Socialist Democrats Show Their True Colors

When a big time athlete wins a really important game, there’s the usual ESPN style speech we expect: “oh we just went out there and, uh, you know, uh, gave it 110%, I think we played a really good game, but uh, you know, so did they”. Of course, anyone watching knows the faux humility only lasts but a second. In kind, Democrats were only able to maintain the pretense of “helping all Americans” and having the courage to stand against the insurance companies for so long. In the end, they just can’t help take that victory lap. They are simply too egotistical to skip it.
In recent days Max Baucus and Howard Dean have both come out and admitted what we already knew. That the health bill is about redistribution. Dean was at least kind enough to suggest that you can’t push redistribution too far, because you risk removing the incentive for work.

That was sweet of him. Baucus wasn’t quite as kind. He indicated that some people simply make too much money.
“Too often, much of late, the last couple three years, the mal-distribution of income in American is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy and the middle income class is left behind”
It’s helpful to know that while we’re all out here working for higher and higher taxes, that Mr. Baucus is working behind the scenes to figure out just how much money we should be allowed to make. I wonder where that line is exactly. Sure, it’s been painted at $250k for now, but how long can we expect it to be there. We already know that every socialist program goes over budget. We already know that no matter how many votes you purchase today with spending, you always seem to need more tomorrow. How can we be assured that the socialists won’t need to lower that threshold tomorrow?
Once the signing ceremony ended for the unconstitutional health care takeover, we were then treated to baseless (and videoless) accusations of violence, name-calling and spitting. Now we’ve finally moved on to the truth. It was all a giant ruse from day one. This was never about helping anyone. In typical Democrat fashion, the bill was only about shifting power and jobs to the Federal government while fleecing the American public for more money to find Democrat games.
