Health Care and the Apparatus of Violent Compulsion and Coercion – Government
When it comes to violating a person’s life liberty and property governments reign supreme—and it doesn’t matter what brand they come in. Whether they call themselves a dictatorship, socialist commonwealth, workers’ paradise, state capitalism, consumer capitalism, Nazi or fascist regime, democracy etc. makes no difference. If you added up the number of people killed by violent criminals and compare it to the number of people murdered by one of government’s favorite activities, war, I am sure you would be astounded.
Let’s face the tragic facts. Liberty-violating Democrats care nothing about the constitution or the marvelous principles our founding fathers built the foundation of our once great nation on. In fact, these abusers of all that is just and sublime continuously spit and piss on our constitution and the American people for their daily pleasure.
Here’s a perfect example of their treachery. “Senate’s 10-year health fix would cost US $856B.” For the rest of this liberty-violating, sorry-ass story click here.
Now the $856 billion price tag seems rather extravagant. Of course, you’re intelligent enough to know that when it comes to government spending the price tag ends up soaring to ridiculous heights. For an accurate estimate of the cost add another zero—which places the exorbitant cost around $8.5 trillion.
However onerous their drunken orgy of spending is—something else in the bill makes it even more horrible. Here it is. The bill by Democratic Senator Max Baucus Chairman of the Finance Committee, would make major changes to the nation’s $2.5 trillion health care system, including requiring all individuals to purchase health care or pay a fine, and language prohibiting insurance company practices like charging more to people with more serious health problems.
Do you understand the implications of this unwarranted invasion on your life, liberty and property? Comrade Baucus wants to use the apparatus of violent compulsion and coercion, government, to force you to accept their Nazi health care plan. I guess it’s too bad he can’t revive Dr. Josef Mengele and appoint him the new “Heath Czar.”
Do you know why government is the apparatus of violent compulsion and coercion? Well, here’s the reason. Even in a social system of unhampered capitalism where objective law relegates government to its only legitimate function, protecting an individual’s life, liberty and property, it would be necessary for it to use force to arrest and prosecute criminals.
Giving a dangerous entity such as government massive power is a delicate affair. You’ve heard that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Well allowing government any powers beyond that of a night watchman or the “Maytag Man” is giving it a permanent license to commit horrendous violations against innocent human beings.
Sarah Palin mentioned something about “Death Panels.” Many people laughed her off as some kind of right-wing nut. I have news for you. She may have hit the nail on the head.
Let me ask you this question. Are you satisfied with the way the political and financial establishment “runs” our economy? Obviously the government with the help of the inflationary policies of The Federal Reserve System fostered the boom and bust cycles that placed our economic system on life support. How do they treat the comatose patient? They inject more poison in the form of bailouts and artificially low interest rates into his veins. Do you honestly believe they’ll treat live human beings any differently?
Here’s another question. Do you really think they’ll handle our health care system anymore efficiently? If you do then you are lost in a world of illusions—and these are the kind of illusions that torture and kill.
When it becomes obvious that government health care is hopelessly inefficient— innocent, helpless people will have to die. Who do you think decides who lives and who dies? It will be evil, power-hungry representatives of that apparatus of violent compulsion and coercion, the government.
I hope you are properly frightened enough to say a resounding no to government run health care. In fact its time to permanently say no to big, bad government and restore the glorious vision of our founding fathers—the vision of the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
