A recent Gallup poll shows that 49% of Americans want their member of Congress to vote against health care legislation this year. As the polling organization notes:
Since Gallup began tracking Americans' preferences for healthcare legislation earlier this year, there has never been a strong public mandate in favor of passing a law this year.
The poll also notes that 53% of Americans disagree with the way Obama has handled health care policy, while 40% support it.
So when you hear pundits talk about Obama ramming through a health care bill Americans don't want, you'll know they're onto something. Whatever emerges from the bowels of Congress certainly won't be bipartisan. And at this point, it won't even be popular.
But that's okay for statists. When a majority of citizens support something they like, they appeal to democracy. But when their false god turns away - as here - you can bet they'll make up some other justification for stealing from the productive members of society and giving it to those who never earned it. Statists will always find an excuse for parasitism.
The song remains the same.

I often wonder if polls are skewed in the same way juries are rigged- keeping the intelligent individuals from expressing their opinions. Maybe by calling only at certain times of day, or tossing out numbers that have not given the desired results in the past... or maybe just because only people with nothing better to do will talk to pollsters. (Yes, I have talked to pollsters a time or two) I suspect if they were not skewed, the support for "health scare reform" would be even lower.
Got something to say?
