The Health Care Debate: Are the intentions even legitimate?
This entire debate is NOT about health care… It’s about Power and Control.
So I was just thinking… and I’m not a lawyer, but I do happen to have a pocket constitution.
May I ask: Why is it just accepted that Congress even has the right to vote for themselves into LAW so much power over the health, into the privacy, and with deciding power over the lives of the American people?
Has anyone pondered this? We’ve gotten so caught up in the debate, I never thought to ask… “Wait a minute, who do you people think you are to even CONSIDER that you have the authority to grant yourself such a vote for so much power?”
If a government body did have such a power, it most certainly Would Not Be vested in the centralized Federal Government, it’s nowhere in the Constitution. Such a power, assuming it even exists (which it doesn’t!) would be vested in the individual states, this IS in the Federal Constitution.
The 10th Amendment:
“Reserved Powers of the States”
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the States respectively”.
What business do they have attempting to acquire control over the entire health care system? In the military this would be one of those situations where someone would tell those in Congress… “STAY IN YOUR PAYGRADE!”
I’m Jason Bradley and I’m just saying….

I would love to start a movement of people that if you do not pay taxes you get no vote. It is embarassing to think that people who have no vested interest in America and pay a small amount of tax get a vote. We fund the poor way too much.
Obamacare is a joke. It will do nothing but raise rates.
Its getting to the point where people can "vote" themselves whatever they want, by finding politicians to make the promises for the constituent's vote. Its sick. Its also something the founders warned us about.
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3: the so-called Commerce Clause
Articlw 1, Section 8, Clause 18: the so-called "Necessary and Proper" Clause
That's what gives Congress the power to regulate this. Now, if you want to sign up with Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) and lead a secessionist movement citing the 19th Amendment, you're free to do so, but you'll be going up against 200 years of settled law in the process.

I see your point Mike, however, I'm not sure that paying taxes = a smart vote or vice versa. I'm a full-time graduate student who happens to presently not make an income and actually has never made an income (thus far) that left me in a high enough income bracket to pay taxes. HOWEVER!! I have common sense and for the sake of our country and my own personal future (I of course will not be a student forever) would never support such ridiculousness as Obamacare, Cap and Trade…..
