Camrade Obama

From TJIC

Whats wrong with these pictures from Obama's Houston office? Hmm. Could it be the Cuban flags with the murdering communist Che on them? Maybe Hilary is the more moderate one of the two. Scary.

The Right to Healthcare

I was eating lunch today when I saw Hillbillery Clinton telling her hordes that health care was a human right. Right, like speech and assembly huh. What a freaking idiot. As Coyote says a right is anything you can have on a deserted island. I'm pretty sure a doctor is not on that list. And just to clarify by guaranteeing everyone health care you are saying that you're ok getting marginal quality health care, waiting lines and all.
There is a certain supply of doctors. A government mandate socializing health care will not magically increase that supply. Why do doctors charge so much? Because they can. If we didn't get sick as often they would have less demand and would necessarily decrease their rates.
If you really want to cut down health care costs the best thing the government could do is make low deductible health insurance plans illegal. When was the last time you asked how much a doctor visit would cost? I can answer that for you. Never. You only ask what your copay or deductible will be. If people had to pay the first 5 or 10 thousand out of pocket they would think twice before going in every time they had a cold. Therefore less demand on doctors leads to reduced rates.

Go Big Oil

I read today that Exxon won an order freezing 36 billion dollars worth of Venezuela's state oil assets. To put that in perspective Exxon's annual net income for last year was 40 billion. Maybe after they get their money back Exxon can bring criminal charges in a Venezuelan court against Hugo for grand theft? That would be awesome. Stick it to the commies Exxon!

Tax Cuts

I have a couple of thoughts on the tax cut proposals being made by the presidential candidates. First is if you want to do any major tax cuts they have to reduce taxes on the "rich". Why is that? Because they are the ones that pay the most taxes. When you think of all the phased out credits and deductions and the "progressive" tax rates they pay way more than the middle class.
My second thought is that if you want to put in place any permanent tax cut you must also cut spending. Contrary to Congess' belief you cant consistently spend more than you make. Novel concept I know. I would try to explain if further but if you cant grasp that concept perhaps you should run for congress.
