As you’ve probably heard, Senate Majority Leader Harry Read likens those who oppose the Democrats’ so-called health care “reform” as those who opposed the end of slavery:
Melissa Clouthier points out the irony of this, as it is the Democrats’ plans that erode our freedom and makes us more like slaves to politicians’ desires:
One could argue that the health care legislation being proposed by Harry Reid et al. pushes the balance toward enslavement. That is, Americans will pay more in taxes. They will be forced by the government to do something (buy insurance) they may not want or need to do. They will be forced to accept government standards of care. They will have less choices both in their private financial decisions (since more money will be spent on government mandates rather than personal desires) and in their health care decisions. …
Those who fight the health care legislation fear being owned. They fear that every personal decision from cradle to grave will be manipulated by a nameless, faceless bureaucrat in Washington D.C. …
Harry Reid needs to look in the mirror. It is he who wants to control every aspect of a person’s health care life. …
Harry Reid is all about ownership…as long as the government owns and the taxpayer is enslaved.
