On The Second Day Of Christmas.......

On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me.....sanity! Finally we've found a judge that understands the Constitution. It's not a surprise that it took so long, 43% of Americans found favor with mandated healthcare. That's a great indicator that 43% of our fellow countrymen don't understand the Constitution. Don't get me wrong, it's a noble cause to make sure everyone in the nation is under the safety net of quality healthcare. But demanding people purchase something, anything, under penalty of a fine imposed by those in power is tyrannical, and a direct violation of the principles this country was founded upon. In fact it's down right dictator like.

The freedom of choice is a wonderful thing, but it does come with responsibilities. One of those is to protect that which insures our freedom. That's the only insurance the government should offer, and to violate that mandate should be punishable by a fine or prison, because it is a crime to limit our God given rights.

There is a way to offer healthcare to those who cannot afford it in this country and stay within the boundaries of our Constitution. It's called charity. Charitable foundations like St. Jude's Hospital for Children, or The Shriner's Children's Hospital are fine examples of how society deals with this issue properly. No fraud, no waste, innovation, and quality healthcare at no cost to the needy. They employ a multitude a fantastic staffers and offer opportunity for the community to volunteer. And the best part is....not a politician in sight. Want to bet that has something to do with the impressive quality and lack of waste?

Christmas is a time of giving, be sure to consider a contribution to one of these fine charities. They keep government out of the mix, and provide a much needed service to those in need. They are spectacular examples of how a free market society, solves and provides for those in need.

God Bless!
