Economic Royalists


The American government -- which we once called our government -- has been taken over by Wall Street, the mega-corporations and the super-rich. They are the ones who decide our fate. It is this group of powerful elites, the people President Franklin D. Roosevelt called "economic royalists," who choose our elected officials -- indeed, our very form of government. Both Democrats and Republicans dance to the tune of their corporate masters. In America, corporations do not control the government. In America, corporations are the government. Larry Flynt.

Larry has a clear view of our current politics.

Obama as a force for removal of freedom & choice? Taxing the wealthy.


This from a friend in re Obama:
I find it very ironic that the first black president is trying to make us all a slave of the goverment, take away our right to choose,make all of our decisions from cradle to grave, I will never vote for him,did not vote for him and will do all I can to defeat any policy that takes away my freedom.

ME:
The way I see it, we're slaves to the wealthy, who, in the end, sway most decisions made for us and REALLY don't have our best interests in mind। Fight for them to pay a MUCH greater portion of taxes from the wealth they're building off OUR backs।

Health Care Reform - Real Choice with the Status Quo?


Who has real choice in health care insurance now?

Employers choose for employees.

Folks with pre-existing conditions have no good choices and can be restricted from moving to better positions for fear of no coverage.

Folks with severe conditions go broke with the deductibles and co-pays, then tap out on their policies to find no other options.

Employees whose employers don't provide coverage are often low-wage earners who can't afford their own coverage.

Folks who have insurance are dictated to by the insurer as to when they can see specialists.

Folks whose deductible is well out of their means have no choice.

Folks without insurance mainly have only the emergency room, unless, of course, they're wealthy.
