Coming Home to Roost: Health Care? Give Me a Break!

SEE HERE There is something distinctly rotten in the whole Health Care Arena. When money makes the kind of spiraling round trips that it does when it's taxed, goes through layer after layer of bureaucracy each layer taking a bite, it all starts reminding me of those great globes of herring on the Blue Planet and birds, tuna, sharks, and dolphins all take their runs on them until there are no herring left and only bits and crumbs settle to the bottom. (Think of yourself as a herring.)

This is not about health care, it's about keeping the food train running. We have to get the government out of the health care business altogether, at least that's the case if you want to have anything left to pass on to your children and still have any health at all. This is not about health care, it's about the feeding frenzies of our masters. They are running out of money. Money, try to remember, is just an indication of what you've created by your productive work. Every time a tax is imposed some of your life is being sapped. At some point the whole system just grinds to a halt. Government is like throwing sand in the works of a finely tuned machine. It doesn't make it run better, it makes it less efficient and ultimately is freezes. We're entering the late stages of this process, or so it seems.
