a finger...

No, the last 8 years was about feeding your and my future to political allies of the war machine.

we could have used $1trillion a lot better than buying a ringside seat to the Iraq civil war, oh..and no they want us to leave...urgent oil business and such...

Really, thanks for taking time to comment, I appreciate it...H
