Orin Hatch, Corporate Hatchet Man!!!

Orin Hatch, Senator R-UT, has some powerful friends. That link will show you just how much a Senator goes for now days. When Big Insurance, Big Pharma and Big Telecoms buy a pack of Senators, they are betting they will stay bought. Hatch and his plutocratic oligarch sidekicks sent a letter to the President. Just say no to a public health care plan is their message!

My writing mentor tells me to stay cool, be clear and concise but not vindictive or vitriolic. Sorry. These people will spare no expense bombing third world countries and deposing democracies and propping up terror states, but when it comes to working Americans getting a fair shake, well that is just impossible. Impossible.

Guys like this love two words, Strength and Leadership. It takes strength to be kind and giving and it takes a leader to make solutions work for everyone. We see none of these virtues in this crew. This is a transaction pure and simple. Rich white guys working for rich white guys, and EVERYONE ELSE needs to fend for themselves. Let racism and economic disparity keep working people fighting each other. Hell, it has worked for CENTURIES!!!

Senators have great health care coverage!! They gave it to themselves!! OK...breath...just breath...that's it!
