29. IRS Health Care

Pelosi has rolled out a second version of the House health care scheme.  The first version was 1200 pages.  This version is 200 pages.  The difference?  More regulations, more taxes.

The announcement came with the usual quota of lies:

-- It won't increase the deficit (it will cost trillions)

-- It will increase health care (reduce it by instituting rationing)

-- You can keep your insurance (private insurance will be driven out of business by the non-profit "public option")

-- It won't raise your taxes (the bill is full of new taxes)

-- More and cheaper health care (20% cut in Medicare means less care)

-- Won't impact private insurance companies (it will destroy them)

-- Etc., etc.

The IRS (the most feared agency in the government) is put in charge of enforcing compliance with the health rules, and collection of new taxes:

-- Taxes on employers

-- Taxes on those who don't buy insurance
(and prison sentences)

-- Taxes on those who buy insurance

-- Taxes on insurance companies

-- Taxes on rich people

-- Taxes on "medical devices", including tampons and condoms (Tax toilet paper in Version 3?)

The IRS will control and enforce government health care.

The aim and goal of this health scheme is the destruction of the capitalist economy. It is collectivism in action, enforced by the IRS.  It is what Obama meant by "change".

Welcome to fascist health care.

 

Obey Obama!  Obey Obama!

23. Let Them Die

Robert Reich, a member of Obama's economic transition advisory board, in a speech in 2007, discussing government health care, said that if you're very old, and care is too expensive, then "we're going to let you die."

This is government health care? No, it is government euthanasia, or genocide, wherein "we" (Reich and his government death committees) will "let you die" to save money.

This is fascist health care. The people are considered as commodities, accounting units, the property of the government, as things to be used for government purposes, as objects that are fit to live only if they are "socially useful".

6. What To Call It

The Obama regime has been called by many names. Any of the following might be appropriate:

Socialism
National socialism
Fascism
Corporatism
Communism
Stalinism
Marxism
Leninism
Tyranny
Statism
Liberalism
Collectivism
Good of society
Communitarianism
Community service
Social gospel
Liberation theology

All are applicable to the Obama regime in some respects. While they vary in the details of their programs, all of these isms have one thing in common: their fundamental philosophy.

All of the above isms are based on the philosophy of altruism. They are all death cults.

>> "The basic principle of altruism is that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that service to others is the only justification of his existence, and that self-sacrifice is his highest moral duty, virtue, and value.... which means the self as a standard of evil, and the selfless as a standard of the good."
-- Ayn Rand "Philosophy, Who Needs It", page 74 (hc), 61 (pb).

Obama's philosophy is thoroughly altruistic. His actions in taking over control of business fit the fascist pattern. And he is doing it all by stealth, not revealing his true motivation or goals, concealed behind meaningless propaganda slogans such as "Hope" and "Change".

Therefore, I will continue to use the term "crypto-fascist" to refer to Obama and his regime.
