old country politics

Healthcare

Healthcare, the Republican way

Insurance, If the government gives us a choice to buy a comparable insurance at a cheaper price then that would be unfair to companies that donate to my campaign fund.

Pharmaceuticals, Under this cheaper plan, generics would be more available; this again would cut into money donated to the G.O.P.

Hospitals, The people that have invested money will not be getting much on their return, so there for, we politicians will have less fund raisers thrown in our honor.

Doctors, They did not spend all that time & money to be driving a Chevy.

Listen, it is an option; you do not have to use it. Both sides of the aisle are being wine and dine not to let this measure pass. The biggest hammer the republicans are swinging on this issue is the government does not have to do this because the competition between insurance companies will bring the cost down. Like it did the last 20 years!
Please, take notice; all of a sudden we have commercials plastered throughout the media outlets that the pharmaceutical corporations giving away free drugs if you can’t afford them. The insurance companies are being a little cheaper with sweeter freebies.
Where the hell were they the last 5 years?
As of 06/17/09--- Republicans revealed their idea for healthcare reform;
incintives (which means tax cuts) & increase deductibles(Which is worhless, unless your an insurance company)!



What does it take for Democrats to win? Everyone vote

What does it take for the Republican to win?

#1 Stop poor people from voting.

#2 Inundate the religious right with scare tactics.
Which is kind of strange, I would think that if you were religious you would be against torture, war, & leaving the needy, to make it, on their own. Maybe you’re not breaking it down or hearing what the politicians are selling you.
Torture; You know I shouldn’t be surprise, the inquisition, Salem trials in which in order to stop the torture all you had to do is to confirm that you were in league with Satan and give them your land, house, money, and everything else, But , if you didn’t, they would kill you and take it anyway. I wonder how many, were really, the Devils Minions.
War; Everyone believes that 9/11 happen because of religious differences. At least that is the way it was sold to the Muslims extremists (in which they believe, those who don’t follow Gods word should be punished. Huh, I wonder what our own Christians believe.) and then to the people of the United States of America. But, I seemed to remember that when Kuwait was invaded by Iraq there was a rumor going around that Osama Bin Laden offer to help the Kuwait government for a small amount of cash. Reply- “Let us talk to the American Oil Companies”.
Cut Big Government Spending That’s right, quit giving money to the needy, cut unemployment & welfare. See if that was done then you could get rid of minimum wage and hire really cheap labor, right here in the good ole U. S. of A. it’s not your fault that’s what they’ll work for.
#3 Tax Breaks
Oh yeah, you want them for everyone and you call that fair. Please, tell me, what can of an accountant could I hire when I make 22k a year? Imagine, getting tax breaks for hiring people to make my products in another country then selling my crap here.

Personally, I don’t know how we can win. If we elect politicians, that does the right thing, then big business raises the cost of living to punish us, they will not lose the comfortable lifestyle in which their accustom to. Do you know a poor conservative? I don’t. Let’s face it, these people are not well liked. So, how do they overcome this speed bump to greater wealth? They trick saps in believing they found god!


Ronald Regan, are you kidding me?

“Hey, Obama is real popular, we need a popular republican”
“How about Regan?”
“Yea, they won’t remember the word that shall not be spoken”

Come on democrats say it “Reganomics”!

Reganomics- Giving big companies & wealthy land barons huge tax cuts so that it will trickle down to the poor people (By the way; listen to his speeches, watch his actions, as the governor of California he had special discontent for the poor people, he gave them pity and little else) but they seemed to have forgotten that most of the people in charge would hire in November, fire in February, and then pocket that extra money.
To date- It is no longer called “Reganomics or Trickle down effect”
Its new name? Tax breaks for everyone.

“We had the greatest economic growth under president Regan!”

The only real growth we had was in the financial market. The people that had money made more money, a whole lot more.

Yes, President Ronald Regan was popular. But, most voters of that era was his age and he was a movie star, which had a lot of big contributors because he was a movie star with their interest at heart. How in the hell could he lose? The only person that could have defeated him was Jimmy Stewart.

There’s a reason why the G.O.P. doesn’t use the word that shall not be spoken.


Taxbreak for Big Buisness

Hey Joe
It appears to me that the issue of tax breaks to big business; coupled with a failed oversight on Wall Street & the Housing Market, should bear the brunt of our economic woes.
Now the answers that are presented to solving this problem are;
Tax breaks to big business, which equals to higher dividends, not permanent job increase.
More money to banking & Wall Street without oversight and demands because that's socialistic idea.
A financial break which is in foreclosure because the last owner received a financial break to buy a house.
If someone didn't know better, they would think that the failure to report this was somehow a result of the news commentator being employed by a big business.
If I have the money and needed a product, I will buy it, there are millions of me. Do you think that might cause the company to hire someone?
I will not give a $100 tip to someone that made a thousand dollars last week doing a crappy job.
Why would I buy a house when I barley afford the apartment I move to because of foreclosure. But hey, maybe someone else can buy the house, rent it to me for 22% more than the mortgage is and I can cut down on buying the products that I need.
I wonder how many people are making less than $500 a week, 26k a year......? Millions I supposed.
$7.23 * 40hrs = $289.20 * 52wks = 15,038.40 a year
-home
-utilities
-auto
-insurance
-food
Gas + tolls + medical = One Broke Bee-Yacht-SSHHH!
Thank you!

Cost of trying to survive

There are a vast number of people who rent;

Houses, small business, apartments, lot rent in trailer parks, so forth & so on….

Now when the owners needed more money for a new car, house, or the interest on the mortgage went up, so that company, could pay a higher dividend, show more of a profit, pay executives more, or cover a loss.etc.etc.etc…. The renter can no longer pay his or her rent.

So what do you do when you can no longer pay rent because, you need to pay for other things & to other people who, had to raise the prices,plus, just a tad more, than the total increase of their business rent, interest rates on credit cards, mortgage, plus electric (because wall street thought oil was a good investment). Well someone will come along and offer you a home with a lower mortgage rate (a variable interest rate) than you pay in rent??? You take it, not realizing, on top of getting a variable ass-kicking, the money you are trying to save is going to the increase of food, gas, elect, medical, schools who also got varied.
And don’t get me started about any legal problems you might have like tickets, court cost, lawyers, ”government funded programs” which all have gone up 10% every year the last seven years. Mean while, your pay check shows a 30% increase altogether for the last ten. Any good news? YES! Embarrassingly you qualify for food stamps & welfare.
Before reganomics/trickle down I could afford a 2 bedroom apartment by myself working at Jack in the Box.
To prove my point since September 2008, when the banks suddenly needed money to cover their bad decisions, I had no late payments, interest rates went up. What was the reason?
Do you want to stop all this? CUT SHEER PROFITS.
All interest rates to 8%
Drop all rent 15% for living quarters, 20% for small business at the very least, rent should be no more than 3% above existing mortgage
Discount money owed to municipalities, limited time of course, everyone will try to get in on that deal to pay off what they owe for a fraction of the cost
Stop the money from trickling up, you will decrease government spending & taxes would paid quicker
If the cost living is adjusted everything else will fall in line.
