The Health Insurance Cartel's Extortion Demand:

[bvar22]

"Give us $1 Trillion Dollars, or we will let 40,000 Americans die every year.
The same as we have always done.
Give us that $Trillion Dollars, and we might just do something for a few of them".

Hank Paulson would be proud*.

And there are people on DU selling that shit.
There is only ONE way to deal with Extortionists.
Exterminate them.

The Democratic Party is going to give these bastards a $Trillion Dollars,
AND require every American to BUY an invisible product every year from For Profit Corporations that manufacture NOTHING, and produce NO wealth.

That is some scam.
I'm in awe.
The Republicans could have NEVER gotten away with something like this.


*You remember Paulson's 3 page Extortion Demand?
"Give us a Trillion Dollars or we tank the economy?"

5. KIll the BIll, AND

....eliminate the Extortionists.

Expanding Medicare would do that.


The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.
