		<description>CNS News reports Obama&#039;s address to Freshmen @ Wakefield High, VA
&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama told the students that in the 1940s and 50s, “most of the wealthy countries around the world decided to set up health care systems that covered everybody.  The United States -- for a number of different reasons -- organized their health care around employer-based health insurance.”
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That is neither accurate nor is it impartial reporting of historical fact. The United States in the 1940s and 50s did not organize health care around employer-based health insurance; that did not occur until entering the 1970s. In the 1940s and 50s Americans bought catastrophic insurance policies should hospitalization be required, but paid out of pocket per doctor visit and for injuries like broken bones. It wasn&#039;t until Congress padded its own ass with gold plated health insurance coverage that other government workers started to demand employer based health insurance that began being serviced by Blue Cross Blue Shield, but ultimately the insurance industry decided to go the HMO route for purposes based upon their own profits, not based upon servicing either the patients best interests or doctors modus operandi at the time. That did not begin happening until government employees demanded similar consideration on a lower scale to what Congress gave itself. So you have state employees and later county and municipal employees demanding what Congress provided itself. Of course huge corporations used benefits to draw employees. 

For all of the above to have manipulated events to the detriment of small businesses and entrepreneurs is bad enough. But to go to the HR3200 length to strangle the businesses into bankruptcy by mandating that small businesses provide every benefit package that Congress deems the IRS can coerce, regardless of the business&#039;s income and inability to purchase mandated coverage for all employees regardless of employment status, proves the malicious intent of the Bill&#039;s sponsors and supporters.

If you submit to the IRS a minor error, obviously by accident, the IRS will refuse you any leniency, no consideration to be tolerated by the IRS under any circumstance, and the IRS will charge 40% penalties, twice the current rate. 

And that doesn&#039;t even begin to address the thousands of dollars fined from families earning too little to pay for what the Democrat/Obama HR3200 mandates. As if that&#039;s going to help provide those who can&#039;t afford to buy what it is that they can&#039;t buy. Families have modest mortgages and utilities, but because they manage to get by, they aren&#039;t given any consideration. I told you all that Obama would tax low income families just like Clinton took 1/3 out of a subsistence family of four income of $24K/year for the IRS Federal Income Tax (not counting state and local taxes), and Carter burdened the lower income bracket. Our interest rates for debt to pay for the loans to pay the taxes will be worse with Obama than the 24-32% interest rates the self righteous Jimmy Carter blessed us with.

		<description>Just realized I phrased my remarks awkwardly in the previous post.  I meant to say:

We should NOT let a President with Marxist employees beam Obama’s speech into American classrooms because:

1. Obama is a union man to the core.
2. Government schools are run by the National Education Association, a teacher&#039;s union.
2. The National Education Association is left-wing so it supports Obama’s agenda
3. Obama applies Saul Alinsky’s tactics.
4. The NEA promotes Saul Alinsky&#039;s books on its website:
http://www.nea.org/tools/17231.htm
5. The NEA has posted this (in my view, anti-American) document on its website [note the tattered American flag!]:
http://www.nea.org/assets/docs/EW-PuttingOurValuesToWork.pdf

When will SOMEONE in the conservative blogs finally take this information and run with it?</description>

		<description>My seven year old saw this yesterday.  I asked her what she thought of it.  She said it was boring.  I asked her what the President talked about.  She said, &quot;he talked a lot about himself.&quot;  Seven years old and that&#039;s what stuck out to her.</description>

		<description>Why should we let a President with Marxist employees beam Obama&#039;s speech into American classrooms?

Because of these facts:

1.  Obama is a union man to the core.
2.  Government schools are run by teacher unions.
2.  The National Education Association is a left-wing union that supports Obama&#039;s agenda
3.  Obama and his acolytes are enamored of Saul Alinsky&#039;s tactics.
4.  The NEA promotes Saul Alinsky on its website:
http://www.nea.org/tools/17231.htm
5.  The NEA has posted this (in my view, anti-American) document on its website [note the tattered American flag!]:
http://www.nea.org/assets/docs/EW-PuttingOurValuesToWork.pdf

When will SOMEONE in the conservative blogs finally take this information and run with it?</description>

		<description>Stay tuned tomorrow night for more adventures of the Joker takes Washington. Promises to highlight lies, deceit, fraud and the purge of communism in nations capital where employment is 150% and graft and payoffs are paramount. There&#039;s some sex but mostly in the halls of congress.

Will be brought to you by the DC AMA, where you&#039;ll be axed to stick out your tongue and say aaaaah. And this won&#039;t hurt.</description>

You never fail to be an idiot. Any reasonable person would think he changed the speech due to the uproar. But no one ever called you reasonable. Blush on beatch.</description>
