A weekend of crap.

I am upset today after a weekend of news and crap journalism from our media. First off I received a link to a pie chart that showed that all three major networks had guests that were Conservative to a three to one rate. That’s 75% Republicans attacking the Affordable Care Act. I watched the news on MSNBC.

One of the guests said he had coffee with about ten of his smartest friends and none of them knew what was in the bill. I wanted to ask him why he did not prepare or study the bill before he went on national TV to spout his shit opinion!  I would refer all of you and them to this Government link. (http://www.healthcare.gov/law/timeline/index.html )  This should explain everything in easy to read and understand terms

I know that the CBO said this bill would save money over the long run. Trying not to be a partisan I would be skeptical of these assertions. Everything the Government does usually cost two to three times their estimate. Having said that I think that money spent on health care for Americans is a better use of tax dollars than more tax cuts as suggested by Governor Romney. My estimate would show the possibility of this bill spending 1/3 of the money that his tax cut would cost this country in revenue. That is only if every section of this bill is not implemented 100%. I don’t believe it will. Reading all the cost saving methods I find it hard to see how they can all be enforced 100%.

I would also like people who are against this bill to remember a better cheaper health care plan was rejected by the Republicans without any discussions. This, in effect, is their bill so if they are having problems with it they should blame themselves.

The second item on my mind today is the obscene wealth of the five heirs of Wal-Mart. They each have a net worth of between 25 and 30 Billion dollars. To put it in different terms 30 Billion is the same as 30 thousand millions.This is the reason we need a progressive tax system that taxes this kind of wealth at a high rate. These people cannot spend this kind of money in their lifetime. Carnegie built libraries, Bill Gates has already given away 60% of his fortune and so is Warren Buffet.  Nobel started peace prizes with his fortune.  What have the Walton’s done? Built an underground city to protect their families in case of riots or war.

These kinds of people hurt the economy. They actually take money out of circulation by accumulating their wealth. If this keeps happening they will just keep getting a bigger and bigger piece of the pie. Last year Wal-Mart employees contributed to an emergency fund for sick employees that needed help. They were able to donate six million from their measly wages. The Walton’s did chip in $6,000 of their own fortune to help really!
If the five Waltons would have given 1/5 of their income to the health care of their workers they could have covered all of their workers. They are too evil to do what is right. I feel it is the job of the Government to tax heavily corporations that make this kind of obscene profits.  These are not good people, are they?
In my own little way I wear my Anti-Wal-Mart shirt and try to convince people that by shopping there
They are hurting all people around the world. STOP feeding the evil beast! I would be happy to pay 15% more for products if they were made in America. I would even pay more if they were made in China and Walmart shared it's profits in the form of better wages of a good health care plan.

That’s all I have to rant about today. I am giving myself a headache and I am not sure I am making any sense at all. Peace Out!
