Report Proves America Headed for Civil / Re-Revolutionary War
July 10, 2008 by Capt. Karl
Instead of lowering the cost of Socialism, by implimentation of lowering the cost of Medicare, as you can see in the following report, they have done the opposite and raised it.
WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Kennedy returned to the Senate chamber on Wednesday to loud cheers, casting a crucial vote in favor of a bill that will reduce financial burden on doctors who receive Medicare payments.
The bill now goes to the White House, after passing by a veto-proof margin.
Kennedy, who is recovering from brain surgery that resulted from cancer, has been staying at his home in Hyannis Port, Mass., while undergoing chemotherapy. Kennedy’s wife reported earlier this week that he was feeling fatigued, but able to continue activities, including sailing.
When his name came up during the roll call Wednesday, he yelled, “Aye,” made a thumbs-up gesture as he registered his vote, and was surrounded by loud cheers from his colleagues.
The bill would void a 10.6 percent pay cut for doctors treating Medicare patients.
The House already has overwhelmingly approved the Medicare measure, but a Senate vote two weeks ago fell one vote short of the 60 votes needed to limit debate. Kennedy, undergoing radiation and chemotherapy treatments for brain cancer, was not present then.
His presence Wednesday was instrumental as the vote to limit debate was approved 69-30. Under a previous agreement, once the 60-vote threshold was met, the bill was considered approved.
Lawmakers are under pressure from doctors and the elderly patients they serve to void the cut, which kicked in July 1 because of a funding formula that establishes lower reimbursement rates when Medicare spending levels exceed established targets. Some doctors say they’ll quit taking new patients if the cuts stand.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
So, let us get this straight, Social Security and Medicare are $90 TRILLION DOLLARS in the hole, over the infinite horizon, as of this coming January and even when Congress places a “funding formula that establishes lower reimbursement rates when Medicare spending levels exceed established targets” they vote to significantly increase the $90 TRILLION Dollar target?
· Okay, so help me understand this, “Doctors say they’ll quit taking new patients if the cuts stand.”. Okay… Then where is the additional money, above the $90 TRILLION, which amounts to up to 85% withholding on our paycheck “payroll” tax, going to come from?
· And what about all the elderly and sons/daughters of “the elderly” who are going to “fight” for Social Security and Medicare?
· And then, What about all the hundreds of MILLIONS of people who are going to have up to 85% of their paycheck taken from them at a time when gasoline, heat, light, electricity and even food is skyrocketing?
· Is there going to come a time when we all march into our employer’s office and forbid him/her from withholding our earnings because if they do we will not have the money to drive to work, pay for heat, light, electricity or even food?
· How are you, your children or your grandchildren going to be able to live on only 15% of their earnings?
· What are the people who believe in and DEMAND increasing Social Security and Medicare, to cover necessary living costs for them or their parents, etc…, going to say or do to the people who will be forced, for the sake of living and providing for their families, to demand that their employer stop withholding?
· What is the U.S. Government going to do, in light of MILLIONS of people demanding their Social Security and Medicare payments, when tens of thousands force their employers to stop withholding because they can not afford to live when so much is taken out of their paychecks?
We all better THINK and think hard, because this is what we are headed for. The U.S. Government will soon give us “THE FINAL ULTIMATUM”; “Give up the Constitution of The United States of America and FREEDOM (from Government) for the chains and bondage of the soup kitchens of the Socialist Welfare State encompassing, eventually a One World Order under the control of the private owners of THE FEDERAL RESERVE who are really behind this whole catastrophe. In that way we will have no “America” to run to for FREEDOM (from Government). This is the plan by our U.S. Government who operates under the direction of the privately held company called THE FEDERAL RESERVE.
As for me, no matter how bad it get’s I choose FREEDOM. This time the enemy is The Federal Reserve, The U.S. Government and the loyalists amongst us who believe in Social Security and Medicare and the rest of the spending programs and BIG GOVERNMENT of the Socialist State, instead of the Soviet Union.
With that in mind watch the following video and remember who the new enemy of FREEDOM (from Government) IS. Are we going to appease them? Are we going to surrender our FREEDOM? When Barack Obama states that he knows what our answer will be that we are retreating under the pressure of energy prices, and someday when the time comes to deliver the “ultimatum”, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally and economically additionally by the cost of taxation through Government’s “master” plan to usurp our FREEDOM in favor of a Socialist Welfare State who will promise to feed and houses us under their TV cameras and listening devises, “for our own good”, in huge one and two bedroom apartment complexes where they herd us like cattle to “minimize” our “carbon footprint”.
