Reader responds to Collins’s Oct. 18 commentary on Obamacare




I ask this question to you, Miss Collins: If this socalled Affordable Care Act is so good, then why did so many people and companies ask for deferment or exemption altogether? The Democratic Party alone came up with this, which most people call Obamacare.

Me? I call it the largest Ponzi scheme ever placed on the American taxpayer. The system of healthcare may have needed to be revamped, but this, in its introduction, was and is Socialism at its worst(or best), depending whether you like to make your own decisions about yourself and to whom you want to give out personal information. This thing is Un-American and very intrusive. The real reason for all this is not what you would think of as your Federal Government. This is straight from the Soviet handbook! That means power and complete control of you, both physically and personally.

Why did the Democratic Congress, unions, and people generous to the Obama campaign not want any part of this monstrosity?

Are you telling me and the readers of this paper that you trust this bunch of Socialists? Being retired military, they already have as much information on me as I think they need.

This Democratic Party is the same one who vilified Judge Robert Bork when he was nominated for the supreme court because he would have used the Constitution in making decisions, as he had done during his legal career. Then you add on the vilified list Sarah Palin, Mr. Romney and his wife. Now, they are doing their nasty work on Senators Mike Lee and Ted Cruz. Not only did the entire Democratic Party lie about Mr. Romney, but the mainstream media lied about him also.

Adolph Hitler once said that if you tell a lie often enough, people will believe it. I have read where the Democratic Party was called the party of liars.

Mr. Bernie Madoff could have learned a lot about Ponzi schemes from the Democratic Party.
