Hillary: Meddling in personal affairs to benefit big business

It seems impossible that Hillary could get a single vote toward her candidacy for President after she was quoted by AP 2/3/08 that "she might be willing to garnish the wages of workers who refuse to buy health insurance to achieve coverage for all Americans."

But it didn't cause a stir. Americans are used to this kind of meddling though few, I think, see it as a bare-faced bribe for corporate support, in this case the health insurance industry.

Government and business are partners in plunder, as I wrote here 9/27/06, and it's worth a revisit:

A column published today by John Stossel draws a bead on the business-government connection. He mentions only big business, but I assure you the connection exists at all levels and can be seen in much of what happens in the execution of local, regional, and state taxpayer-supported projects. Though I'm surprised that Mr. Stossel seems to have discovered this truism only recently and then only skims the top of what really happening, his presentation is certainly recommended reading.

Here's the link.