WILL we then state “oh well”, “We rather be Red than dead.” or will we say “We rather live on our knees than die on our feet.”?
Therein lies the road to WAR because they do not speak for the rest of us!
There is a price WE WILL NOT PAY; There is a point FROM WHICH THEY MUST NOT ADVANCE!
This, when we get taxed for it, when the IRS starts taking even MORE MONEY out of our paychecks, will add fuel to the cause of a Combination Civil and Re-Revolutionary War.
The readership of The Liberty Tree Lantern tend to be Americans who are very thoughtful, knowledgeable, and deeply and patriotically care about American economics, prosperity, freedom and the impact on their posterity regarding these matters by the constitutional scofflaws in both houses of the U.S. Congress. Our readership which has reached over 1000 in less than one month, simply by word of mouth and little else, knows the importance of legislation that impacts their daily lives, usurps their FREEDOM (from Government), and therefore, and there by, robs them through taxation, fees and general economics, of their earnings and quality of life, through the inevitable implementation of Socialism by the execution of otherwise uneducated “A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” And he also stated; “Above all things I hope the education of the common people will be attended to, convinced that on their good sense we may rely with the most security for the preservation of a due degree of liberty.” –Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1787. Madison Version FE 4:480
mob rule as defined by Thomas Jefferson;
It is important, as we know, that people realize that “free stuff”, such as Socialist domestic spending programs, like Social Security and Medicare and numerous others, result in the loss of FREEDOM (from Government) and, as always as borne out in history, prosperity and quality of life of the vast majority of INDIVIDUALS. Once Socialist programs are implemented and sustained over time, it becomes so addictive to a vast segment of economically and historically ignorant, uneducated, or obtuse some so by design or desire for several reasons – one of which is laziness, people in terms of “governance” that these programs can not be reversed, even when the obviousness of failure is ultimately acute.
The Liberty Tree Lantern feels that it is absolutely imperative that its light shine on and bring to the consciousness of our fellow countrymen the matter of War that is coming as evidenced as unstoppable by the following article on Medicare. We have provided insight as to the fact that by January 2008, according to The Washington Times July 2nd, 2007 Op-Ed article, Social
Security and Medicare will be over the infinite horizon, for just these two programs ALONE. All the assets of the “rich” combined does not even come close to $90 TRILLION DOLLARS. If the U.S. Government would steal all the assets, through the IRS, of the “rich” barely a dent would be put in the UNFUNDED LIABILITIES that the obtuse mob is or will demand for their retirement and their health.
So, where do you think this money is going to come from? Well the average working person, hundreds of millions of us, each earn a paycheck. When you calculate the total value of all those paychecks combined you will see that the common workers paychecks combined across our nation amounts to far more money than all “the rich” possess or ever will possess, just simply due to the massive number of our population and the number of paychecks going out. So what does that mean? It means that the U.S. Government has NO CHOICE but to take that money out of your paycheck through payroll withholding taxes BEFORE YOU EVEN GET YOUR CHECK. How much of your paycheck is going to be needed to cover $90 TRILLION Dollars of JUST Social Security and Medicare? The estimates go as high as 85% of your earnings, that will have to be stolen out of your and your children’s and your grandchildren’s and your grandchildren’s children’s paychecks to cover just these two Socialist programs. Socialism never in history has worked and it NEVER WILL.
Congress had its first opportunity to put just a very small dent in “The Perfect Storm” and bring down the winds of the Socialist financial taxation hurricane that is going to hit landfall in the next few years. You can see that “Mob” rule otherwise known as 51% of the people controlling the other 49%, which is the OPPOSITE of FREEDOM (from Government) won. This is why we are supposed to have a representative style government, which we do, to ensure against this sort of thing called democracy. But the ultimate problem which is superseding the safe guards placed on our government, through the Constitution, is two fold. First and foremost, our Government, particularly both houses of Congress, has passed legislation that is of utter contempt and illegal in terms of the LAW set down in The Constitution to protect us from such Socialist programs. The Liberty Tree Lantern addresses this subject matter elsewhere in this blog. Secondly, the electorate hasn’t been properly educated in “government” provided schooling (imagine that!). If we would have made sure that our children, which means us adults now, were properly educated in school with regards to history and the various failings of various forms of government and pitfalls we would have better kept an eye on the naturally occurring ravages of our FREEDOM (from Government) by Government, as we were well warned by the writings of our Founding Fathers, that we have not read because we have not been properly taught or made to read it when we were in school. In a FREE (from Government) society such studies should be mandatory to protect our individually precious and prosperity building FREEDOM. The lack of a proper education in this field is likely by design by the Government who funds schools from OUR MONEY.
