Some troubling plans are showing up in the political realm. The concept put forth by Congress recently about forcing US Citizens to buy health insurance has more than a few problems.
So here are a few questions I would like answered:
1. Where in the Constitution do those in power draw the idea that they have the power to demand that we buy anything? The foolish linking to car insurance has a basic flaw.
If you have no car you need not buy insurance. With health the requirement is simply that you be alive.
2. What happened to the rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
3. Our country was set up with the concept of our leaders being our servants, when did those who supposedly represent us become unrestricted masters?
4. With the President and Congress squalling about the terrible insurance companies, why are they not only bailing out AIG, but also demanding that everyone buy insurance from these companies? Politicians seem to be speaking with a forked tongue.
5. Are there any representatives in government that still understand that they are supposed to be looking out for us?
6. Are our leaders so out of touch with reality that they don't understand that as people lose the ability to earn a living, increasing taxes, fines and fees only makes matters worse?
7. The actions of government these days seems to be against the American people, are our representatives, friends or enemies?
