The Road to Perdition is Paved with Compassion

Obama Care is a mistake. Look at the test systems in Massachusetts and Maine. Both are costing much more than predicted, have increased healthcare fees and are bankrupting their respective states. I do not think anyone can point to one example of a program that cost less than the amount government said. Big government is expensive in terms of the money it sucks from our pockets and maniacal abuses it foments from power hungry progressives. Our founding fathers understood the problems with big government and emphasized small government and self reliance instead.

Progressives say healthcare is the compassionate thing to do. They laugh and ridicule anyone who suggests otherwise. But is it? Obama Care basically takes from the rich and gives to the poor. In reality isn't that the same as giving a man a fish as in the old saying: "Give a man to fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime." The better and more lasting solution is to teach everyone how to fish, so they can become self reliant and pursue their own course to happiness.

Progressives use compassion as a fashionable, powerful, motivating and pretentious aphrodisiac to ruin this country. The party of NO should take pride in standing up for individual freedoms and fiscal probity.
