I was thinking about posting more statements from individual Democrats supporting the idea that ObamaCare’s true purpose was to redistribute wealth from the less-deserving to the more deserving, but Byron York has gathered them all into one piece:
By talking openly about redistribution, Baucus and others have gone seriously off-message. Democrats knew there was no way they could ever sell a national health care bill to a skeptical public by basing their case on income inequality. That’s one reason they went to such lengths to argue — preposterously, in the view of most Americans — that the bill could cover 32 million currently uninsured people and still save the taxpayers money.
Through it all, Obama further lowers the office to which he was elected by naming individual Americans in a whine about how badly he’s being treated. What’s enlightening and disturbing is that these leaders of the Democrat party are very comfortable telling us publicly that their true interest is in leveling that playing field.
Eventually, your outrage meter gets pegged in the red and just sticks there. It’s pretty tiring.
The only thing you can come away with is that if you believe in free-market principles, personal responsibility over government authority, and charity over confiscation, don’t vote Democrat. Party trumps person, and we are now witnessing the end result of what happens when you give the liberal left too much power.
