To the Congressional Progressive Caucus

The Democratic Party is still far to the right compare to the conservative parties of most civilized countries. I do not want affordable health care, I want it free. Bring the standards of education up to par with the International Baccalaureate. Revamp the economy by taking the load of healthcare of the shoulders of employers; revamp the real estate market by taking medical bills out of home buyer’s credit scores. Pay for it by ending not just the war in Iraq, but the war against drugs. Abolish mandatory minimum sentences Raise the minimum wage for adults to a living wage. Make civil unions the only legally recognize domestic partnership for everyone, the sanctity of marriage makes it incompatible with the first amendment.

Paying for universal healthcare To raise taxes or not to raise taxes? That is not the question. Paying premiums to an insurance company or paying premiums through payroll withholdings, that is the question.

Government is not, or should not be, big brother, it is simply our hired help, just like a cleaning crew, a hair dresser, a secretary, it will give to us what we demand, at the quality we demand and are willing to pay for. The problem is WE DO NOT DEMAND; Americans presume anything they get from the government is a hand out, so quality of course is not expected. It is not more of a hand out that your secretary bringing you your mail. Until we understand who governs who and raise our expectations for our civil servants, we will have this absurd situation where the boss cannot afford healthcare but pays handsomely to cover the hired help. BTW, if politicians truly believed that public funded healthcare is not the best, why would they have it for themselves, and all the while saying we cannot afford it and still grabbing it for themselves. We get what we demand of our government, in our case, nothing much.

 

Please sign and call or write your representatives and all senators with this demand Description: This is a demand to congress: If you do not want to spend our tax money to pay for health care for us, the people, you can not spend it to pay for yours either. If taxpayer's provided health care is so terrible, give up your own ASAP. SIGN PETITION
