The Meaning of Independence Day

Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights

 

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

“…We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. …”

More and more Americans are waking up to the fact that the Federal Government is a clear and present danger to their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

The Federal Government in the last election was taken over by progressive radical socialists within the Democratic Party.

Their chosen one, Barack Hussein Obama, like God without a birth certificate, promised hope and change.

The political supporters and campaign contributors of Barack Obama and the Democratic Party paid and hoped for and are getting the change they wanted– the crime of the century.

The change is unconstitutional, unconstrained and criminal Federal spending on bailouts for banks and businesses, handouts in the form of stimulus spending to fund construction jobs employing mostly criminal aliens, and political payoffs to organizations and unions such as ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), SEIU (Services Employee International Union), UAW (United Auto Workers), and the NEA (Nationl Education Association).

These massive increases in Federal spending required the progressive radical socialist Democratic Party to propose an equally massive new Energy Tax on carbon emissions called Cap and Trade that would would tax all energy consumption for electricity, heating oil and gasoline.

If the proposed Energy Tax or Cap and Trade is passed, every American would be paying thousands of dollars each year as a hidden tax in the price of goods and services. The American people’s electrical, gasoline, and heating oil bills will skyrocket!

Obama: My Plan Makes Electricity Rates Skyrocket

 

If the proposed Energy Tax or Cap and Trade is not passed, the Democratic Party’s plan B is a new national Federal sales tax in the form of a hidden value–added tax included in the price of all purchased goods and services.

This would be a new tax on top of all the other taxes the American people now pay–they have no shame!

The American people are already overtaxed and the progresssive radical socialist Democratic Party want a massive new hidden Energy Tax–Cap and Trade and/or a value-added tax.

The taxes will be used to fund a massive increase government spending including even more subsisides for their political supporters in the form of bailouts, handouts and payoffs–the crime of the century.

The progressive radical socialist Democratic Party are an organized crime gang of thieves and liars that should be in prison not in the Whitehouse and Congress. 

The only thing transparent about these taxes is the repeated lies that we need the taxes to save the planet from man-made global warming or climate change.

Unstoppable Solar Cycles

 

No mention is made by President Obama and the progressive radical socialist Democratic Party of the millions of jobs that will be lost as a direct result of these hidden taxes on energy, goods and service and millions of businesses fleeing to other countries to avoid these taxes and regulations in search of cheaper labor and energy.

Roughly 50 million people in the United States do not have medical insurance coverage.

Who are these 50 million people?

About 20 to 30 million are illegal immigrants or criminal aliens working in the United States for employers who do not provide them with medical insurance coverage.

These 20 to 30 million criminal aliens should be removed from their jobs by requiring all employers to E-Verify the names of all their employees to determine their status to work legally in the United States.

CNN Lou Dobbs on E-Verify

 

Obama Admin wants to kill E-Verifyify

 

Criminal aliens should be removed from their place of employment and deported to their country of origin.

Instead President Obama continues to promote illegal immigration by refusing to require all employers to use the E-Verify system and not just Federal contractors.

In so doing the President is dishonoring the oath of office he took to defend the Constitution.

Presidential Oath Takers and Oath Breakers–Stopping The 20 Million Mexican Illegal Alien Invasion of the United States!

Currently there are over 15 million unemployed American citizens in the United States.

More Americans are now unemployed than in 1933, the worst year of The Great Depression when about 13 million Americans were unemployed.

Unemployment Rate Surges

 

United States Economic Depressions–The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly–Obama’s Depression–Over 15,000,000 Americans Seek Full Time Job!

Instead of removing and deporting criminal aliens, the progressive radical socialists want to give them amnesty aka a “pathway to citizenship” and universal health care  to attract even more illegal immigrants to the United Stated by providing a new health care entitlement program.

This is a betrayal of the American people and the rule of law by the political elites in Washington D.C.

There are about 20 to 30 million American citizens who do not have medical insurance coverage.

Approximatley 10 to 15 million can afford medical insurance but chose not to purchase the coverage.

Another 10 to 15 million are between jobs and unemployed.

The sooner these Americans find a job, the sooner they will have the money to purchase medical insurance coverage or obtain coverage through their new employers as an employee benefit.

