The Billionaires For Wealthcare is a group protesting the extreme capitalist healthcare system we currently have while trying to counterbalance the very loud group of “teabaggers” (yea, I know but it’s their term though), 9/12ers, town hall yellers and people that don’t want government in their healthcare (or anywhere else it seems). Well, that’s if it doesn’t interfere with that rampantly socialist program Medicare of course. Public option indeed.
Extreme capitalism doesn’t belong in healthcare… regardless of how the system is “fixed.”
Look I’m angry too but this anger against Obama is displaced. Even if you don’t like Rachel Maddow watch this video at least until you listen to the Billionaires For Wealthcare “song.”
I loved this:
We need to get far more vocal as moderates, liberals, progressives, compassionate conservatives and anyone else that wants to stop this relatively small group of angry folk from speaking for yelling over all of us.
They are currently running rough shod over the healthcare reform debate.
Comeon Obama you need to actually head this reform with far more passion and leadership.
We’ll have no one but ourselves to blame if they win and nothing gets done while we all sit trying to be reasonable but not speaking out with our own passion for change.
Profit driven healthcare is morally and ethically wrong.
I repeat:
Profit driven healthcare is morally and ethically wrong!
Get off the sofa (it’s not good for your overall health to sit there anyway), get out (yes, outdoors) and show that the voters that elected President Barack Obama WANT the changes in healthcare he spoke of with such passion before.
We don’t have billion dollar lobbyists to represent our interests but we can vote, be active and speak out. That’s not subversion it’s DEMOCRACY.
I’d hate to see the jaded disillusion that I’ve acquired over a lifetime of watching politicians break promises… touch the faces of my children, who voted for Obama with such conviction that change would actually come.
Let’s take back OUR government from the far, far right. NOW please before it’s too late.
Going out in the sunshine.
Laura on Long Island.
