Spoon: I read your posts. And healthcare bills too!

And I agree with you, Spoon. The extra tax is the worst part of the bill.

Maybe Obama just figured if everyone else is gonna make shit up he can too? I mean, really. You gotta take the higher road here. Did he even read the bill?

And what's with the people yelling at town hall meetings. Its one thing to yell at a legislator and get rowdy. I'm cool with that. Its another to start reciting the pledge of allegiance at them. You won't get anything done.

Also, here's a hint. Asking a legislator "Have you actually read the bill?" is a good thing. Asking a legislator that when YOU HAVEN'T takes away the moral high ground. Because you can say "This is in the bill" when it obviously isn't.

Although the one I was at the congressman started arguing with the guys and NEITHER of them had read the bill. Especially when they started citing sections 122b (which refers to essential benefits) as the part about death panels.

I don't care if you don't like the bill. Or if you like the bill. But when you argue over it, ACTUALLY READ IT first. Thank you.

Amen. Read the damn thing. Especially when it's your fecking job.

This is about all I know about America's predicament. Sorry for not giving too much of a shit. Enjoy your bloated bureaucracy, you dumb Yankee bastards. And don't think those "Republicans" are going to help you. They're no different than the "Democrats." They're just against "big government" right now because the "Democrats" have control of the government. Each party takes turn raping the people. You have both taking away social freedoms and economic freedoms in order to enforce social stability and economic stability. Even though enforced stability isn't stability. But that people don't know that so it's alright to fuck them over.
I for one am not going to read the bill because I'm not a masochist who enjoys feeling their brain rot away as a result of reading bureaucratic nonsense. I know for a fact that it'll just add bureaucracy onto the mammoth bureaucracy already in place. How do I know this? Because that's their track record, unbroken since Nixon. Why can't the USA have another president like Nixon? He was brilliant. (For a politician, anyway.) Stopping American intervention in Indochina, removing the tyrannical restraints on gold placed by the stupid tool called Roosevelt, fucking the USSR by embracing China and the other amazing crap he did. Yes, he was corrupt, but which politician isn't? You have to be corrupt. It's like a requirement for the presidency. The only ones who aren't corrupt are the fringe crazies like Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.
