Obama's Plan??

Just what does President Obama want? What are his plans? Is the health plan he proposes the best thing for the average American citizen?

Personally, I don't like it. The whole plan smacks of socialism and each day reminds me more and more of that other ism that died in Russia, but still lives in China and North Korea. The middle class of America are already taxed to the breaking point. And Mr. Obama's plans, no matter what he is saying now, will eventually cost the middle class more taxes. Middle class Americans are now bearing a heavy tax burden, yet they are not able to get any help from the government when they are in need of it.

Each year at tax time the middle class, working citizen is forced to pay taxes to the IRS, while some sit back and wait on their Earned (UNEARNED!!) Income Tax Credits to roll in. The middle class, working citizen struggles to make ends meet, while those receiving the "unearned income credits" buy new furniture, cars, appliances, and jewelry with the money earned by the sweat of the middle class citizen. Such I fear will be the case with Mr. Obama's health care plan.

The middle class will pay for this ill conceived plan, and will not be able to "enjoy" what they pay for. I fear we will go the way of Canada and England, with those needing care placed on waiting list, until their illness reaches the point where treatment will do no good. Then they will be left to die without the benefit of needed medical attention. If anyone thinks the federal government is capable of running a health care plan efficiently, they have only to look at the medical services offered to our military veterans. Men and women who have been wounded and maimed, must fight a daily battle for medical services they so dearly deserve. If the federal government will treat their military men and women so callously, imagine the fate of the average American citizen in need of medical services if we are under a government run medical system.

It is time American citizen voice their opinions, like the people in Little Rock did. Let the senators and congressmen know we do not want this health care package. Black folk, do not be bound by a sense of loyalty to Mr. Obama because he is black, you owe no debt to the Democratic Party. In fact you owe no debt to any political party. Americans of all racial and religious backgrounds, must united and oppose Mr. Obama's plan. If he and those lawmakers supporting him fail to act in a responsible manner; remember the power of the ballot and vote the rascals out of office.
