This is another attempt at explaining the propaganda hidden inside these promises of "free" things from the government when someone is running for a political office. There are other things they also tap into such as envy, jealousy, etc. The main thing I want to explain is that these people are LYING to you. Quit believing the lies.
Why do I say this?
Let's talk about Free education.
How does education happen?
It requires teachers, materials, buildings, utilities for those buildings, etc.
How can it be free? Are the teachers agreeing they no longer need to collect a wage?
School books, computers, art supplies, etc. Who will make those for free? Is there some magical company that agrees to do that for free? Do their employees agree to work for free?
I don't think so.
Buildings. Are they going to magically build themselves? Do we not need to hire people to build them? How about the people that maintain and repair them? Is that free too?
Now utilities. Garbage Disposal, Electricity, Gas, Water? All of those services and keeping those functional those are free as well?
No they are not.
So given that NONE of that is free. How can a government give everyone FREE education?
Do you know of any product the government produces? Generally they create rules, and wars. They are also typically highly inefficient so you could say they produce waste. That's about it.
So if they don't produce anything how are they going to pay for this FREE stuff?
If you think they will "print money". You'd be partially right. However, the federal government in 1913 actually gave the ability and control of printing money to a private banking cartel known as the federal reserve.
So when our government wants more money they really have two ways to do it.
First. They can increase taxes. So they will take money from your pocket, my pocket, and everyone elses pocket. (even those not in need of an education) and pay for it that way.
If they say NO NEW TAXES but promise you free things then they have to go to the second method.
They take out a loan. You see that is how the federal reserve works. The government says "we need more money" and the federal reserve prints it as a LOAN and starts charging interest. It is not backed by anything. So these banking families offer a loan on something printed out of thin air and backed by nothing. Yet the government must pay interest payments to the federal reserve for this loan that the cartel created out of thin air.
The same year 1913 the government created this Federal Reserve. They also created the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) and began charging income tax. Think about that... for over 100 years the United States government operated without being able to steal money from your paycheck. They even fought and paid for several wars. How did they do that?
How does the government pay the interest? They either use taxes, or they take it as debt. Remember they don't actually produce anything they could pay for these things with.
So if the government takes debt, what is that? Essentially it is as if they took a credit card out in your name, my name, and other citizens name and then they spend it. We don't get to spend it ourselves. So they put us into debt to pay for these "FREE" things.
Essentially when you hear a politician promising you "FREE" anything it should send very loud warning alarms for you. This is essentially this guy telling you he is completely comfortable with taking money from other people (even if they don't approve) and spending it. That includes you. Any promise of "FREE" you will end up paying for some other way. They can't give you anything FREE. They can just confuse you and make you think it is free because they don't explain how it is paid for.
Now how about health care.
Health Care and Health Insurance are very different things.
Health Insurance is becoming so expensive that with the deductibles, premiums, copays, as well as the rapidly accelerating costs due to a guaranteed pay check and it is virtually unusable. It is a great way to ENSLAVE the population by making them think they are getting something.
I financially am the best I've ever been in my life. I am the only person in my family with health insurance as we can't afford it for anyone else. I also have the best insurance I can get, and it is almost unusable. It is far more difficult to get actual HEALTH CARE than it was before this insurance existed.
So they talk about how we want to take INSURANCE away from people and how tons of people will die. INSURANCE is NOT Health Care. It is a scam.
Anecdote:
I went to the E.R. a couple of weeks ago with my Anthem Blue Cross Gold PPO. I wanted to make sure I wasn't having a heart attack as I had a lot of the symptoms. I paid $250 co-pay. I pay about $600/month for my premium. I was there for two hours. I got two EKGs. I got one chest x-ray. I got two blood draws. I didn't even take my pants off or shoes. I sat in one of their chairs for two hours while they monitored me.
They billed the insurance claim of $6000+ for that. The insurance paid $4000+. I owe $1700+ on top of that $600/month and $250 co-pay.
Before all of this insurance scam and guaranteed paychecks the overall bill would have been a fraction of that. The insurance is designed so people won't use it that often. It is intentional as it maximizes the profit margins of the insurance companies.
So it is important you realize that INSURANCE is not the same as HEALTH CARE. I state it is far more difficult and more tedious to get HEALTH CARE now than it was a decade ago. So they put FEAR into people when this is attacked and talk about how you want people to die. They play upon emotions. I would suspect less people are getting health care now than they were before these stupid INSURANCE laws/bills existed.
So if less people are getting health care DUE to the insurance and how it is done wouldn't it be logical that more people are dying?
So how FREE or AFFORDABLE is my so called health care with the passing of things like AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE?
You see they are NOT offering Universal Health Care. Not even close. They are offering Universal Health Care INSURANCE that you have to pay insane amounts for. Insurance is NOT health care.
This is what socialists think will work. Yet it never does. Socialism is another name for self justification of stealing from others to pay for the things you want. Such people have been studied and they donate less to charities than non-socialists. Why should they? They can steal your money instead and then tell you how they are giving you free things.
Such as Obamacare and the fact males pay for maternity care even if they are not married, can never physically get pregnant, etc. Steal from everyone to give an insurance company its guaranteed paycheck. Why should that insurance company compete if they are guaranteed payment? It turns out socialism is the ultimate form of cronyism and monopolies.
