Ben Stein on why the GOP Opposes HC Refrom, Stein: "Why are so many Republicans against more government interference in the health care system and so many Democrats in favor of it?

Yep. The political scene in America today can be summed up as taxpayers against the public employees and their charges. It explains EVERYTHING.

This needs to be hammered hard 24/7.

We don’t go to the parties, so we are tired of paying for the parties.

Long ago, our government became a collectionm agency for Charity -- only they put a gun to your head when they ask for your contribution. Then they give your money to friends of the government and pretend that the poor are benefiting.

There is no moral justification for any of this.

Not so fast. Even though he's right, it's A BAD BILL.
It won't do what it claims to do, it will intrude and insert the gov't into all aspects of our lives and yes, it will be too expensive.
Don't try to make it a matter only of stingy republicans versus needy democrats.
The problems with the Health Control bill goes way beyond the money.

Too bad Ben didn't think about this before sending financial support to Democrat and moon-bat crazy Senator Al Franken.

Isn’t that the truth with all entitlement programs?

Has Ben been a contributor half as much for Fox News since he backed Franken?

He'd definitely be an improvement over Colmes, Hill or Geraldo - all of whom have graduated from mute mode to change channel or turn off TV mode.

I don't know about Ben's appearances on Fox since donating to Franken, but it was a disappointment to read that he had done so.

You are correct, he's much better than Colmes or Geraldo could ever be.
