A Congress of Fools

The Rede says in part "Live you must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give....These eight words the Rede fulfill: An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will."

Question: Just how many clowns does it take to control a Congress? Answer: A Simple Majority!

As Wiccans and as citizens of a Democratic Republic, we deserve a Government which performs it's business in such a fashion that they Fairly Take and Fairly Give and Harm None in the process.

Let me talk from personal experience about what our Congress of Fools has done to the Medical Insurance in this country. As a preface, let me first tell you that I work for a major US manufacturing firm in a salaried professional capacity. My employer provides what I like to refer to as Double Cross - Purple Shaft. My medical insurance is but an example of what has been called Obama Care by the Simple Majority who helped craft it, in our Congress of Fools.

In my case I have seen these results from the improved version of medical insurance:
Cost for Chiropractor or Specialist + 100%
Cost for medications + 45%
Costs for Doctor Visit + 33%
Deductible Costs + 20%
Insurance Premium + 33%
Covered Costs - 10% (Now paid for by patient)
Additionally, waits in queue for surgery (5 to 6 weeks for Thoracic Aorta Aneurysm)

Basically, we are talking about paying much more for less!

I believe that there is an agenda being fulfilled by the Simple Majority in a Contract on America's Middle Class.

We see in the news every day what the Party Members of our Simple Majority are doing to our Rights to Organize Labour Unions, to Teachers, to the unemployed, to women's rights, to discrimination against gays/lesbians, to our environment, to paying corporations with huge tax breaks to ship American jobs over seas, to delay the transition to clean energy & fuels to prop up the oil and coal industries making us dependent on foreign oil and endangered by related terrorism and ever rising costs for gasoline. Now to continue the Contract on America's Middle Class we will be forced to go broke trying to pay our medical bills while the millionaires don't even need to worry about paying income taxes.

Need I remind you that it was the party of the Simple Majority who lied to us and wrongly invaded a sovereign nation for revenge, oil and profits and created the national debt which has crippled our economy.

In all of the above, there is a common denominator, the Simple Majority is making sure that the Middle Class is paying the bills while corporate profits skyrocket.

So I ask you, Is our government and the Congress of Fools Fairly Taking and Fairly Giving and are they Doing No Harm?

But to be fair, we are but a Simple People who deserve a Simple Majority because We The People voted them to our well deserved Congress of Fools.

These are the Ways of the Witch...
