Start thinking about what we can do to stop Obama’s train from completing its trip to destroy America!!!!! There are many things that we can do as a nation. First and most important we can unite as concerned citizens and form groups that have as their main objective the goal of stopping the Obama train NOW!!!! We must stop the formation of a BIG TENT that will house conservatives with conservative or moderate democrats because democrats are still liberals no matter what tent you place them in!!!

I would urge you to start using Obama’s Community Organizers as a guide and use their tricks and traps against the socialists in our government. You can find information about these groups by going online to www.discoverthenetworks.org.Search the website for these groups and learn about them and start forming your own community organizer groups to become activists and help take back our country!!! You can also watch Glenn Beck on Fox News Channel because he is going to show us how to organize, demonstrate and react in a way that will start the socialists heads spinning!!!! Glenn will use most of 2010 to set the stage for his “Plan To Take Back America” and he will have several meetings in cities across America. Finally, sometime in August in Washington DC at the Lincoln Memorial Glenn plans to stage a massive gathering of concerned citizens.

Citizens must come together and stop this Socialist Democratic Party from destroying our country. George Soros has taken over the Democratic Party and there are very few conservative democrats left. The radical liberals are not concerned about the middle class or the lower class or any class. They are only concerned about power and control and they will destroy America if they must in order to get what they want. It does not matter to them what the citizens want so it is up to us to get rid of them. If you need help in starting your groups please don’t hesitate to send me an e-mail. Several have already contacted me with requests for information. I am going to contact Glenn Beck to see if he can hold one of his upcoming meetings somewhere in the area and will let you know the results of that request. Check my website www.myretiredvoice.com for future information.

Socialist Propaganda is now very evident on most T.V. News Shows. ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNBC, NPR, CNN, and even the Weather Channel are all following the socialist and liberal view and not even trying to hide this fact. It appears that they believe that the public masses can not think for themselves so they, the Main Street Media, are doing a public service by thinking for their viewers.

Apparently most,if not all, of the people who continue to watch these news sources need this information. However, this provides the liberal media with a means to exploit those who are not prepared to think for themselves. The American people must wake up and understand that what they are viewing is nothing more than social propaganda because only one view is presented and that is the liberal view!!! If you want to become informed about what is really happening I would urge you to view the Fox News Chanel or the Internet sites that I have posted on my web site at www.myretiredvoice.com.

The American people have to understand that those who write TV commercials are not the only experts with skills in perception management! These other experts all have a deep understanding of the methods of Social Propaganda and in today's world the liberals don't hesitate to use these skills. Everyone must understand that a persons perception of things around him/her is their reality. These Socialists are attempting to alter perceptions in order to change reality. If we don't stay alert then they will win and they will "Fundamentally change America". Have you heard this expression before?

 

JUST A RETIRED THINKER!

New Medical Tax

According to Mr. Morris www.dickmorris.com President Obama is planning to reduce the cost of medical care by taxing it! This new medical device tax is very troubling since it will be affecting those that can least afford it or survive it. As more details of the health care bills emerge, the more they seem to be over the top.  The Senate Finance Committee bill includes a broad provision taxing all manner of medical devices.  This tax includes such things as pacemakers, stints, artificial heart valves, defibrillators, automated wheelchairs, mechanized artificial limbs, replacement hips and knees, surgical gurneys, laparoscopic equipment, and the like. It appears that senior citizens will again suffer most from this hideous Healthcare Plan that is about to be forced upon us.

Most groups that met with this Whitehouse had their chance to make a deal with this band of elitist robbers. But, unlike all those other groups, the medical device industry refused the deal. This posture enraged the tyrants in the White House who vowed to punish the industry with cuts imposed by Congress.  The result was a decision by the revenue-hungry Senate Finance Committee to extract billions in funds from the industry.

Mr. Morris suggests that the legislation does not work like a sales or excise tax.  Rather it follows the model of the punitive tobacco settlement imposed on cigarette companies in the 90s.  It assesses an industry-wide payment which firms must make in proportion to their market share.  It bars them from passing along the cost of the assessment by charging more for certain basic products, but allows them to raise the price of others to raise the funds for the fee.

So, the result will be that virtually every piece of advanced surgical equipment will be subject to a price increase to meet the levy from Washington. No matter that these devices often make the difference between life and death and that, in effect, taxing them raises the cost of vital treatments.  The vengeful White House will have its pound of flesh from the medical device industry for daring to be independent and to refuse to knuckle down to Administration pressure!

This tax, imposed in a spirit of haughty arrogance, falls on totally inappropriate objects.  Valves, prosthetic limbs, pacemakers, hearing aids, and such are essential therapies that make life longer, better, and less painful.  To tax these vital devices makes no sense.  Except, in the world of special interest group politics, that grips this take-no-prisoners and show-no-mercy White House. The most recent Gallup Poll reflected that 49% of respondents said they believed that the Obamacare plan will increase their health care costs.  Only about 20% said it would lower them.  It is taxes like these that substantiate this kind of concern and as more and more facts are learned then more people will be opposed to the new version of the healthcare plan.

Seniors must remain alert because this new plan as I indicated will be hurt the most. Please check the web site www.americanseniors.org for a better representation and health insurance for retirees. If you have AARP insurance then you will find that ASA is a better deal!!
