Organized crime and the really cold Niagara Falls

By Roy Knox

The problem for our present government is how to extrude more money from the American citizen without raising their taxes? Not that they are ashamed to do so, but scientific polling confirms for every percent increase in taxes, millions of the independent voters will switch alliance.
There`s the rub, to remain as Godfather in this Government Mafia, it requires being in power and that requires the appearance of being benevolent. So just where does is a high percentage of the American worker money go? Health insurance of course, most people considers it a necessity. With some smoke and mirrors the Godfather can make the American people an offer they can`t refuse. Making it the law of the land didn`t hurt their cause either.
The Mafia will blow sunshine up the taxpayer’s backside, all the time using these little phrases “everyone deserves health insurance” or “you can keep your own doctor” or allude to the fact it will almost be free. The Mafia will name it”The Affordable Care Act” so you know it has to be. There will opposition, but it will be in effect before all the fine print is read and the suckers will have no recourse. This is just the start, this mafia machine has to be fed and that means vast amounts of more money.
Food, housing, and energy are the next likely targets. Is this far-fetched, totally unlikely, well who thought ten years ago the government would be in the health insurance business? How long will it be before the Mafia is telling you how many children you can have or who you are going to have for a legal spouse?
What does a plus size women`s clothing manufacture and the New Jersey Governor have in common? Well one is Lane Bryant and the other is Lane Blocker, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has all but ruined his chance to become the Republican candidate for the Presidency in 2016.
Christie claims he is not responsible for bridge lane closures and the huge traffic tie up and a death of a woman waiting on an emergency vehicle. I`m guessing that ship has already sailed. Besides, I had two heart attacks last year and I look like a health nut compared to that 350 lbs. sack of potatoes.
