Voices (?) at the Town Hall

What Voice? I haven't even heard of a town hall in the Orlando area. But I guess there was one in Tampa that got out of control. I am not surprised. It is frustrating when someone is trying to ram something down your throat that you don't want, didn't ask for and are choking on.

Word of the day: monstrosity
  • Who wrote this 1,500 page monstrosity health care reform bill anyway?
  • Are sections assigned to different congressmen and then assembled in a giant kluge?
  • Has any Congressman read the entire thing? (only his/her contribution)
  • Are we just pulling sections out of context and then freaking out?
  • Why is AARP backing this when seniors benefit the least... "death Panel"?
  • Will our representatives have to participate in this same health care program (they don't participate in Social Security...if that program were any good they'd all be in it.)
  • How much will my taxes eventually be raised to pay for it? The chronic unemployed will have no tax increase, yet they'll have benefit of my hard work.

Inquiring minds want to know. Our only venue is the Town Hall Meeting and we are being treated like idiots. No wonder the "well dressed, well funded, angry mob? is getting a little fired up. All the screaming and pushing and finger pointing is not going to get our voices heard. Only fear of losing an election speaks volumes. Term limits/Fair Tax... Am I alone?

Everything is changing. People are taking the comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.
