Health care for all is theft

I find it disturbing when some people, usually liberals, say we have a moral obligation to get everyone health care. And the way they think, or don’t think, is that we should enact this belief in an immoral way. It’s called stealing: taking money from someone without their permission and using it for your own means.

That is what redistribution of income is: thievery. This new, wonderful moral obligation is pitting groups of people against each other like never before. Our country’s morality is going down the toilet because of forcing people against their will to give or receive something at the expense of others.

Most of us have worked hard to get where we are by paying our bills, going to school, learning a trade, helping our neighbor, being responsible, earning and paying for our health insurance as we earn our pay. The new “liberal fascism,” or “change” we can do without, encourages taking advantage of others, forcing them to pay underhanded fees and taxes on an unprecedented scale.

Call Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Sen. Patty Murray and Sen. Maria Cantwell (especially the senators) and let them know your disgust. Health care reform can be done without the immoral ball and chain of dummy-down progressive socialism.
