During the height of Tea Party rebellion against the Affordable Care Act, I wrote a poem to share my disgust with every single one of them. Since they still insist on trying to overturn the Affordable Care Act and have determined Chief Justice John Roberts is public enemy #1 for his stamp of approval of the mandate, it still seems applicable now.

An idea credited to Dr. John Petrocik, professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia, Issue Ownership Theory is where candidates for office will talk to voters to a greater extent on those issues for which they have a consistent reputation of performing better (http://darp.lse.ac.uk/...). For example, Democrats tend to discuss issues about the social safety net (Social Security) and education. Republicans will focus on issues related to size of government and taxes. Although not absolute, opinion polling has historically shown support for this theory.

Whoever said "those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat" is of great importance here as I discuss the consequences of placing such a high level of protection for cash by equating it to freedom of speech. There was a time when money equaled not only freedom of speech, but the ability to silence others who did not have the benefit of wealth; where concentration of wealth was a status beyond all others. People were being defined by what they had; the poor was considered inferior as human beings and the rich were looked at as the chosen...

Bush's job is to make decisions, I won't argue that, if he worked for any type of business though he'd be fired quicker than you can say "I'm the decider". Every one of us have a job, or had a job. We know there are consequences with wrong choices and that we must own up to them when we do mess up. Like the case is with my job...
