Socialize Movies Not Medicine

As America focuses on the “Oil Spill of the Century” this summer, another Obama disaster unfolds that started just one month earlier. The passage of ObamaCare has created another budgetary spill, which when all the numbers get tallied will be an economic “manmade caused disaster” of epic proportions that will effect more people at the times they’ll need it most.

Long after the “Gulf Spill of 2010” is over and the beaches and marshes return to normal (and they will), people, non-union of course: Obama’s buddies are always exempt, will be forced into a system that values saving itself over the patients it purports to care. America is actually in one respect getting a great gift from this tragic oil spill. It’s getting a glimpse of how government, even under the One, is often not only unhelpful but also a hindrance to solving a crisis.

The media will cover up Obama as much as they can, focusing on BP bad boy, CEO Tony Hayward, who didn’t really answer any questions posed to him by the inquisition otherwise known as congress. Never mind many Democrats especially the Clintons have trouble remembering when they testify.

Hayward also flew back to England and raced his yacht. How dare he have any sort of fun while the Gulf Coast is suffering? According to the media, even if he died, he’d still be wrong. Of course, Obama went golfing again. That’s how he feels the people’s pain. He’s already golfed more times since the Deep Water Horizon explosion than Bush did in his entire presidency.

Unsurprisingly, it hasn’t taken that long for the many promises of Obama to crumble. It’s only Obamatons who still believe. The promised wonderful ObamaCare deficit reduction has already disappeared. Actually, it’s only the illusion of deficit reduction that has vanished, and that was long before any of the supposed 31 million new ObamaCare recipients have gotten even one aspirin of care.

Another whopper is that people will get to keep their healthcare coverage. If there’s one little change in their plan, then it’s all bets off unless the plan is run by Obama’s union buddies who’ll get to keep their Cadillac plans without taxation. One has to ask if ObamaCare were so good, then why do the unions and congress want to be exempt.

Hollywood stars especially want socialized everything. Woody Allen even wants a dictatorship at least for a few years. Michael Moore thinks capitalism is a love affair gone dead and Cuban healthcare, i.e. Cuba-care, is the best in the world. Many other famous film stars would agree and even regularly visit Castro to schmooze and smoke cigars.

Celebs like Jack Nickleson, Ed Asner, and Sean “de” Penn who incidentally said this about his critics, “You know, do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer?” Penn for all anyone knows could actually be rectal cancer, but then that would be an insult to rectal cancer. And if Penn ever got rectal cancer, there’s a good chance it would be misdiagnosed as brain cancer.

Socialist stars are so prevalent in Hollywood, they ought to rename the place “Havanawood.” Better yet, they might as well move the whole town to Cuba. These commie-crats also blacklist anyone who’s a conservative. Remember Jannie Turner of Northern Exposure. She’s created a website that strongly supports the US Constitution, which she knows has cost her work.

It would be McCarthyism if pro-regressives were the ones being persecuted, but this hypocrisy is okay with those who shout the “M” word reflexively. What Hollywood believes today is a far cry from real American actors like John Wayne, Bob Hope and Ronald Reagan.

Some socialist stars might complain if government seized the movie industry. One could only hope so, but government could do more than just dictate what movies were made. After all a Film Czar would know just as much about movies as he would know about healthcare.

A Pay Czar if America had one, oh wait it already does, could examine anally (Sean Penn would like that immensely) an industry that probably has one of largest wage gaps in America. Big stars get paid more for one movie than most Americans in a lifetime. Conversely, many thespians struggle financially holding menial jobs just to eke by.

Pro-regressives proclaim profusely that the wage gap is too large and only getting worse. Why it’s bad is never quite explained. For as long as most wages spent wisely give a comfortable life, the gap is irrelevant. It’s what can be bought, not how much money one’s got.

The worst that can happen from socialized movies is bad films (some might claim that’s happening now), but ObamaCare will only lead to critical care being denied like socialized systems elsewhere in the world.
