With a big tip of the hat to Tim Carney, who does great work in the trenches of DC.

So they tell you it's insurance. And then they take a portion of your earnings.

Then, when people lose their jobs, they give you back much more money than you had taken from you. How does it happen? They take it from other people.

A Nice Little List... This vote is going to be close, and could utterly destroy what's left of the health care market. Please call the offices of these politicians to tell them to vote against the federal medical fascism bill. These are the men and women who are on "the fence", and need to be convinced that the populace is not pleased by the idea of further federal regulation of health insurance companies and doctors.

These people never stop!

They call it "new", but is theft really a new concept?

Hmmm...

Now, we'd hate to sound suspicious, but really, what's the difference between a Prez appointing a judge in order to get a vote on a bill, and a Prez appointing someone in order to further a statist agenda? Does it really matter?

As we've been trying to tell the skeptics, these backers of medical fascism know this is their best opportunity to install the huge government system they want.

It's something the Republicans say they will roll back if they gain the majority after the next election. Does ANYONE really believe it will all be rolled back? Gard will discuss this fallacy as part of a larger production soon!

And guess what? It'll be housed at the Fed! Neat!

Anyone remember this line, written by a man named Jefferson over 200 years ago?

"He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance."

This one is a real whopper, keeping home prices artificially high, avoiding the Constitution, and assuming that the banks are the bad guys in the forclosure process. Incredible.

Once again, the leftist Republican faction shows itself. These jerks never learn, do they?

Paternalism is rife in both of those losing parties. You're too dumb to decide for yourself. You have to have your money extracted from you to pay for bureaucrats who have no profit and loss motive, and they'll take care of your safety. Yeah, that'll work!

Again, the twisted idea that what you earn is NOT YOUR OWN...

http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Taxes/blog/page.aspx?post=1651432

Remember, in order for any state (ie government through force) to exist, it must, by its nature, assume that what you earn is not yours to keep.

Voluntarism is the only ethical and proper choice, not state force.

You can't be serious! We've got that gubment to stimulate things and all those brilliant bureaucrats who know better how to spend our money than we do, and, and, and all that extra spending that will destroy our buying power and the buying power of our kids and grandkids, and then there's Joe Biden! Yeah! Joe Biden will make everything better!

And what about MSNBC and Rachel Maddow. Surely with her on the air to tell us how great things are getting, it MUST be better, right?

(dot, dot, dot)

As Sheldon Richman observes, the new Obama admin proposals include higher penalties for not buying health insurance. Why? Because the feds plan on forcing insurance companies to accept people with preexisting conditions. This, in turn, will prompt people to WAIT to get their insurance until after they get sick, which, in its own turn, will force the insurance companies to charge more, which will prompt more people to drop their policies until after they get sick, etc... So, the answer for this fascism applied to insurance companies? Fascism applied to the citizens!

MANY MANY republicans will go along with this regulation of insurance companies and individuals. They need to be taught a lesson at the ballot box if this happens.

We've been talking about this for a while. It signifies how those outside the US don't care to buy US government bonds, because they know the Dollars that will pay them back will be worthless due to inflation caused by the US government.

This is going to be a signicant event for liberty backers. It will give the statist politicians and their media acolytes the fodder they want to broad-brush the Tea Party movement as well as those who are even more principled in their opposition to the federal and state governments' shocking encroachments on individual liberty.

Big praise to Inestors Business Daily for getting on this!

Incredible. These people really have no shame. Shame would entail some sort of recognition that taking the earnings of others is BAD, and they seem incapable of this simple act. Mosts politicians are not just bereft of morals, not just amoral; they are immoral, anti-moral. They actively work against human progress and well-being, they actually favor theft while convincing themselves that such predation is moral. Amazing.

When will people begin to question this federal takeover of security at airports?

TSA agents have already forced a woman to remove nipple rings, stolen all sorts of loot, felt up people, and allowed all sorts of weapons to pass through their 'security' check points.

Can we possibly look for a different paradigm? Say, oh, the private market?

Very bad news. Seems people like Gordon Brown have been "inspired" by Barack Obama's announcement that he wants to apply a "financial responsibility fee" (crazy, but we call it a TAX, otherwise known as THEFT) to banks to "pay for the bailouts". Of course, we were told that the bailouts were "good investments" by numbskulls like NH Senator Juddy Gregg, but that's more than a day old, so who remembers such stupid things, right?

Here's the newest wrinkle in the ugly face of the state, or in this case, the ugly face of international plunder:
