Right and Wrong on Health Care

With Barack Hussein's rush to nationalize our health care system, and his socialist congress ready to do almost anything to grant his every wish, there is an absolute frenzy of opinions out there on how it should be done. But of course, no opinions within the mainstream media will acknowledge the simple fact that we don't have the money to do it. Instead, they have been scrambling to come up with creative ways to get it.

Now it seems that none of the more imaginative stuff is going to work, probably due to the fact that they need a stack of dollar bills that would reach to the moon in order to get it done. So they are now falling back to the old tried and true method: tax the rich.

In this case, the "rich" are defined as those earning over $200,000 per year. Not hardly! But they need to start at that level in order to steal enough dollars.

I use the word steal, because that's exactly what it is. But I don't see the immorality of that acknowledged in any of these opinions. What I do read about is the morality of helping others to health care.

Let's get this straight: If a person wants to give money out of his paycheck to help others in this aspect or any other, that is an act of morality. But, if any person (say a congressman) takes money from your paycheck in order to hand it over to another who might not have as much, that is stealing; an immoral act.

I read many things from politicians, pundits and religious leaders that shame the United States, which is really to say us, in the supposed dysfunctional wreck that is our health care system. Yes, there are problems that need to be addressed, but the answer does not lie in stealing trillions more from U.S. citizens and then throwing it into a government-run cesspool of waste and corruption, which is exactly what it will become when the government runs it. Do you doubt that? If so, just take a look at any other government agency that you can name. That's what ultimately arises from people spending other people's money.

The point of this blog is to redirect the whole morality finger pointing to where the real immorality lies.

Just like when we were kids, if I wanted to give a marble to another kid, that was right thing to do. But, if the schoolyard bully came up and took one from me to give the other kid, that was wrong. That was stealing. Such a simple concept of right and wrong, but no different in the basic moral question. Where are the voices from our Churches on this aspect; our supposed moral authority?
