Look closely at 'change' Obama wants to bring
Published Tuesday, August 19, 2008


Unlike The Island Packet and the rest of the mainstream media, a recent letter to the editor correctly pointed out that Barack "Mr. Change" Obama's universal health care insurance will cover 12 million illegal immigrants.

So if you violate the law, come into the U.S. illegally, we will put a stop to illegal immigration by rewarding you with health insurance. Can you see the line of illegals forming to go back now? Why bother going back to a country with no such medical support? Better build that fence even higher. There might be a few more trying to sneak in.

Do you remember the dregs of Cuban society that came to the U.S. as part of the Mariel boat lift? Maybe Barack is too young to recall.

How are we going to pay for this? Easy, we'll just tax the top 1 percent of the income earners and those evil corporations.

What happens if those being taxed move out of the country to someplace with a less onerous tax structure? We already outsourced blue-collar and middle-management jobs, so let's force the rest of the companies and high earners to leave, too.

Uh-oh. Does that mean the lost tax revenue will now have to be made up by you and me?

We better start praying for the rich. Do what you can to keep them here and paying taxes.

Do you realize that by "change" he means full blown socialism?

Think about the change that is being offered.
