I must be becoming naive I thought dictators were in other countries but we have our own Mr. Obama and the Democrats who serve as his henchmen.

We are going to have a national health care whether we want it or not. We will pay dearly through taxes and fines loss of jobs in the health care industry due to the penalties and taxes they will have to pay and as individuals will have to pay a fine if they do not obey the mandates that the government orders.

If you do not pay the IRS under the orders of the government will garnish your pay and take your personal possessions and could put you in jail. They talk about it will be cheaper for the cost of insurance for the people because it will cause competition between companies and providers. I say that is a lie. I think that it will lower the quality of care that you will get. Insurance companies and providers have to make a profit to stay in business so to do that they will have to increase costs or decrease benefits or cut jobs in their company. So Mr. and Mrs. and Ms. Taxpayer be prepared to give some more of your sweat at your jobs to the Democrats give away programs in the form of taxes. So when you have a little time to reflect about old times think about the times you could make a choice without being prosecuted and the freedom that you use to have.

In closing I would to thank Rep. Joe Wilson with his courage to call it like he seen it. As a child you were taught that it was wrong to lie. But the Democrats are a master at it.
