Gobble ...gobble up your TAXES.... courtesy of the New Marxocrats...but substituting Smelly Pork for turkey


SENATE HEALTH CARE BILLS ARE THE REAL
TURKEYS THIS THANKSGIVING
Reid’s Senate version of ObamaCare calls for:
+ Hiding the $1.8 Trillion price tag by not
accounting for actual costs.
+ Major reductions in Medicare benefits to seniors.
+ Major Tax Increases on every American to pay for it all.
+ Reid called for increasing the Medicare payroll tax.
THE AAPS SURVEYS SHOWS THAT 70% OF DOCTORS
WOULD REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PUBLIC PLAN
IN THIS BILL

1) Harry Reid has had his bill for 6 weeks – shouldn’t the American
people have the same time period to review it and know what the bill
contains? After all, 2,074 pages isn’t exactly light reading.
2) Some treatments could be deemed unnecessary – A government
task force recently declared that mammograms for women younger than
50 were not recommended. The Health and Human Services Secretary
quickly backed away from her task force’s declaration, but under these
bills unaccountable bureaucracies would have vast new powers to
coerce doctors to follow their recommendations.
3) Young people would be required to pay higher premiums – A
study by actuarial firm Oliver Wyman found the restrictive new insurance
regulations in both the House and Senate bills would increase premiums
for young people by 69 percent.
4) Everyone would be forced to purchase costly plans – Requiring
everyone to purchase expensive health care plans with high premiums –
and not allowing people to choose affordable options that meet their
budgets and needs – would mean lower-cost high-deductible plans
would no longer be available.
5) Loads of new taxes – Nonpartisan experts at the Congressional
Budget Office (CBO) have concluded that new excise taxes on medical
devices would be passed on to patients, increasing insurance premiums
and increasing prices on everything from wheelchairs to pacemakers.
The tax increases in the Senate bill add up to almost $500 billion.
6) Expands Medicaid and shifts costs – The Senate bill would force
15 million Americans into the flawed Medicaid program, which 4 in 10
doctors won’t accept because the program
underpays providers. Studies show that expanding the program directly
increases costs
for everyone else, since doctors and hospitals must make up for their
losses under
Medicaid by shifting costs to other patients.
7) Taxes ―Cadillac‖ and union plans – The new 40 percent tax on
high-end ―Cadillac‖ health insurance plans (any plan over $8,500 for an
individual or $23,000 for a family) would force companies to shift costs to
employees or to reduce the value of the health benefits they provide.
8) Government-forced health care mandates on employers would
require employers to pay up to 8% higher payroll taxes in the House bill
and $750 per employee in the Senate bill. This will result in lower pay
and job losses, especially for low-income workers.
9) Medicare benefits would be slashed by over $400 billion, reducing
benefits for seniors and jeopardizing access to care for millions of
others. If these cuts do not materialize, then the bills will dramatically
increase deficits.
10) Millions will still be uninsured. Even though the whole health care
system will be turned upside-down, the CBO says at the end of 10 years
there will still be 24 million uninsured Americans under the Senate bill.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Democratic and Communist Parties U

http://amazon.com

Editor's comments:
To open Poetry is for Everyone is to open a window for a breath of fresh air. This is a collection of poems that say something—something needed to be said in words so polished that they are easily digested and seem to have been written with ease.

This is a book of poems to remember, poems that may cause a reader to nod and think, That’s just how I feel! Cover-to-cover, this refreshing book reflects the publisher’s vision to reach readers from all walks of life by presenting poems by poets from all walks of life. Readers will bond with country poets and city poets; well-known writers with established reputations, and “quiet” poets who may be offering their word-gifts for the first time. All share two common qualities: respect for readers, equaled by passion to write poetry that clearly communicates heart-thoughts and mind-stretching ideas—poetry readers can understand, want to read again, and share.

Since a poem is a reflection of its author’s background, each poet’s works are highlighted by his or her brief life story. By meeting authors before we read their works, we can better understand and appreciate their poetry.

This is a word feast for one and all. The contributors have brought their best poems as gifts to the table. It will be a favorite collection of those who are schooled in the language of poetry as well as those who have not developed a taste for poetry –until now. Some pages will bring laughs; others may bring tears. Welcome to a poetry feast with meaning and inspiration for everyone.

Marxocrats Vote To Destroy Healthcare!

In a highly partisan debate American Democrats in the House of Representatives took one more step toward destroying American healthcare. They found the 218 votes they needed to push though ObamaCare.
Obama, Pelosi and the Democrats have shut Americans out of the Healthcare debate and ready or not THEY RUSHED, PUSHED AND PASSED A FINAL HOUSE OBAMACARE VOTE ON SATURDAY without debate. The final bill vote had been delayed by a growing list of Democrats having ObamaCare remorse.

The OBAMA SHOCK AND AWE ATTACK LEGISLATION threatened enough Democrats to barely win the majority 218 votes. Pelosi is Ramming ObamaCare Down America's Throat!

The focus is now on the Senate and we must continue to tell Democratic leaders not to compromise on provisions that are leaving many questioning the viability of the bill.

Reid says ObamaCare cannot pass until next year now is the time to redouble our efforts, target Blue Dog Democrats be sure that all Republicans fight to KILL ObamaCare.

ObamaCare Must Be Stopped

Did Coburn make a mistake supporting the less conservative in California

The Republican state lawmaker running against former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina in California for a chance to square off against Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer in the general election says his GOP opponent embraces big government policies that involve "more borrowed money that our children can't repay."

California Republican U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina last week gained the endorsements of eight Republican Senators, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Tom Coburn, Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Jon Kyl, John McCain, Lisa Murkowski and Olympia Snowe.

In doing so, the eight Senators looked past the more conservative candidate challenging Fiorina in the GOP primary - State Assemblyman Chuck Devore, who is a Lt. Col. in the U.S. Army Retired Reserve, and was a Reagan White House appointee in the Pentagon.
DeVore says Fiorina believes in a different scope of government than he does. He notes she has said good things about the Wall Street bailout and supported aspects of the stimulus package.

William "Alfalfa Bill" Murray, one-time governor of Oklahoma


"Alfalfa Bill" Murray, ca. 1930.

William H. Murray (1869-1956), the colorful Democrat who occupied the Oklahoma Statehouse during the depths of the depression.
Murray acquired the "Alfalfa" nickname around 1902 when he was political operative for Oklahoma gubernatorial candidate Palmer S. Moseley*. Murray developed the habit of giving talks to local farmers about politics and farming, two subjects very important to early-twentieth century Oklahomans. Murray frequently gave these speeches on a large tract of alfalfa he himself had cultivated. An observer of one of Murray's speeches, one Arthur Sinclair, reported to the editor of the Tishomingo Capital-Democrat that he had just witnessed "Alfalfa Bill" deliver one of his finest speeches. Thereafter, this would be Murray's nickname.

Murray had a varied and interesting life. The following text has been taken from the jacket copy of a book written in 1968 by Keith L. Bryant, Jr. called "Alfalfa Bill Murray" (University of Oklahoma Press, out of print):



William H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray is the most important figure in the political history of Oklahoma. No other individual contributed so greatly to the formation of its political institutions—and no more colorful or controversial character ever strode onto the state's political scene. Flamboyant, unpredictable, and stubborn, Alfalfa Bill became a legend to several generations of Oklahomans.

President of the Oklahoma Constitutional Convention and author of many of the provisions of the constitution, speaker of the first House of Representatives, two-term congressman, and governor of the state, the Texas-born Murray made an indelible mark on his adopted state.

He also made enemies. During the struggle for statehood he waged a hard battle over the proposed constitution, taking on President Theodore Roosevelt and Secretary of War William Howard Taft, who said that the constitution's authors were a "zoological garden of cranks".

Later, as governor, Murray challenged the oil industry, newspaper interests, and the state of Texas. To enforce his programs he relied on the National Guard. During his tenure as governor, he called out the guard forty-seven times for duties ranging from policing ticket sales at University of Oklahoma football games to patrolling the oil fields and guarding the Red River Bridge. It was truly said that he "fought the depression with the National Guard".

Then, in 1932, he ran for the Democratic nomination for President, and his fame spread across the nation. Candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt offered a program for national recovery. Murray countered with "Bread, Butter, Bacon, and Beans." During the campaign Henry S. Johnston called him a "sun-crowned, God-gifted gigantic man." James T. Farley said he was "crazy as a bedbug."

Later his son Johnston Murray became Oklahoma Governor but Alfalfa Bill ran the show while Johnston concentrated on wine tasting.
The Blogmaster met Alfalfa Bill at age eighteen. Alfalba Bill and the blogmasters family had both migrated from Nocona, Texas before 1900.
He was a wonderfull old man as raciest as can be but then again we were all ignorant about that in those days. He would have changed as all men of honor did and been involed fighting for the rights of all. He married into the Chickasaw tribe and his dna flows in that tribe today.




* The blogmaster attended Bromide, Oklahoma schools with Palmer Mosley's grandson who incidentally was called "Gov".
