ObamaCare on the Rocks
January 14th, 2010 | by Sqotty |There is some good news coming out of the Capitol. The Health Care Takeover (ObamaCare) is hanging on by a thread. I like what the Hill reported:
“We’ve got to get a bill that’s more compatible to the House,” Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday. “Forget all the other questions. Two-hundred-eighteen [votes] is the most important issue we are dealing with… We have serious problems on both sides of the Capitol. Serious problems.”
Rangel succeeds in showing what this takeover is all about: power. When someone claims that the most important issue is getting the votes to pass a lousy (and I do mean lousy) piece of legislation, that person should not be allowed to hold office. Sounds like Rangel, the man who wants to draft kids again, is displaying his Congressional Moonbat credentials again.
Pelosi goes on to assert that a millionaire surtax is the best way to pay for it all. There has never been a tax designed for “just the rich will pay” that didn’t eventually trickle down to all working Americans. Remember, the income tax was supposed to only apply to the wealthy. Reality check: As soon as the Dems figure out that the so-called Millionaire Surtax is insufficient for paying the bills, they will lower the bar of who pays this additional tax.
Fear is also mounting amongst the power-hungry Democrats that next week’s special election in Massachusetts may send a Republican to the Senate, breaking the super-majority that the Left now wields in the Senate and effectively killing the best shot at taking over our health care. I hope that these fears bear fruit and we finally break the hold the Dems have on Congress so that the minority party will have a voice. Then we may see some bi-partisanship going on. Until that happens, the Dems idea of bi-partisanship will continue to be “our way or the highway”.
