Banks are bad. Oil companies are bad. Insurance companies are bad. Drug companies are bad. That's the Democratic party line.
Since all these companies are bad, doing bad things, let's just have the government run them. You know, since the government never does anything bad. Hey, what a minute...
I am so sick and tired of hearing about how a company trying to make money is evil. When a company produces a product or service in America, every single American has a choice to purchase it. No one is forced to. Americans are free and they have the right to make a choice about whether a product or service is right for them.
Insurance companies for example - Insurance companies provide the service of insuring you or your property. They work with you to create the insurance package for you and you can say yes or no. You can choose to go with that company, another company OR to stay uninsured. Yes, there are people who choose to be uninsured. And they have the RIGHT to be.
In a recent town hall meeting in Montana, after being questioned about why he's vilifying insurance companies, Obama said that some insurance companies have said that they needed to take on more customers before they could make some of the drastic changes he is demanding of them. He made it sound like that was evil. Obama, this is a company, not a lollipop-gumdrop-kumbuya-not-for-profit-money-bin. These companies have to do what they can to stay in business, to keep their employees employed, to provide their customers with the services they were promised. Not only that, but they have a right to make a profit. Gasp! The Dems think a company making a profit is evil.
If an insurance company has bad practices and does evil things, they lose customers to another insurance company who is not doing those things. It's called capitalism. This goes with any business. If a person cant get a loan at one bank, they go to another bank. If the trainers at one gym are jerks, I go to another gym. It's competition in the FREE MARKET. And this free market allows Americans to have an abundance of choices - choices about healthcare, health insurance, checking accounts, motor oil, prescriptions, cereal, tampons, milk - EVERYTHING. That's what makes our quality of life so great.
And the Democrats want to kill that.

Brilliant! Isn't it amazing that this stuff is so simple to us but doesn't even occur to the fools in Washington! All you have to do is apply the principles you learn in 10th grade Econ! It shouldn't be a political debate. We should all be in agreement on what works and what doesnt. But they don't seem to understand! Frustrating to say the least!
The Soviets tried it Obama's way. They failed!
