Ayn Rand

I have recently finished the book, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I have to say that it is the most profound book I have ever read! It reads like a novel based off of our current situation, yet it was written in the 40-50's. Is it that the times she wrote of then has come around again? We have those who produce, they are the ones who make things succeed. Then we have the looters who drain and abuse the ability of the producers. I have been thinking about the book ever since I read it, I have a wish to be a producer and not a looter or anything near that. My next biggest fear is that I will not have enough influence to convince my children to do the harder thing of being a producer. Can I make them aware of those out there that will drain them of their right to success? It is funny how the work of those in the past can still be so relevant.

I still can't get a answer

The question i have is if government can't run cash for clunkers. HOW CAN IT RUN HEALTH CARE, there are so many things that are broken with government don't you think we should try to fix whats broken.

How is this administration going to increase the numbers of doctors to handle the increase of demand. When the government starts to push preventative medicine, it will require that each doctor handle more patients. How many minutes will it take for the doctor to say your over weight, you need to watch what you eat and exercise more. Then if you have any complaints you do have you will be rushed through so that the doctor can move on to the next patient. there isn't any real answers coming to help you, your just getting empty words. We need the cost for health care to come down, this is done by lowering the cost of liability insurance. Tort reform, in the form of a loser pays system. next for individuals who sue should get medical coverage as part of the law suit and a modest penalty to the individual to compensate for suffering.
these are answers, why is it someone as simple as myself could come up with this.

Doers and looters

Today we are at a crucial point in the history of man, we are at a point where looters and doers have balanced out. In the history of man life was so much more adverse, if you didn’t struggle there was a good chance that you would parish from the face of the earth. There were always the looters who made it on the backs of the doers, either because of the doers kind heart or the looters ability to manipulate facts or the situation. As civilization refined itself and the industrial age came about , the doers had more and became more altruistic. This made it easier for the survival of the looters, who also stared to more into positions of influence. Allowing for the ever increasing amounts of loot gained and for the start of generational looters. The doers had outnumbered the looters, but the looters were now able to increase in numbers. When community and family charity was taken over and nationalized to federal welfare, the looters had won a great victory and the doers out of the love of their family and community did nothing. With the technological revolution, the doers had profits and wealth, this allowed them to raise their standard of living. It also gave more ability for the looters to increase their powers, using terms like for the children they have taken money out of the mouths of the doers children. With terms like, for the elderly they have created the HMO’s that are now the cause or out struggling medical system. The looters come up with a plan to help the economy, they end up putting the brakes on capitalism and the jobs that support the doers go away. This has now brought us to the point that through fear mongering of the doers, the looters are equal in influence. The precarious state that we are in is a step towards socialism and the loss of a truly free society. But this president has made a big mistake, he forgot a main rule of the looters of the past. Steal from the doers a little at a time. We the doers are starting to awaken and become aware. We the doers in the form of the tea party movement are tired of the two parties who promise everything to get themselves elected, yet deliver nothing but entitlement program that drain the pockets of the doers and support the looters. We are sick to our stomachs when we see healthy young people fill out papers to fraudulently get welfare. The mentality of the doers is one in which we help our neighbors, the federal protects us so we can take care of our own. Our current president , along with the looters in congress are trying to make a society that is dependant on the government from cradle to grave. I say enough, if this is kept up there will be no doers and only looters and our great experiment in freedom will fail. If you believe in freedom and you’re a doers then it is time for action, regardless of party you should go and join the Tea party movement.
Because it is time for the doers to bring freedom back to the free!

Healthcare at the point of a gun.

Healthcare at the point of a gun, that is what the government is offering the American people. You see the problem starts at the point where people say healthcare is a right, a right is not something that the government can give. To provide healthcare someone must pay for it, it will be the American people through income taxes, increased fees to your insurance and the increase of taxes to corporations.
The right that people are claiming will be paid for by taking it; if you don’t want to pay it th government can force you too. They can come to you and at the point of a gun seize you assets, property or whatever they need to pay it.
In the constitution you are guaranteed the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness this is the only thing that government can guarantee. They do it by making sure that people don’t take from you or are punished for doing it.
Even in the law where is says you have the right to an attorney, they can’t make an attorney represent you. They have to pay or persuade, but that lawyer can at anytime quit or decline. So in truth it is not a right.
The biggest problem with this healthcare is that they plan on forcing you and companies to do as they see fit. If you’re a well to do person you will be forced to pay more, if you’re the owner of a business and you don’t pay for healthcare and can afford it you will be forced to pay a “penalty” and if you’re able to buy a good insurance plan your going to be charged more so that those who don’t have can benefit from you.
Last and not least you will have to pay more because, business don’t pay taxes they get money from you and pass it to the government. So even the poor people will pay more (what that wasn’t obvious), through the increase cost of products.
Healthcare from the government, the only entity that can come and take from you for others at the point of a gun.

