We see it as an entrepreneurial bill.  A bill that says to someone if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work and focus on your skill, your talent, your passion, your aspirations, because you will have health care.  You don’t have to be job-locked.

Here is the video.

With unemployment already around 10%, why is Pelosi urging Americans not to work?  The whole Obama-Reid-Pelosi elitists are completely out of touch.  Do they not know how hard ordinary, decent Americans are already working in order to just pay their own way?  Why would our leaders encourage people to do nothing, and to push their burden on others?

The Democrats are stuck in their Utopian society.  This is America – where hard work is required, and handsomely rewarded.  If someone chooses to quit their job to pursue a music career, and they get sick, they should find a way to pay their own medical bills themselves.  If that means they need to get a paying job, so be it.  If that means they take out loans and are paying it off for the rest of their life, that is fine by me.

Nancy Pelosi’s comments have reminded me of a song…

I don’t want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don’t want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day

Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don’t want no candy, I don’t need no toy
I’d take a stick and an old coffee can
I’d bang on that thang ’till I got blisters on my hand

Because I don’t want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (yes, I do)
I don’t want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (that’s right)

Now Todd Rundgrens dream can come true.

Spitzer may have been a competent Attorney General, but New Yorkers have had a real shortage of honest, hard-working, transparent political leaders.  We don’t need to recycle one we finally got rid of.

New Yorkers have had two consecutive governors (Spitzer and Paterson) that have admitted to being unfaithful to their wife.  Spitzer admitted to hiring high-end prostitutes and narrowly avoided jail time.  Paterson, upon taking over when Spitzer resigned, admitted to cheating on his wife.  He also admitted to using Cocaine and Marijuana.

We had Comptroller Alan Hevesi convicted of using state employees for his personal use.  Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno recently convicted of Federal corruption charges.  Senator Pedro Espada, Jr is being investigated for various charges including living out of state, and has been videotaped with a colleague roughing up a Blogger saying that he is “trying to teach him manners.”  Senator Hiram Monserrate was convicted of assault of his girlfriend.

Of course, there are leaders like Assemblyman Jack McEneny.  He may look like an angel compared to the above-mentioned politicians, but it is unethical for McEneny to be collecting two checks from NYS in a time of financial crisis like this.

New York is in a crisis, and its financial issues are the least of its worries.
