Under Attack!

I heard something on the radio yesterday that made me angry. It was a rally in Ohio where President Obama was trying to gain support for his health care bill. He told those people that if the bill passes, insurance premiums for employers to provide health care for citizens will be reduced by 3,000%. Yes, he actually said three-THOUSAND percent. He followed that statement up by telling the people that the extra money saved would allow their employers to give them a raise. Of course this statement was followed by cheers and applause.

Now think about this. If I have a health insurance premium of $6,000 per year and it is reduced to zero, what is the percentage of that reduction? Answer: 100%. YOU CANNOT REDUCE THE PRICE OF SOMETHING MORE THAN 100%. Think about it. If you went to Old Navy and they had a sale on $50 jeans for 100% off, the jeans would be FREE. If you reduced the price 200%, Old Navy would then owe you $50.

Back to the heath insurance example. If Obama is right and employer's would see premiums reduced by 3,000% for insuring their employees look at this. If we use the $6,000 figure as an average, the insurance companies would then owe employers $180,000 for each employee each year. Instead of us paying $6,000, we would GET $180,000 if Obama's statement is true.

There are only two possibilities here: 1) Obama is a complete idiot and doesn't know the first thing about math or percentages and how they work OR 2) Obama is intentionally lying to us in order to pass this bill assuming that we are all idiots.

I don't think the man's an idiot. I do think he is INTENTIONALLY lying to us. I believe he thinks we are all too stupid to take care of ourselves. I think he believes he knows what is best for us and that the government is the best way for us to be taken care of. I believe he is dangerous and truly intends to destroy the very foundation of freedom and free-market enterprise that this country was founded upon.

I continue to be amazed at this man's arrogance and disdain for our freedom. If you avoid politics because you aren't interested or don't see how it directly impacts your life...you are as much to blame for the internal destruction of this country as Mr. Obama is. Wake up and see that your way of life is about to be changed forever. Our economy and our freedom will not survive this attack if it isn't stopped.
