Big Brother is Looking in Your Window

If you have about 5 plus days to read and analyze the entire 1,018 pages of the ‘‘America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009“, you might be as overwhelmed as I in regard to the vast amount of feely, feely and touchy, touchy that this act requires at every level of implementation, compliance, reporting, auditing, and enforcement.

My calculations, although not certifiable, indicate that this Act will create approximately 11,100,000 new jobs. These will be high-paying jobs that will possibly average close to $100,000 annually. The total annual cost of these 11,100,000 new jobs will be in the range of 1,110,000,000,000 (One trillion, one-hundred and ten billion dollars). If you think this One Trillion Dollar plus amount represents the total annual expense of this Act, well you will be disappointed to learn that it is just a small percentage of the total annual cost. The first Trillion plus dollars doesn’t actually treat anyone for their medical needs, it only pays for the paperwork and availability of qualified administrative and medical personnel to certify that your treatment can commence.

This Act is mind-boggling when you realize just how much government meddling into what otherwise would have been the private affairs of U.S. Citizens will occur. It requires that you divulge, either willingly or unwillingly, information such as your assets, bank account balances, tax returns, amount of disposable income, and it goes on and on and on. The amount of accountability and filing of government forms by businesses is enough to discourage people from starting a business, or remaining in their current business.

Neighbors, for any good that will result from this Act of Socialism, there will be some serious damage inflicted on the citizens and businesses of our great country.

The “Face” of our country is being changed to reflect a liberal expression that goes far beyond our previously conceived idea of liberalism versus conservatism. Are we about to see Big Brother explode upon the scene as more than what was depicted in George Orwell's novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four? In his novel Big Brother is a fictional character, the enigmatic dictator of Oceania, a totalitarian state taken to its utmost logical consequence - where the ruling elite ('the Party') wield total power for its own sake over the inhabitants. Anyone who only watches the evening news and never reads a newspaper and isn’t blinded by the charisma-factor of Obama, can readily see the similarities between real time now and the totalitarian state, Oceania.

God help America, not God damn America.
