They Are Lying to Us

(Remarks prepared for speaking to the Single Payer Rally Outside of the American Health Insurance Plans convention, June 16, S.F.)

Ronald Reagan is famous for proclaiming as the nine most terrifying words in the English language as, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

Well, I have the five Truest words in the English language-- THEY ARE LYING TO US!

When they tell us there is no money for healthcare...
THEY ARE LYING TO US!
When they tell us there is no money for MediCare...
THEY ARE LYING TO US!
When they tell us that Canadians come here for healthcare...
THEY ARE LYING TO US!
When they tell us that insurance companies are better than the government...
THEY ARE LYING TO US!
When they tell us that single payer will not work...
THEY ARE LYING TO US!
When they talk about "entitlements"...
THEY ARE LYING TO US!

You now they talk about it as if we act entitled. When in their usual projective way, living in "opposite world", they are the ones who act entitled.

ENTITLED to their TARPs; ENTITLED to their Bailout;, ENTITLED to their recissions; ENTITLED to their denials; ENTITLED to their obscene profits and salaries; ENTITLED to their low or no taxes;
ENTITLED TO DESTROYING THE MIDDLE CLASS !

We are not ENTITLED! We have WORKED for and EARNED our Social Security;We have WORKED for and EARNED our MediCare; We have WORKED for and EARNED our paycheck; We have WORKED for and EARNED our right to a decent life, a decent standard of living; and we sure as hell are WORKING for and EARNING our SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE !

SO REMEMBER NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY-- THEY ARE LYIN' TO US! LYIN' AS IN RYAN! (GODDESS BLESS YOU WISCONSIN!!)
SO REMEMBER NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY-- THEY ARE LYING TO US!

/:And what do we say... SINGLE PAYER NOW!:/
