Benito Mussolini
The voices and choices of the people are being trumped and trampled by the corporate behemoths of the insurance and pharmaceutical industry, and upon the backs of these behemoths sit all of the greedy, spineless, gutless U.S. senators.
Shame on them...and boot their butts out of the Senate!
Revolutions have been fought for freedom from tyrants.
Our own founders fought valiantly to free our nascent nation from tyranny.
The tyranny that is now among us---in front of us---within and without our nation---comes from the megalithic, corporate monsters who have taken control of our physical and economic lives.
Mussolini described the fascism which is now the tyranny whose iron claws hold the American people.
Well, all of the people except for the Insurance, Banking, and Pharmaceutical CEOs.
Our throats are being cut.
Our bodies are being gutted.
Our lives and future are being destroyed.
And, yes, I know that I and everyone else needs to eat healthier and live healthier.
(I still dislike exercise or heavy lifting.)
The Middle Class is a ghost of its previous self,
and the richest of the rich have gotten much richer while the poorest of the poor have gotten much poorer.
The banks have robbed us.
The insurance companies are robbing us.
It is no surprise, then, that neither want us to have an option to compete with their monopolization of health care.
And so the opposition pins its fearful names upon such a public option.
It's Socialism!
It's Communism!
It's Marxism!
It's Stalinism!
It's totalitarianism!
Obama is worse than Adolf Hilter!
Give me a break!
It's time to start another revolution.
Give the people a public option!
