John Kerry Ad

The other day I saw a political ad for John Kerry. While his typical socialist message was not surprising, it wasn't any easier to listen to.

The main message of this particular ad was healthcare. I realize that the healthcare system is a big mess, but his feel good liberal restructuring ideas would make it even worse.

To parafrase : "No one should have to struggle to get health insurance for their family...health insurance is every American's right..blah blah blah.

What he and all liberals want is socialized healthcare like in Britian where they don't pay directly for healthcare but are taxed to death for it. Healthcare is not a right. Just like most everything in this world, it is a privilege. Yes, people do struggle to get healthcare for their children and themselves. People struggle with a lot of things...to pay for college, food, clothes, a vehicle. Should the government buy everyone a car? Because some people can buy a car should they be taxed to buy a poor person a car? Of course not. If they can buy two cars, should they be forced to give one away to someone who can't? Of course not. But that is what they want to do.

It all goes back to the same liberal montra. Take from the rich and give to the poor.

They don't live in reality. The liberals want a society like in the story of Harrison Bergeron. They made everyone equal in all apects. If someone had great vision, they had to wear glasses that blurred their eyes. If they were really smart, they had to wear a device on their head that interfered with their brain waves. If they were strong, they had to wear weights. Is that how people really want to live?

Having the opportunity to be the best you can be...to strive for your goals and be rewarded is what made this country great. If there is no incentive to do your best, then you won't be. If someone who works hard to improve their life gets the same as someone who doesn't work, then what is the point in working hard? There is none.

So, if you want to live in a socialist country, move...don't make this great country into one.

This is one man's opinion
