Better Dead Than Red
"Better dead than red." I remember that phrase growing up. There was never any doubt what it meant. The reds were the Soviet Union and communism. It was a much simpler time when we had a common enemy. America united against the expansion of totalitarianism, government run economies, and the shadow of the mushroom cloud seem like a walk through a children's playground compared with what we are being forced to swallow. We have elected a government that sole purpose is to descend into the same Soviet system we fought so hard to eliminate.
It started with the simple takeover of the banking system. Control the money and you can make people dance to what ever tune you want. Set the game like the mafia so you can never get out from underneath the thumb. You can repay the loan but never cut the strings. Next you pump billions into General Motors and set the same mafia rules into place. It is a matter of waiting until the cash is squandered and they take over the dominant car company. Once the inevitable bankruptcy is declared, you own the company. Now you can dictate what cars are built and force American built cars into whatever avenue you wish. It is no longer customer demand that will drive what is built. It will be some eco-fringe group that whispers into Obama's ear for the new era of vehicular transportation. And no matter how bad it fails, the tax payers will be on the hook to keep the corpse alive.
Now we have the government trying to take over our health care system. That will allow them to determine who lives and dies. The power of life and death which the Soviet Union held near and dear to its heart. Can anyone say Siberia? Who needs the KGB when you can use any one's medical files against them? Once they are able to control what kind of care anyone can get, those who cannot provide any economic benefit might as well immigrate to passing icebergs. Need surgery? Better take an Internet course.
The flip side is a huge black market for medical services for those who can afford to pay. Americans can be resourceful when need be. While those who refuse to be responsible wait in line for band aids and aspirin, those who do will be finding new ways to stay healthy. Of course, the government will find some way to make it illegal. So much for freedom and the Constitution.
