Healthcare overcharges good, taxes bad

The average family of four in the U.S. pays more in overcharges for healthcare than for federal income taxes. That family gets a large return on its taxes and none on its healthcare overcharge. Why does the family complain about the taxes and supports the healthcare plundering of its assets?

Everyone is born hardwired to respond to alarms that could save them from harm. These alarms usually come in the form or words uttered by the mother that alert the infant or child to dangers. These are "screech words" delivered in a shrill or alarmed voice such as "no!" or "don't!" or a series of words such as: "It will bite you!" or "That will make you sick!" These words are etched into the brain immediately rather than through the normal memory process that requires repetition or multiple sources.

Some screech words are baseless. For instance "pork" generates revulsion in Jews and Arabs. At one time, there probably was a reason to avoid it, but no longer. The parents pass the false disgust along anyway because it is etched deeply into their brains. In the U.S. words like "socialism" and "communism" carry the alarm even though 95% of Americans don't know what they mean.

Birds and other mammals also use similar shrill warnings. The quivers that go through the body when someone scratches a blackboard with a finger nail probably originated from monkeys that use the sound to warn of danger. Birds sound alarms when raptor birds are flying around the area.

In the U.S., the rulers have managed to render "taxes" into a screech word. Those whose minds are undeveloped, frozen at the infant level, lack the analytical aptitudes to see through the ruse.

Bin Laden's god superior to Bush's god

Bin Laden had one simple goal in his conflict with the U.S. He also had a dream. He got both. He got more. Bin Laden wanted the U.S. bases out of Saudi Arabia where they defiled, in his mind, Muslim holy lands and sites. He bombed two U.S. embassies. The bases were not removed. He bombed the U.S.S. Cole. The bases were not removed. He bombed the World Trade Center. The troops and bases were removed.

Allah blessed Bin Laden with far more powerful weapons than car bombs. He gave him weapons more destructive than nuclear bombs. Allah gave him George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Like an anaphylactic shock, the most evil men of the 21st Century failed to understand the intelligence regarding the upcoming Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Their ignorance allowed the attacks to succeed spectacularly. Like the Egyptian god Set, Allah seems to have put the two dim-witted men into a state of confusion.

The chances for such an attack succeeding had to be near 1,000,000 to 1. Only divine intervention could be responsible for the miraculous success.

Dear loyal banking customer:

We are pleased to notify you that we have made some changes in our banking policies. We believe you will find this new service to be very helpful. Beginning with the first work day of the new year, we will decide which of your bills will be paid.

Statistics show that most people manage their money poorly, so we feel we can help our customers confront this problem. The policy is amazingly simple. Before you make a purchase or write a check to pay a bill, you simply will ask yourself: “Will the bank process the check or authorize the credit card transaction?” Then just watch your bank account balances undergo stunning changes.

In order to provide this service, we will need to supplement our staff with specialists qualified to decide for you whether or not the purchase or payment was necessary or wise. We will deduct 30 cents out of every dollar in your account to provide that valuable service. We predict you will notice significant changes in your account balances and buying habits by the end of the first quarter of the year.

You have this same arrangement with your health insurance provider, so we are certain you will be just as happy with your new arrangement with us.

Unfit for democracy

When people prefer to have someone they didn’t choose, like Bernie Madoff, Ken Lay or Ivan Boesky, between them and their doctors, over someone they chose in public elections, they have little faith in democracy and less in their voting capabilities.
