Entitlements vs.Rights

May 18, 2009

Now both Houses are working on a massive health care spending plan.Once again they are going to be spending money we don't have,or have the means to pay back,let alone just paying the interest on.Helping the small percentage who need help is on thing,but making us all buy into this is another.One of the reasons I hear people say they didn't vote for Senator Mccain was he wanted to tax the health care benefits of those of us who had health care via our employers.Now President Obama is "open" to that idea along with congress and certain liberal senators.I choose to keep{and defend}my Rights and not take all these "entitlements".This is Rights as given by the State{which can be taken away}vs.Rights guaranteed by God and the Constitution of these United States.These new rights of the taxpayers,rights of patients,contract with america e.g.are nothing more than socialism and to the people who are embracing socialism and even calling themselves new socialists let me give you my definition of a socialist.Socialist= Lazy communist