This leaves roughly 5 to 10 million Americans who are disabled, have a pre-existing medical condition, and are poor or destitute and cannot  afford to purchase private medical insurance.

The majority  of these Americans already qualify for Medicaid but chose simply not to apply for the benefits.

Also many states also have special medical insurance programs for individuals who are unable to qualify for a private medical insurance because of a pre-existing medical condition.

By far the best health care reform plan is that proposed by Senator Tom Coburn and Congressman Paul Ryan–The Patient’s Choice Act:

The Patients’ Choice Act (1 of 4) Press Conference (Senator Burr and Congressman Ryan)

 

The Patients’ Choice Act (2 of 4) Press Conference (Senator Burr and Congressman Ryan)

 

The Patients’ Choice Act (3 of 4) Press Conference (Senator Burr and Congressman Ryan)

 

The Patients’ Choice Act (4 of 4) Press Conference (Senator Burr and Congressman Ryan)

 

Health Savings Accounts are also becoming increasingly popular:

Health Savings Accounts: Part I, The Basics

 

Health Savings Accounts – Part 2 – HDHP Insurance

 

The vast majority of the American people like and are satisfied with their existing private medical insurance plan and want to keep them.

The vast majority of the American people do not want to pay more taxes on their existing medical insurance coverage so that either a criminal alien working here illegally or American citizens who can afford to purchase medical insurance can have President Obama Universal Health Care government coverage.

The vast majority of the American people want both the Social Security and Medicare entitlement program saved from eventual insolvency by putting both programs on an acturially sound financial foundation.

The first priority should be the reform of both Social Security and Medicare so that every American has ownership rights both in their Social Security account and in their Medicare insurance plan and is no longer dependent upon the Federal Government’s mere promise of future benefit payments.

Instead the progressive radical socialist Democratic Party lead by President Obama proposed a new major entitlement, Universal Health Care that would destroy even more jobs and make the American people even more dependent upon the Federal Government for their retirement income or medical care.

 

Here is what President Obama and the progressive radical socialist Democratic Party really wants to do:

Obama on single payer health insurance

 

Dem Rep: Obama Goal to Destroy Health Care System

 

Here is what President Obama says for public consumption:

Obama Healthcare

 

The Federal Government with Medicare  pays doctors and hospitals signifigantly less than what they must charge their other patients to cover their cost.

 

Government caused the uninsured

 

This means doctors and hospitals must charge those with private insurance significantly more to recope their costs.

This is one of the reasons health insurance premiums are rising.

A government or public health care provider or insurer would do the same as it now does with Medicare.

This would eventually drive out or crowd-out private insurers that would have to charge their customers higher premiums.

Once private competitors are driven out of business, the American people would be stuck with a single payor Federal Government system.

This is exactly what the progressive radical socialist Democrtic Party wants.

Once this happens the Federal Government will ration health care to minimize costs to the program.

Rationing Your Health: The danger of government-run health care

The Federal Government should not be in the insurance business.

The Medicare program is in serious financial trouble even when it routinely pays only 70% to 80% of doctor and hospital charges!

The Federal Government is one of the causes or drivers resulting in high medical costs. Expanding government role will only make the problem worse.

President Obama fails to mention that it is government intervention by the states in requiring certain mandated coverages be included in the plan also drives up the cost of medical insurance by 20% to 50%.

The cost of malpractice insurance is another driver of rising medical insurance premium.

Federal and state tort reform with caps or maximums on awards for damagaes would also go a long way to reduce rising premiums for health or medical insurance coverage.

And this is an example of what President Obama does to honest Federal Government employees:

 

 Investigator of Basketball Star Kevin Johnson Fired by Obama

 

This is certainly not a reason for the American people to celebrate Independence Day.

The fiscally irresponsible spending, deficits, debts, and taxes proposed by President Obama and the progressive radical socialist Democratic Party in Congress have created a crisis of confidence among business owners and consumers–the American people.

Small to medium size businesses and not the Federal Government create the majority of jobs, income and wealth in the United States.

These business owners have lost confidence in Congress, the President of the United States, and the Federal Government.

