hello america! as a smoker, i am tired of picking up the tab for others & that's the bottom line. obama said he wouldn't raise taxes on middle class americans & then raised the taxes on tobacco products to help pay for his chips program. regardless of whose math you use, there are more middle & lower class american tobacco users then there are upper class. to sum it up: obama lied although there are those that will spin this to the ends of the earth to defend him. &, while you're defending him, just remember he said he wasn't going to sign any bills containing pork--another lie. & you must have heard about all those former lobbyists he hired--another lie. transparency--another lie. high ethical standards--another lie. surely you can't be that blind that you can't see the truth. & how can one forget obamas promise of an open & honest administration--another lie. who can forget obama at that caterpillar plant saying his stimulus bill would save their jobs--another lie. obama gets on tv telling us his stimulus bill has saved & or created 300,000 jobs & yet police & fireman are being laid off. look at his own home state (illinios)...chicago recently shut down the city--another lie. reading hospital in reading pa has laid off people & the city wants to lay off cops & firemen. philadelphia, pa where obama held his convention with gov rendel & the other govs wants to lay off 1,000 cops & about 300 firemen. so when you tell me your bill is working--it's another lie. &, the biggest lie of all; obama promised to get that stimulus money out the door immediately & yet, approx only 12% has gone out the door.
now we are facing his cap & trade bill, his card check bill &, his health care reform bill. all of them have created controversy because of the lies surrounding them. &, the leader of the pact spinning the lies is obama...........
his cap & trade bill will charge company's more & they'll pass that on to the consumers. why lie about it?
his card check bill is going to close a lot of company's that won't be able to afford unionizing thus costing americans their jobs. why lie about it?
his healthcare reform bill is a joke. it is filled with double talk. let's talk about a few of the issues::::
a. healthcare for illegal aliens---which american hospital doesn't have a plaque on its emergency ward wall saying that you cannot be denied emergency care? i guess obama wants you to believe that if his bill passes, these signs will be changed to say 'if you can't prove your an american, go bleed down the street' or 'have that baby in your own country even if the head is showing'. didn't the doctors take an oath to preserve & treat? obama wants you to believe that he has the power to over-ride that oath. if you're an illegal alien & you get in a serious car accident through no fault of your own, american hospitals will be forbidden to treat you. i'm not making this stuff up...can you imagine the police & firemen showing up at that accident, find out the injured people are illegal aliens, drag them to the side of the road, clean up the road mess & drive off? yeah, right. or, put them in an ambulance & 1/2 way to the hospital find out they are transporting illegal aliens, pull over & kick them out? we already pay for those that don't have healthcare coverage & it's not going to change. if obama can cram this down your throat & you swallow it, he can forbid firemen from putting out fires in an illegal aliens home. &, don't think the firemen won't let it burn down---remember MOVE in phily?
b. for tobacco product users to have to pay more for healthcare is wrong. alcohol plays a very big part in emergency rooms. but, let's not stop there. those that prefer trix to total should pay more. those convicted of speeding in the last 5 years should pay more. remember, it only takes 1 person to cause a massive chain-reaction on the highways. this list is endless & the easiest way to avoid singling out one group over another is to charge everybody---that's the american way. as the bill stands now, it's another way to raise the tax on the middle & lower class, again.
c. if sen baucus is allowed to put hefty taxes on the insurance companies the middle & lower class will bear the brunt of that tax. these companies will raise the premiums on its other insurance services i.e. home insurance, life insurance, car insurance, etc...so, when they tell you they are not going to raise your taxes---it's just another lie...
d. when you cut approx. 500 million dollars from medicare services, the elderly will bear the brunt of it. how can one call themselves american & cut services to our elderly? unless there's a government sponsored insurance, where are they to get the healthcare they need?
america, out of all of this crap there's one very important thing missing:::obama has yet to put his own bill out there. he's running around the country using 'fear' to get you motivated & he's blaming the repubs for the negativity his bill is receiving. he's also called those showing up at the debates 'un-american'. america, you voted this man into the whitehouse to be your leader &, here it is, almost 7 months since he's been in office & he has yet to have written a bill & presented it to congress. however, he will jump on the bandwagon of others---pattern of his life. how can the leader of this great nation get in front of the public & argue for or against a bill & yet, can't produce his own?
