I have some very interesting stuff that I've been researching and will unleash soon but for now... Back to the topic of the day (there is an uppety french way to say that but I refuse to speak the language of the coward!)
I have made it abundently clear and proven beyond any reasonable doubt that health care is NOT a right. I have also shown plenty of reasoning why the left is wrong on their entire perspective of health care (among other things. Now that that nonsense is out of the way I feel I must clarify my position on the whole thing.
First, the "general welfare" thing. It was made very clear that the framers of the constitution were opposed to anything that the government might do to favor one group over the other. Jefferson said that the majority must always prevail, unless it is at the expense of the rights and freedoms of the minority.
To take money from the "wealthy" in order to strictly provide for the poor is absolutly against the fundimental rights of the wealthy! Therefore it is, by definition, unconstitutional. It is tant amount to the majority (who is not rich) voting the money away from the minority (who is rich). This is the entirety of the, so called, health care reform movement.
The real problem is that we are often forced, by threat of violence, through our government, to pay into the health insurance system. It is the only way that those around us can be sure that if they can find a reason to file suit then there will be enough money to make it profitable for them to do so.
I believe that we should have a "public option". I think that we should be able to BORROW money from a public trust and then be held responsible to pay it back. We should have the choice of whether to pay insurance, pay cash for service or pay on a low interest loan from the public. That public option should be very strict, in that, if you choose to take the loan you will be required to make every effort to make timely payments. If you fail to pay then you should be treated just as if you had failed to pay your taxes. First garnish your wages and then if all else fails, go to prison.
This creates a fair competition for insurance companies while allowing them to make all of the profits and take all of the expensive trips that they would like! It disgusts me to hear the radical left complain about "all of the money" the CEOs of big insurance are making and all of the extravigent trips that they take "on the backs of sick people".
It's called profit, jackass! It's why they offered you the safety net of health insurance to begin with. Without them (and before them) you would have had to pay all medical expenses up front and there would have been no money left over for all of the great research that has led to todays unfathomable medical advances. So, stop whining about other people getting rich because they had a better idea than you...MORON!
My plan also creates a safety net for the poor, who already get far too much free stuff on the backs of those who are considered evil simply because they succeeded.On top of that, it reopens the route for charity. If there are no "free plans" for the rich to be taxed for then they will have the fredom to pick and choose, directly, who they help by "sponsering" an individual.
This is much more "fair" to the rich than just forcing them to pay into a pot from which people of all morality (and lack there of) can dip into. I guess the scumbags wont get much help. but then, they can still just work for it like everyone else does.
I know that there will be a certain amount of cost assotiated with the implimentation and enforcement of my plan, but, it will likely be relativly unpopular (because it requires people to pay back) so it will not require near the workforce as would the "free" plan that is being thrown around.
The purpose of the interest is to allow for those who "expire" before paying back their share. Basically, it will be a Bank. One that lends money without respect to credit but it will have the "Teeth" to get a return on its investment. I know it needs work, but it's a start... One that does not punish people for their success!

Liar Liar!
Ok, I've had enough! Lets put a stop to this right now...
I'm sick of hearing the word "liar" being thrown around so much. Face it, most of aren't liars, we just have different sources from which we gain our knowledge. But to get cornered in a debate and resort to calling the other party a liar is just childish.
Don't get me wrong, people do lie... I just prefer to question their sources and force their hand before I go all in on whining about their lies. For instance.. Bill Clinton lied about Monica. Reagan lied about the arms for hostages deal. Obama lied when he said that he wasn't after a single payer system... or maybe he lied all of those times he said he was... In any case, we know that these were lies because the facts have hit the table and the proof is in the pudding.
On the other hand, I had a leftist call ,me a liar when I stated that there were countless tons of WMDs spread around Iraq and recovered during the war. Just because the facts did not support their opinion does, it does not make them false. It is an absolute fact that we recovered WMDs over there, the scary part was that we lost a disturbing amount of those weapons during the whole thing.
I hear it on both sides, it seems like if someone doesn't know about something then they consider it to be a lie. So, from now on, when someone makes an outragious claim, do not call them a liar, call them out. Ask them where they got that info and check it out yourself. Go to their source and find it, then cross reference it with other sources. If you read enough perspectives you will eventually start to see where the truth sits.
This is how a master debater builds his knowledge without embarassing himself by resorting to name calling and refusing to see the rest of the truth. This is also how some left wingers find enlightenment and come to the right where the soul is in peace and the facts are the foundation for philosophy (not the other way around) as I did when i was just a teenager.

Flounders Dictionary/Translator
One of the biggest disconnects in political debates is the language barrier. Yes, we are debating in English but for the left words hold different definitions than for the right. For this reason I have created the left to right translation dictionary..
PATRIOTIC:
.....Left: Dessent is the highest form of patriotism, to agree with or support any governing body or fundamental reasoning would make you imperialistic. To be truly patriotic means that you should defy your parents, employers and founding fathers.
.....Right: To support and defend the ideals of your patriarch is the foundation of patriotism.
PATRIARCH:
.....Left: Clinton, FDR, Obama, Marx
.....Right: Jefferson, Washington, Madison
FREEDOM:
.....Left: The right to do whatever you want without being held responsible for the results. Freedom from being homeless, hungry, ill, lonely or otherwise uncomfortable is the governments responsibility to everyone, not our own.
.....Right: The right to take risks and be bound to the results. If a free man takes a risk and loses everything then he must find his own way out, if he gets filthy rich then he gets to keep all of it.
RIGHTS:
.....Left: Rights are granted by the majority, as long as the majority agrees with the left. Everyone has the right to take the excesses from the rich and equally distribute them throughout society.
.....Right: Rights are granted by god and they only include life, liberty and the product of ones own labor. For liberty see freedom.
THE RICH:
.....Left: An evil group of people who have taken the money from the poor and force them to work long hours as slaves to their own income.
.....Right: Those who have earned, through effort, a mass of money with which they often invest into private industry and create jobs while increasing wealth. Some of the rich worked enough to support several generations of their family, thus creating the illusion of "unworthy rich" which creates anger and jealousy on the left.
THE POOR:
....Left: Wise and worthy people who have been robbed of their opportunity by the mean rich people. They always have honorable intentions, even when they resort to crime in place of being forced to work as a slave to the rich.
....Right: people who, for whatever reason, have not yet taken the steps required to get rich. The rich want the poor to become rich so that they will spend more money.
JUSTICE:
.....Left: A system that punishes the rich for having so much money. Lawyers enforce justice through such acts as fining a company thousands of dollars because a poor guy bit into a candy bar that had a worm in it.
....Right: A system that gives every person a chance to defend his actions in front of an unbiased jury. The system is blind and cannot see the race or wealth of those involved.
US MILITARY:
.....Left: An organized crime unit, funded by republicans, who travels the world killing and raping civilians while claiming land in the name of oil.
.....Right:The best and bravest of Americas youth. They travel the world killing terrorists (hooah) in the name of spreading freedom in order to protect our own peace. They also spread food and water in times of emergency and rebuild most of what they destroy.
GUN CONTROL:
.....Left: Total governmental control over where every single gun in the United States is located. Keeping guns out of the hands of anyone beyond authority figures (military, police, Obama's youth army)
.....Right: A steady hand! The ability to place multiple rounds into a small grouping.
Feel free to add your own definitions and debate over them. for now, however, I think I've got the more important ones covered.
