Universal Healthcare - Make Your Neighbor Pay!

Universal Health Care. Sounds magnanimous doesn't it. Altruistic even? How could something with such a pure intent go wrong?

Because human nature doesn't work that way, that's why. Perhaps an example? Well, one that I made up, but at least it isn't as made up as the Obamacare numbers..
.




There are 3 tenants living in a rent controlled apartment in NY (ex: John, Tom, Chris). John works hard and pays his bills ontime as best he can. Finances are tight and he is saving up for his son to go to college.


Tom has also worked hard but has fallen under ill health. He is no longer able to afford rent and take care of his bills.We know that Chris doesn't work and survives by his parents' support.Chris, who it seems has always had a penchant for trying to interfere in people's private lives, learns of Tom's misfortune. Just as anyone would, Chris feels bad for the guy. One day, Chris has had enough of seeing Tom suffer. He doesn't have any fiscal responsibility or earning capacity so he can't help Tom out. So what does he decide to do? He decides to hit John up for the money. John says "I'm sorry, I just don't have it. I'd love to help Tom and I will if I am able but I am running a business in an Obama economy, barely getting by, barely able to afford rent and trying to put a kid through college. I just can't afford to lose any more money by supporting Tom.


Now the proper thing for Chris to say would be "Hey, thanks for your willingness. Let me know if you are able to help him out in the future. God bless." But Chris has attended a few Obama indoctrination sessions and knows how Chicago politics work.

Chris knocks him down on the ground and at knifepoint and says "Sorry John. I'm not taking no for an answer. Tom needs your money and needs it now. Either fork it up or I slit your throat." (Yes...I know that the government isn't looking to slit anyone's throat but a 20 year sentence for tax evasion isn't pretty either)


This is what Obama and the rest of the democrats want to do. Through confiscatory tax hikes, they feel that they have the right to MAKE someone else pay for someone else’s healthcare. And phones. And gas. And food. And housing. And on and on.

Not because they other person necessarily needs it, but because YOU have it.

You see charity at the point of a gun isn't charity. It's just being jacked.