The United States needs economic policies that would promote a massive increase in private investment in captial goods and inventory as well as individual savings.

What would restore both business owner and consumer confidence?

1. Passage of the FairTax, a national consumption sales tax, that would replace all Federal taxes including income, payroll, alternative minimum, captal gains, gift and estate taxes. This would be followed in the near future with a single tax amendment to the United States Constitution that would prohibit all other Federal taxes except the Fair Tax.
2. Passage of a six month tax-holiday (July 1 through December 31, 2009) from all Federal business and individual income and payroll taxes. This would permit an orderly transition from the old and shrinking income tax base to the new and growing consumption sales tax base.
3. Passage of The Patients’ Choice Act.
4. Passage of a balanced Federal budget and in the near future a balanced budget amendment to the United States Consititution so as to preclude all future deficits except for the declared wars.

The above four economic policies if implemented would truly transform the United States economy.

The result would be a rapid economic recovery from the current worsening recession with a huge increase in job, income and wealth creation and a world-wide economic boom.

The above will happen if all Americans–Independents, Democrats, and Republicans–take spontaneous action and dare to move to a Celebration of Independence Day, July 4, 2009.

You are invited to attend a Ice Tea Party on July 4, 2009, Independence Day!

“The conflict between the ideal of freedom and the desire to “correct” the distribution of incomes so as to make it more “just” is usually not clearly recognized. But those who pursue distributive justice will in practice find themselves obstructed at every move by the rule of law. They must, from the very nature of their aim, favor discriminatory and discretionary action. But the ultimate result of their efforts will necessarily be, not a modification of the existing orders, but its complete abandonment and replacement by an altogether different system–the command economy.”

Obama’s Health Cost Illusion

The President’s main case for reform is rooted in false claims and little evidence.

“…A far better alternative is to increase individual responsibility for medical decisions. In 1965, the average American paid more than half of his health care out of pocket. Spending has since increased sevenfold, but the amount that consumers pay directly hasn’t even doubled. When people aren’t exposed to the true cost of their care — though it is paid in foregone wages and higher taxes for public programs — they consume more care. The research of MIT economist Amy Finkelstein suggests that roughly half of the real increase in U.S. health spending between 1950 and 1990 is due to Medicare and the spread of third-party, first-dollar insurance.

Increasing cost-sharing would discipline the health spending curve and give it a more rational bent. As societies grow richer, it makes sense that people will invest more in their own well-being. Health is a superior good, while the utility of wealth is fairly low if you’re dead. The U.S. health cost “crisis” is that we spend so much without incentives to weigh the costs against the benefits.

Yet the entire Obama agenda is about increasing political, rather than individual, control of the health markets. …”

Sally Pipes on Why Universal Health Care Will Kill You

“…President Obama is promising universal health care for Americans.

God help us.

Sally Pipes, president of the Pacific Research Institute, explained on the “Mark Levin Show” last night why government health care has been a disaster everywhere it’s been tried and would be a catastrophe for the United States.

Americans hate standing in line and they won’t tolerate the health care rationing the government is planning to impose on Americans.

“They don’t like standing at line at the post office, as you know, Mark, they don’t like standing in line at the DMV. When the government takes over their health care, they’ll be standing in line waiting for care,” said Pipes, a native Canadian who knows whereof she speaks.

Canadians, Pipes pointed out, come to the United States to seek treatment instead of dying on Canadian government waiting lists. …”

“…Introduction

Most Americans have health insurance through their employers. But employment is no longer a guarantee of health insurance coverage.

As America continues to move from a manufacturing-based economy to a service economy, and employee working patterns continue to evolve, health insurance coverage has become less stable. The service sector offers less access to health insurance than its manufacturing counterparts. Further, an increasing reliance on part-time and contract workers who are not eligible for coverage means fewer workers have access to employer-sponsored health insurance.

Due to rising health insurance premiums, many small employers cannot afford to offer health benefits. Companies that do offer health insurance, often require employees to contribute a larger share toward their coverage. As a result, an increasing number of Americans have opted not to take advantage of job-based health insurance because they cannot afford it.

Who are Who are the uninsured?

