Socialism is the goal of health care bill

The Obama administration is determined to get this health care bill rammed down the throat of the public despite the majority of people expressing strong disinterest in this redistribution scheme, one that circumvents those it is designed to help in the long run. Rationing will come.
Clearly, socialism is the aim. Do you ever wonder why the legacies of the past that, while not perfect, propelled America to the bounty she later became? National borders, the right of privacy and private property, family. All gone or fading.
Now comes more government to add to the carnage already racked up by its misguided ineptness, taking over yet another industry. Perhaps there are people and organizations behind this; after all, the collapse of the currency would ensure a new monetary alignment under a new global banking authority. These undeclared wars we engage in only expand the impact to federalize more and use terrorism as a cudgel to draw away more rights from the American people.
Putting all the kids to come into the deepest hole of debt ever is criminal and immoral. Resist this evil, fight for real capitalism; true price competition does more than any government entity ever could. Your kids' future is at risk.
