Shame On AARP
I used to think that AARP was a good thing – boy was I wrong! Last year, AARP showed it’s true face in California when it went on an all out offensive on Prop 98, the Eminent Domain ballot measure. They spent millions of dollars to steal property rights from American citizens so their members can enjoy living like parasites off other people’s backs.
Now, AARP is spending big money nationally on the proposed SOCIALIZED GOVERNMENT MANAGED HEALTH CARE proposals that are floating around congress. Of course, they support it because they want to steal more money from the American people to pay for their members that didn’t bother saving for retirement.
So you can imagine how amused I was to read the following in their October Bulletin: “Older Americans are speaking out in polls and public forums across the country – voicing their angry suspicions that health care reforms would cut Medicare benefits or increase their costs to help pay for covering the uninsured.”
I must say I got a real kick out of that opener for their propaganda article on page 12 of the Bulletin, since they state that their members are upset that they would have to pay for someone else. So let me get this, when the American people pay for retirees – that’s ok! When American people’s property rights are taken away and given to retirees – that’s fine too! But god forbid make the retirees pay for the uninsured – then they scream bloody murder. That is what I call hypocrites!
This propaganda article goes on to repeat the lies spread by the administration and the proponents of the SOCIALIZED GOVERNMENT MANAGED HEALTH CARE:
1) They claim that savings could be had by “doing things differently”. If savings could be had by just doing things differently, why don’t we implement those changes BEFORE we insure the uninsured? I vote we try those saving measures for 5 years to determine if they really work.
2) They perpetuate the lie that more insured would increase competition. That is an outright lie. Anyone who took economics knows that there is no competition in oligopolies, especially ones that have a captive audience. Ironically, the congress complains about lack of competition – which they created by pushing most players out of the field by creating barriers to entry via a web of legislation. So in effect, the congress is complaining about a problem they created.
3) The article states that Medicare is projected to run out of money around 2017. Shouldn’t that be the biggest red flag? The administration and the congress is mismanaging Medicare into the ground and that is just for people over 65. Now AARP wants the government to run everyone’s health care? But it’s not just Medicare that they are running into the ground – but also Social Security. One of the definitions of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. If this isn’t insanity – what is?
4) The aricle talks about how AARP members want their kids and grand kids to have great benefits too. What the articles forgot is that AARP members want to enslave their kids and grandkids to pay for something they didn’t both planning for.
AARP is bad news for hard working Americans.
