Yes, screw the private profiteers.

More and more, I'm thinking it's time to say to hell with political conservatives. Give 'em the shaft. Run roughshod over 'em. They'd do the same to political liberals. So, have no mercy. I used to think, be kind to your enemies. But sometimes, your enemies have absolutely no scruples. They don't give you a fairshake. Therefore, I'm coming to the conclusion, screw 'em. Now that we liberals are in a position of relative power. Yes, let's be highly partisan. And force through a public option for health care. Preferably, a single payer system. Because it's the right thing to do. For the common good. Let's get the private insurance companies out of the picture. After all, they're in it to make a profit. Something like 20 percent. While the government-operated Medicare program runs on administrative costs of only a little over 3 percent. Yes, health care for everyone should be designed to provide health care, not profits. The for-profit system is immoral. Wrong. Just as wrong as it was when our nation was initially founded on a slave economy. Took us a long time to get it right. Anyway, the profiteers in health care are firmly entrenched. They have the money to oppose reform. The pharmaceutical companies, alone, are spending millions of dollars daily to try to kill reform. And they're succeeding. But our liberals are trying to do something about it. Bit by bit. We need a breakthrough now. Democrats could force the issue. But to do that, they have to rally courage and fortitude. They have to fight dirty. They have to go to battle. With the intent of taking no prisoners. Yes, royally screw the conservatives and the private profiteers. --Jim Broede