• Nearly 46 million Americans, or 18 percent of the population under the age of 65, were without health insurance in 2007, the latest government data available.¹
• The number of uninsured rose 2.2 million between 2005 and 2006 and has increased by almost 8 million people since 2000.¹
• The large majority of the uninsured (80 percent) are native or naturalized citizens.²
• The increase in the number of uninsured in 2006 was focused among working age adults. The percentage of working adults (18 to 64) who had no health coverage climbed from 19.7 percent in 2005 to 20.2 percent in 2006.¹ Nearly 1.3 million full-time workers lost their health insurance in 2006.
• Nearly 90 million people – about one-third of the population below the age of 65 spent a portion of either 2006 or 2007 without health coverage.³
• Over 8 in 10 uninsured people come from working families – almost 70 percent from families with one or more full-time workers and 11 percent from families with part-time workers.²
• The percentage of people (workers and dependents) with employment-based health insurance has dropped from 70 percent in 1987 to 62 percent in 2007. This is the lowest level of employment-based insurance coverage in more than a decade.^{4, 5}
• In 2005, nearly 15 percent of employees had no employer-sponsored health coverage available to them, either through their own job or through a family member.⁶
• In 2007, 37 million workers were uninsured because not all businesses offer health benefits, not all workers qualify for coverage and many employees cannot afford their share of the health insurance premium even when coverage is at their fingertips.¹
• The number of uninsured children in 2007 was 8.1 million – or 10.7 percent of all children in the U.S.¹
• Young adults (18-to-24 years old) remained the least likely of any age group to have health insurance in 2007 – 28.1 percent of this group did not have health insurance.¹
• The percentage and the number of uninsured Hispanics increased to 32.1 percent and 15 million in 2007.¹
• Nearly 40 percent of the uninsured population reside in households that earn $50,000 or more.¹ A growing number of middle-income families cannot afford health insurance payments even when coverage is offered by their employers. …”

http://www.nchc.org/facts/coverage.shtml

Why That 48 Million Uninsured Number is Wrong

“…Numbers in the 40-million range regularly used by proponents of health care “reform” are based on reports from the Census Bureau which show, for example, over 45 million people “not covered” in 2007. However, these numbers are extremely misleading for several reasons, and the difference is critical not simply as a debating point but as a context for appropriate government policy changes.

• The Census Bureau itself says that “Health insurance coverage is likely to be underreported…” (See Appendix C of THIS report) For example, “16.9 percent of people with an MSIS record indicating Medicaid coverage reported…that they were uninsured.”
• According to Sally Pipes of the Pacific Research Institute, “as many as 12 million uninsured Americans are eligible for Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program–but they haven’t signed up.”
• More than half of the uninsured are between 18 and 34 years of age, a group which has relatively few expensive health issues and for whom self-insuring (paying their own medical bills) makes sense. Only 14% of people over the age of 55% are uninsured.
• Over 9 million of the “uninsured” have household incomes over $75,000.
• Roughly 30% of the uninsured are without insurance for less than 6 months (though this statistic will likely worsen during the current recession).
• And finally, estimates are that between 7.5 million to over 10 million of the uninsured (15% of them or more) are illegal immigrants.

The number of chronically uninsured people who would prefer to have insurance but can’t afford it is likely 10-12 million people, or one quarter of the number often repeated by the media. Reporters who cite the 48 million number without providing a full context do their readers a great disservice. …”

41% Favor Public Sector Health Care Option, 41% Disagree

“..Forty-one percent (41%) of American adults believe it would be a good idea to set up a government health insurance company to compete with private health insurance companies. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that an identical number (41%) disagree.

President Obama is now aggressively campaigning to build support for creating such public-sector competition. Later today, he is expected to give a major address to the American Medical Association that outlines his health care reform goals including the creation of a government-run health insurance company.

Just 32% of Americans believe that the addition of a public sector insurance option would reduce the cost of health care. Forty percent (40%) say it would not.

Sixty-three percent (63%) say it’s likely that a government insurance company would lose money and require taxpayer subsidies. Just 20% say that’s not likely.

Forty-nine percent (49%) of Americans believe private insurance companies will provide better service and more choice than the government option. Thirty-four percent (34%) hold the opposite view. …”
