So said 71% of Missouri voters on a recent ballot regarding the so-called “Obamacare”.

 It has been put forth by Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen that this vote “doesn’t tell you what people’s view of health reform is”  because of a “lopsided turnout” at the polls. Apparently, many more people showed up at the polls who were against health care reform than those who supported it – therefore how could the vote be fair? This is the sort of logic that is becoming more and more prevalent today.

Further, Missouri Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, who backed the health care law says that the opponents of health care reform simply do not understand the positive aspects of the bill. This is certainly true. There are few people — if any — who have read and understand the Big Government 2000 page health care reform bill. Sen. McCaskill may be one of them. But most Americans haven’t a clue just what the bill means and how much it will cost them. Calling people stupid is not the way into our wallets. Besides, if you are looking to read something lengthy and of value, rather than read a 2000 page health care reform bill that has a rambling plot, people would be better served by reading Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged”.

This all of course misses the point that Americans all over are trying to say.

We do not want a new law with “positive aspects”, we do not want new Big Government benefits, we do not want to be told what to do by Big Govrenment bureacrat experts, we do not want Big Government meddling into our personal affairs – and we do not want to be forced to pay for it all. Why not a Federal government that simply does what it is allowed to do through the Constitution? Leave all of the charity and public good to the people. We are smart enough and generous enough without Big Government Bureacratic Mandates.