The cash for clunker has me asking, when do we get a cash for clunkers for our government?
I would like to trade in my current money guzzling Government for one that is more efficient. I currently have a Government that just can't keep running without me putting more and more into it and still more things break.
When my Government started it was all nice and new, it had some problems but the bugs were worked out and it started to run great.
Then in about the 1930's - 1940's it started to break down, the fix seemed to be put more attachments on it (social security as an example). My Government was able to struggle through the hard times of the 60's and 70's where no one seemed to take care of it, but just added more attachments to try to fix things (the war on poverty). In the 80's there came a mechanic who took many of the attachments off and we saw the government start to run more efficiently, we all started to say hey maybe this Government is going to run good?
Then came the 90's where we say our Government on loan to all the other countries to drive, just like so many old clunkers that you loan out to friends.
After the turn of the millennium our country was sideswiped, since then we have struggled to keep our damaged clunker of a Government running.
Our previous president kept it running after the devastation but put way to much in attachments. instead of putting it in to fixing the engine.
We saw the election of an individual who said he could change things, yet instead of our clunker government getting things fixed it got a paint job. Much has been set aside for the future repairs to our government, yet we see our leaders getting spinners and a booming stereo as they load more and more onto the load that the Government must carry.
How much more can the Government carry before it breaks, why do those who come in office fail to fix the engine of our Government even after so many promises. The only program I want to see coming our of Washington D.C. is a cash for clunkers for Government so I can trade in the broken one I have now!

A letter to the D.N.C. / Citrus county D.E.C.

To the head of the Democratic National Committee and Citrus County Democratic Executive Committee. I am asking for a confirmation that the Tea Party Movement is in line with the policies of the Democratic Party. In the previous eight years the people in Hollywood, Code Pink, the Daily Kos and Moveon.org followed things said by people like Senator Hillary Clinton. who said “"WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DEBATE AND DISAGREE WITH ANY ADMINISTRATION!" ,as well as many of the Democratic Party who supported radical groups speaking out, throwing things and interrupting speakers. Your tactics are effective and we are starting to follow them now. We in the Tea party are protesting and speaking out, isn’t this is what your party suggested? If I’m wrong please let me know! Did you appreciate when supporters of the Democratic party blocked traffic in the streets and interrupted the daily lives of people to protest the war and the previous presidents policies? Our members are now attending the town hall meetings held by Democratic leaders, Aren’t you happy that we are there listening and giving you feed back. I understand the President is so proud of us following Democrats example of free speech that he has asked for the unions to help. I’m asking for confirmation that the policies your political party used is O.K. for the Tea Party movement to use now, I would greatly appreciate word from you on this. You could put it in the Chronicle or come to the next Rally that is planned for the 12th of September. The truth is I expect that you will respond with some kind of demagoguery, or you can help change the face of things by being truthful and saying yes we did this and you should too but I won’t hold my breath waiting.
Sincerely, Jimmie T. Smith

Question

In this single payer plan who is the single payer?
Notice that point of the equation is often left out, because the single payer is the government. Where will the government get the money to make the payment for any and all healthcare? It will come from you and I.

A new Cash for Clunkers program

Taxed to give to others.
$8000.00 for people buying houses, $4500.00 for those who turn in their cars for clunkers.
Program after program is coming out of this Obama administration and their answer is that the rich are going to be taxed to pay for it all. Yet with the increase in cigarette taxes and the increase of the daily cost of living going up, with the proposed cap and trade it isn’t just the so called rich that are going to pay for all these new and pork barrel programs.
Individuals who smoke tend not to be rich and each and every one of us will pay for this increase , but the Democratic party will convince millions that this is a good thing and the will of the people. We ignore that medicare is going bankrupt as is Social security, they have used a slight of hand trick to blind you of the current failings of government.
Let’s face it they think the average person is dumb (lacking intelligence or good judgment; stupid; dull-witted), they think they are the only ones who will come up with the answers. But what they don’t know is that it will be the average citizens who will throw off the blinders and take the government back.

You see it in the fact that people are angry that the government is taking our hard earned dollars and giving it to others so that they can save on a car, if you want me to spend money on something all you have to do is stop taxing us so much. We will spend our money when we actually have it to spend.

$16,000.00 plus I paid in taxes and all that money could have been used by me to buy the things I NEED and provide a safe home life for my kids, yet the government takes it and hands my hard earned money to others to get cars. What did I get?
I think we need a new cash for clunkers, how much will I get on a trade in for my current money hog of a government.

When will they say thank you

I am an average American, I go to work, I come home and I try to be a good man to my family. I earn a decent pay, I take the money home, and I pay my taxes. Last year I payed $16,000 in taxes, as I see it now I paid for two people to get money from the government so they could buy a house, I also paid for four people to get money for their clunkers. You see i have worked hard, paid money to our government in the hopes that they would provide good roads and other needs. I at no time wanted to pay taxes so someone could buy a car or get extra from me to put on a house, so I have one quiestion. When will they say thank you to me and all of us who have worked hard and contributed to our government, will we get a card or a letter? we will get what those of who want little to nothing from the government, we will get the shaft. We will pay taxes so others can get over on the system. I just want someone in America to tell people like us thank you.
