The Truth Republicans Don't Want You To Know
What are the Death Panels. Well to start with there is no such thing. Republicans are really good at making up scary sounding stuff that is NOT true. What they call "Death Panels" are actually Voluntary conversations that have NOTHING to do with the government. They are FREEDOM. THEY ARE YOUR FREEDOM! Don't you want to make your own decisions of what happens when you are leaving this world and make sure your family and doctor are clear about them? If you are sick and dying and loose your ability to make decisions about how to handle your death, do you want to make that decision in advance or do you want everyone to guess at it? Issues like this are why I quit the Republican party and became a Democrat. I actually voted for Regan. I didn't realize until years later that he destroyed the American worker by killing the Air Traffic Controller union. That began the slow spiral down to fewer good jobs, lower wages and fewer benefits for workers. At the same time the Right wing propagandist really began to pump out the message that unions are BAD and get paid way too much. Too bad most Americans have bought into it. For the last thirty years Americans have been getting the shaft without even realizing it. Here are a few examples: "We want to cut taxes" (what they don't tell you is they aren't talking about the taxes of the average working person. They are talking about taxes for huge corporations and the ultra rich), "Obama Care is Socialism" (It is no more socialism than Social Security or Medicare). If it had been "Socialism" that would be a GOOD thing because everyone would pay into the healthcare system and lowered the cost for ALL Americans. Why is that a Bad thing? Someone please tell me. There are many more examples of Republicans propaganda but this blog would be way too long. 2011 could be a very tough year. I hope Americans start to realize that Democrats are on the side of average workers and that the Republicans are NOT. Republicans only want to help the rich.
