Max Baucus admits that healthcare reform is about wealth redistribution

  Giddy Democrats– caught in the euphoria of passing healthcare reform against the will of the people– are finding it hard to control themselves in the aftermath of their huge “victory” for over the American people. The are so giddy that they are finally beginning to admit the truth about their agenda. They just cannot help themselves.

  First we had John Dingell admit that part of the goal of healthcare reform is to “control the people,” and now another Democrat has opened his mouth and admitted the underlying goal of healthcare reform.

  Below is a video of Max Baucus admitting that one of the purposes of healthcare reform is wealth redistribution.

  He plainly admits that this bill is an “income shift– a leveling.” He claims that there is a mal-distribution of wealth in America and that the wealthy have become “too wealthy.” He claims that this bill will address this “mal-distribution of wealth in America.”

  First of all, what right does the government have in deciding who is too wealthy and who decides what an appropriate  income level should be? Since when is it a crime for a person in America to achieve success at his or her chosen profession?

  Second, how is it the government’s responsibility to distribute wealth in the first place?

  We are finally learing of the ulterior motive– which many of us suspected in the first place– of the healthcare reform bill. It is not about providing affordable healthcare to all Americans. If it were, they would have passed a bill that would have actually achieved that goal. Instead they passed a bill that mandates Americans must buy healthcare insurance, they are not extending healthcare benefits to the uninsured as they are touting, they are forcing Americans to buy it. There is a major difference between providing Americans healthcare insurance and mandating that Americans buy healthcare insurance or face a penalty. Sure there are subsidies available to help lower income families buy healthcare insurance at the expense of the American taxpayer, but that falls into the category of wealth redistribution.

  There is the much quoted bible verse: from whom much is given, much is required that Democrats like to quote when they are about to stick it to the rich, but honestly isn’t it up to the individual to decide when, where, and how to give back to the community and not the government?

  The Democrats could be making a fatal flaw here; in their exuberance over passing the healthcare reform bill they are letting their true feelings show, but the American people do not want this type of socialism.

   Sure, Barack Obama told the world his exact economic socialist policy when he made the infamous statement to Joe the plumber about “spreading the wealth around” but for the most part the American people didn’t listen to what Barack Obama actually said, while those that spoke out against his comment were called fringe, paranoid, racist, haters who were taking his words out of context to paint him as a radical. But now we are seeing Democrats actually admitting that what we were saying about Barack Obama during the campaign was true. Al Sharpton recently admitted as mush when he said,  “we have to say the American public overwhelmingly voted for socialism when they elected President Obama.”

  The American people– driven by Republican scandals and a hatred of George Bush– did not actually listen to what Barack Obama said during the campaign but they are hearing it now. It is a little late, but late is better than never. The Democrats have over-reached on healthcare reform and the American people are upset, but there is always the chance that by the time November rolls around that Americans would forget how upset they are right now. But if the Democrats keep opening up their mouths and continue to let their true feelings known, the American people will not forget. We will be energized when November rolls around and we will correct the error that was made in November of 2008.
