Why Bipartisanship is Just as Dangerous as Multiculturalism

“Suppose we avoid redistribution by requiring each person to pay for the annuity[insurance] he gets…what justification is there then for requiring him to purchase it [annuity] from a governmental concern [program]…why not permit individuals who wish to do so to purchase their annuities from private concerns [insurance companies]?” -- Milton Friedman, From Capitalism And Freedom, 1962

Today, February 25, 2010, President Obama held an alleged bipartisanship Healthcare Summit with House Democrats and Republicans concerning his government-run healthcare bill he wants rammed through the House and Senate with complete compliance from both parties. I say alleged, because there is no desire in the hearts or minds from Democrats to work for or with Republicans or the American people. Democrats, i.e. Progressives, have a history of ramming and cramming bills and laws—IRS, Federal Reserve—illegally into law under the noses of the American people they have kept blind for so long, many Americans believe government is supposed to take care of them and they are to follow whatever leaders say. In that case, all must learn to lie, steal, cheat on their wives, and buy their government position in Chicago. Strong-arming the people may have worked for Teddy Roosevelt, who forced corporations with threats of military action against them if they did not unionize. That tactic is no longer effective, nor is it brainwashing the minds of all Americans who are finally seeing the writing of their controlled health on the wall. Americans refuse to be bull-moosed by a socialist story-teller demanding America convert to European-style politics and lifestyles that have driven the EU into bankruptcy and ill health. The EU is proof bipartisanship, as well as multicultural ideas, destroys free will and sovereignty, further removing the personal liberties of people who elect politicians to office to serve the people, not dictate how people should live while catering to foreign cultures in order to gain votes. Bipartisanship demands lock-stepping to the direction of presidents and party leaders. Bipartisanship does not serve the people through separate party competition; it wipes out competition between the two parties, removes ideas, replacing inspiration with limitations. Bipartisanship creates one large bureaucracy of parliamentary-style leaders forbidden to disagree with the man in charge. Partisanship competition has a history of working. It founded this nation. Bipartisanship, like multiculturalism, forces all to comply and accept that which removes the Constitution in favor of unnatural law: suppression. Partisanship, in the same way as one culture living within one heritage, provides free-thinking, insists private liberties exist, create, and build a strong nation of individuals with choice. The opposite generates chaos and animosity. In his book Capitalism And Freedom, Milton Friedman discussed how the government controls American lives: “[T]he program known as old age and survivor’s insurance (OASI) consists of a special tax imposed on payrolls, plus payments to persons who have reached a specified age… 1. The requirement that a wide class of persons must purchase specified annuities, i.e. compulsory provision for old age. 2. The requirement that the annuity must be purchased from the government, i.e. Nationalization of the provision of these annuities. 3. A scheme for redistributing income…to which people are entitled when they enter the system…there is no necessity for these elements to be combined. Each individual could be required to pay for his own annuity; the individual could be permitted to purchase an annuity form private firms…” Friedman further noted: “The subsidy to the beneficiaries is independent of their poverty or wealth; the man of means receives it as much as the indignant. That tax which pays the subsidy is a flat-rate tax on earnings up to a minimum. It constitutes a larger fraction of low incomes than high. What conceivable justification is there for taxing the young to subsidize the old regardless of the economic status of the old…I see no grounds on which such a subsidy can be justified.” The phony bipartisan healthcare summit between Democrats and Republicans is not set up for healthcare access or Barry O would encourage Republicans and voters to demand legislators enact laws allowing citizens to obtain health insurance wherever they desire. Under the current bully system, Americans are forced to buy insurance in their own states, forbidden to purchase insurance across state lines. Under the existing structure, as Friedman pointed out, Americans are obliged to pay each other’s way rather than being self-sufficient as the Founders intended and signed into law. If Obamacare is passed, all Americans will be forced to acquire government-run healthcare insurance or face severe fines. That is bipartisanship: all go along or face penalties. House Republicans should have refused to appear at the “bipartisanship” summit. Nothing will be gained, Obama will never agree to Americans having rights to their own bodies and healthcare providers unless it is to abort as many unborn children as possible while forcing the elderly to die in favor of treating the young. The grand-standing summit was a complete waste of time, set up for termaholics to be seen on TV. If American doctors are not allowed to cure diseases, which scientists are prevented from actually discovering cures for, the answer to Obama’s summit ideas is the same-old-same-old: treat diseases with expensive drugs enriching pharmaceutical companies who do not desire to create cures. Creating cures would save lives and bankrupt drug companies. Money is more valuable than human lives. What makes any logical minded person assume this latest summit of manure will grant doctors rights to treat patients? Who truly believes patients will be allowed to make their own decisions about treatments and doctors if Obama coerces “bipartisan” “cooperation?” This is no different than multiculturalism demanding Americans learn to speak Spanish so illegals can take over America with foreign cultures Americans are expected to fall in line with or face being tagged racist. If Republicans refuse Obama’s bipartisan healthcare ideas, they will be called inhumane leaders who want sick Americans to die. It’s a shame dueling was outlawed.
