I built it, No we built it

The Republicans have shown their disdain for your Labor, if anyone needed reminded in their slogan “I built it” which they take from a deliberate misquote of a Obama speech. What Obama meant was that businesses are not just built with some businessman’s money, but also with the help of Workingclass laborers, who build his factories, work in his factories, drive the trucks that bring his product to market, build the roads those trucks ride on, the bridges the go over, build the electrical grid his factories run on, and so on you get the idea. When they say the “Government didn’t built it” , but as the first Republican said “That the government of the people, for the people and by the people” in other words you the people are the people who put up the money in your taxes, and your labor as workers to help built any business big or small in this nation. When they say Government they mean the working-people, but use a word they taught people to hate. The only reason that humans are still here is they labored together and together we built the pyramids to landing Curiosity on Mars. Together we can do anything as individuals we perish.

Stop Vouchercare before it starts

The Republican Convention is over, Romney still offered little to nothing of what he would do if elected President except more wars, but he did sign on to his running mates plan that the Repulicans pass through the House of Representatives. Under this plan as it was when Ryan put to Congress, Medicare would no longer pay for major medical bills, but instead would give you a voucher or coupon that could be used for the purchase of private insurance, the voucher would be insufficient to buy decent coverage, but that would be your problem. It would also do away with federal aid to Medicaid, which a lot of seniors depend on for home health care, also it helps care for the disabled, and helps pay for health care for poor women. Ryan will tell you that it give you the freedom to deal with health insurance companies for yourself, and of course that is the great American past time dealing with insurance Companies. Ryan will tell you the private insurance will provide lower cost through competition, if you look at international comparisons America has the most privatized healthcare systems in the advanced world and by far the highest costs. Ryan will tell you that they are not throwing you under the bus, we are throwing your children under the bus with Vouchercare, and your Grandchildren will be on their own. If you think the younger generation will put up with paying for coverage they won’t get I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale everyone would lose benefits.
