Who is to blame?
We are lead to believe that Mitt Romney is responsible for
killing people because he closed a business. That is the commercial, that
is the advertisement, that is the assertion. Facts and the timeline of events place him years apart from the event characterized in the ObamaSiper PAC ad, but do not let that get in the way.
If I could take this serious, this extension of blame via
the (Kevin Bacon-Obama) connection of sources
folly, then the world would be open for lawsuit like never before.
The FDA would be a prime target. By making drug
companies pass tests, delay production and follow regulations the FDA is
keeping treatments from people that could save their lives. How many
people died before the drug was approved? What if the paperwork was run
from office to office at FDA headquarters? What if a legal assistant went
to lunch 10 minutes later so as to move along the rubber stamp of approval
quicker? The 1,000s of lives saved would surely be tangible and real.
How about the EPA? How many businesses have been shut
down, or not even been started because of the long list of regulations and
formalities forced upon them? How many people could be employed and thus
kept from the unemployment line and thus being forced to go without healthcare
insurance?
Why can’t we seek restitution from any and all businesses
that failed? Any business that fails has to lay off its employees thus
casting them out to the streets where they will lose their health insurance
coverage. Surely this gifted and creative super PAC can find instances of
laid off workers that have lost their health insurance and thus fallen into the
same circumstances as they portray. And once we have made this incredible
leap of connection, we can soon envision stuffing the courts with suits against
anyone that has ever been fired or laid off.
Why not go after the Government who, even before the
Affordable Care Act has so over regulated and over complicated the health care
system so that we already have 50,000,000 people uninsured and unable to buy
affordable insurance or afford the most simple care? If Mitt Romney is to
be blamed for closing a business that could not survive then the case has to be
made that the Federal Government routinely kills the citizen by making the
Healthcare system unwieldy and unaffordable to the average American.
What about Fannie and Freddie Mac? They drove the
housing market into the ground so that they could pay favors to their protected
patrons (House and Senate representatives), thus causing a depression and thus
putting American citizens on the streets and out of work. How many people
lost their health insurance coverage because of abusive lending practices
driven by Government mandated lending practices?
The list
goes on forever. Any case of hardship at
any time that is followed by a bad event within an acceptable time frame could
thus be grounds for lawsuit. If it is
one thing our over grown excuse for a Federal Government has shown us is that no
one is responsible for anything that happens bad in their lives; no one.
Maybe sometimes events in life happen and we all have to deal with them as best we can.
This blog was built for and funded by myself. Though the road I drove upon to earn the
paycheck I receive in exchange for my labor was built by someone else, my tax dollars
went towards funding it and the many other functions of our national, state and
local government. I am one of the 50% that
actually pay for our Federal Government and thus post proudly.
