The two points you mention are right on.
1. 100% government-run health care is a nightmare waiting to happen.
Fact - I have a Medicare Advantage plan provided by a private company. It has so many more benefits than government-provided Medicare that it is day and night. The coverage is greater and my out of pocket is much less than Gov. Medicare. My cost for much better coverage is exactly the same as I would pay for gov. Medicare. What does this prove? It proves that anything the government touches turns to crap. The government-run Medicare offers an inferior product for the same money the private provider charges for a far superior product.
If the only option were Government-run health care our health care would greatly suffer. You would wait for reduced treatment as the government would make all the decisions concerning your health care. Euthanasia would become the order of the day as the government would be able to reduce the number of Social Security recipients by reducing life-extending health care for the elderly.
2. Taxation on unrealized capital gains would be a nightmare for taxpayers. Once again, the elderly would be the first to suffer. They are setting on huge unrealized capital gains in their homes. They would have to sell their homes to pay the tax. When death occurs those who inherit property would have to sell the property and pay the taxes. This would end the generational family farm tradition in the US. Who would decide how much capital gains exist? The Government of course.
If you paid the tax and your home decreased in value would the Government refund any of your money?
It would be a nightmare for all but the Government who would do as they pleased. It would magnify the power of the Government so that all business owners, stockholders, farmers, and homeowners would be at the mercy of the IRS. Total Government control and ownership are the goal, and the communists will not be satisfied till that control is complete.
In the mind of the communists, there is too much freedom and wealth controlled and enjoyed by the people.
They believe "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" as God-given rights of the individual are anathema.
In the end, the American Marxist desires to rule every aspect of life. They wish to control all education, parenting, health, reproduction, longevity of life, production, and consumption of the masses.
You, as an American citizen, will have no rights or freedoms other than what the Government chooses to grant you. Thought crimes will be the step following speech crimes.
The only thing that stands in their way is the Constitution and those who will defend it. |
