PLUTOCRACY

  1. the rule or power of wealth or of the wealthy. 
  2. a government or state in which the wealthy class rules.  
  3. a class or group ruling, or exercising power or influence, by virtue of its wealth.  
Sound familiar?  It should, we're living it.  Just saying.

Bill Cosby is a Wise Man

Bill Cosby is a wise man, I couldn't agree more with his comments on the Trayvon Martin killing.

"We’ve got to get the gun out of the hands of people who are supposed to be on neighborhood watch....
Without a gun, I don’t see Mr. Zimmerman approaching Trayvon by himself. … The power-of-the-gun mentality had him unafraid to confront someone.  Even police call for backup in similar situations. When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody.”

How did we let the gun lobby become so powerful???

Happy Easter!

Repeal Obamacare? Really?

I honestly think that most of the people who are against Obamacare really don't have any understanding of why they are opposed to it, they are only against it because they've been told repeatedly by the right wing media pundits and ideologues that they are not suppose to like it.  The main reason seems to simply be the fact that it was President Obama who proposed it and they are opposed to anything that he proposes.  I don't think they truly understand the consequences of repeal, go ahead, ask any of them the following questions:  

Are you opposed  to coverage for those with pre-existing conditions? 

Are you opposed to preventative medical care being covered?

Are you opposed to children staying on their parents plan until they reach 26?

Are you a fan of lifetime and annual limits on insurance coverage?

Do you oppose access to out of network ER services?

Do you oppose the right to appeal health insurance decisions?

Do you oppose expanded medicare coverage? 

Are you opposed to access to birth control coverage?

ARE YOU SURE THAT REPEAL IS THE ANSWER????

Lest you forget, the old system wasn't working out too great, moving back to it will leave millions of people without insurance coverage and costs soaring.   Add in the fact that the Republican healthcare alternative seems to be 'do nothing' or 'let them die', those are hardly attractive alternatives. 

What is so wrong about mandating that everyone get covered anyways?  Everyone will need coverage at one point or another won't they?   Why should those who get insurance be punished with higher rates because some people decide to risk it and go without?
