Im Just a Law
LAW (singing): Im just a law, yes Im only a law,
And I dont know why they passed me at all.
Cause no one knows what is in me
No ones read a darn word,
I was typed up last night
By a 20-year-old nerd,
But Pelosi twisted elbows all day.
How I hoped and prayed they would stall
But today, all in all, Im a law.
BOY: Hello, Law, why so glum?
LAW: Im two thousand pages long and no ones even read me yet.
BOY: Then how did they pass you?
LAW: The Democrats used something called reconciliation.
BOY: Recon-what?
LAW: It means they can write any bill and pass it whenever they want. Its against the rules.
BOY: That doesnt sound very democratic.
LAW: Actually, it is! In a pure democracy, the majority rules.
BOY: But I thought we lived in a republic!
LAW: Me too, kid. Me too.
(singing) Im just a law, yes Im only a law,
And they dont know what is in me at all.
Do I ban incandescent light bulbs? Do I tax gasoline?
End health care as we know it, if you know what I mean?
Or maybe I just spend lots of dough,
Hey, youll never know, its too late
Because Nancy and Harry sealed your fate.
...!

Kill the Golden Goose
BOY: Hey, Barry!
GIRL: What are you doing?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Im making dinner for all of us! How would you like roast goose?
BOY: Mmmm!
GIRL: But where will we get it?
OBAMA: Look!
(He points to a golden goose in the distance).
OBAMA (singing): Lets go kill the Golden Goose
It means more food for me and you,
Kill the Golden Goose today,
Before she runs away!
OBAMA: Look at those breasts and thighs and legs!
GIRL: But doesnt she lay golden eggs?
OBAMA (singing): Yes, but you dont understand.
There are hungry folks throughout the land!
They need the food, dont make them beg!
Its better than a dumb old egg.
BOY: I thought the eggs helped mom and dad.
OBAMA: Listen, my naive young lad. The goose was put on this earth to help people. If she just lays golden eggs, the only person she ever helps is her owner! But if we kill her, we can serve ALL Americans, not just the wealthy few.
(singing) What good is a lump of gold
When youre starving, shivering in the cold?
So lets go kill the Golden Goose
It means more food for me and you
Kill the Golden Goose today,
Before she runs away!
BOY: How did the goose get so fat?
OBAMA: Let me tell you a story. Long before you were born, a man named Ronald Reagan decided to feed the goose instead of the people. He wanted it to lay more eggs for its owners. He called it trickle-down.
BOY: Thats greedy.
GIRL: And unfair!
OBAMA: But we put a stop to that. Before we got here, geese ran wild. Now theyre regulated
BOY: like a child!
GIRL: Wait a minute has PETA heard?
OBAMA: Yes, they cant wait to axe THIS bird!
(singing) So lets go kill the Golden Goose
It means more food for me and you
Kill the Golden Goose today,
Before she runs uh oh!
(Taxpayers holding pitchforks appear).
TAXPAYER 1: All right, Barry, let her be.
TAXPAYER 2: Its not your bird, its owned by me.
TAXPAYER 3: Without this goose, wed all be poor.
OBAMA (shaking his fist): Next time your goose is cooked, for sure!
Did you catch this the other day?

Obviously, they're doing what the People want.
Why does that video forget to mention that when they dumped the tea, they tried to frame the natives?Schoolhouse Rocks is one of the most popular DVD's I have. The above along with, "No More Kings" have always been the two most popular.
Funny how relevant they are today. From the later I like the line, '...he'll do what the people want...'

I was furious by the end of GW's last term. I don't have words to describe my feelings today.

Too bad. That's how America works.
Unless you intend to ignore the rights of most Americans just because they don't know what they're voting about or understand the issues or know anything about the candidates- are you saying our representative democracy doesn't work?

☭proletarian☭;2111495 said:Apparently, you're the minority. This method has been used many times and the CBO projects no meaningful increase in deficit,unlike Medicare Part B. If people have a problem with it, why do they keep reelecting the same people?
Unless you're saying we should ignore the will of the People and let a minority (Oligarchy) run the country because they know better than everyone else.

There are at least 30 moderate/blue dog dems who were voted into office by people who DON'T want them to vote for this Bill. Had they known that Obamacare was a reallity it is very likely many people voting for this unconstitutional piece of crap would not have been elected!

No, not with anything anywhere close to the impact this will have. Not without bi-partisan support of some kind. Not when the majority are saying 'No' to the package, not with the strongly opposed with a 2:1 to the strongly approve. Nope.
It may need to be updated to the 2010 Democrat version, you know, how some dog turd can become a law because the Dems "deem" it so.
