Read this, and try not to laugh too hard about the liberal conspiracies the article peddles. Then, realize that the Left is attempting to utilize a similar argument by stating that socialized medicine (or socialized medicine insurance, if you’re a revisionist nitpicker such as Nate Silver) would be beneficial for corporate America, and by extension, all of America.
The reality is that socialized medicine (insurance) is a product of ivory tower elitists and radical goosestepping unions. If corporate America really did want socialized medicine (insurance), it would already be here.
Corporate America, however, understands the health care system beyond the adequate yet simplistic moral standards the majority of Americans hold. Do we really want to place 16.7% of our nation’s economy into the hands of the grubby government? Do we really have enough money to pay for it, especially when our national debt is now at least $12 trillion?
America simply cannot afford to be spending money on social programs when the national debt is so high. (Besides, the free market will handle the social programs better, and without any cost to the American taxpayer.) Instead of contemplating on how we should combat nonsensical ’scam’ viruses, such as H1A1, or provide market failures with health products (be it market or non-market), we should instead be figuring out how to appease the Chinese bankers, so that they may not sic North Korea on us. Since raising taxes is completely out of the question, here are some solutions that I propose:
*Dismantle the AFL-CIO, NEA, UAW, and other criminal labor institutions, seize their funds, and use them to pay off the national debt. This should cover a couple trillion of it.
*Seize the property of any felon or ex-felon, so long as that property is not jointly-owned. If the property is jointly-owned, then the percentage owned by the (ex)felon or (ex)felons shall be seized and used to pay off the national debt.
*Dismantle the numerous bureaucracies, which take up vast amounts of expenditure for themselves. The holdings of said bureaucracies can be sold to the highest bidders, which will give the US government at least a few trillion.
*Dismantle the Federal Treasury, and return to the gold standard.
*Get rid of Amtrak, public schools, subsidized housing, food stamps, social security, and other ’social reforms’, and sell them to the highest bidder.
*Have the US military force Congress to sign the bill into law, and have the President carry out the deals. Once done, strip the Supreme Court of its power to change this law, or any law, in any way, and assert that it may only exist to uphold the law. The Presidency and Congress shall then be abolished.
*Enact a 15% flat tax, as proposed by Milton Friedman, with 10% of it going to pay for the military, a federal court system, and a federal police force, and nothing else. The state and local governments may each have their own levels of police and courts, although these may not be funded beyond a 5% flat tax. Therefore, the government cannot be in debt to the American people.
By all means, Leftists, lie about business support for social security and health care (that’s BUSINESS, not REPUBLICAN). Assail us with tired old canards that haven’t actually been vindicated. But one day, Real Americans will prevail! Mark my words, Leftists, you will NOT be destroying the opportunities of future generations!
