This is so completely lame. Just another indication of how stupid the politicians in Washington think you are. I'm talking about the White House response to those video clips that evil, mean, racist, bigoted, ugly, hairless (speak for yourself, Boortz) radio talk show hosts have been playing on the air.

OK ... definition first. We have to be clear on the definition of the term "single payer." This means that there's one entity that writes the checks for all health care services. Prescription drugs, doctor visits, hospital stays ... one person writes the checks. Now of course that one person will be the government. Now I suppose you could have a situation where that one person would be one insurance company ... but it would be an insurance company selected by the government and, of course, controlled by the government. Hopefully you can see if the "single payer" is the government, then the government decides what gets paid for and what does not. This means the government gets to determine the extent of your access to health care, prescription drugs, etc. "Single payer" sounds innocuous enough, but it is merely a euphemism for "government."

Now the current debate is whether or not Obama and the looters are taking us to a single payer plan .. a plan where government makes all the decisions as to who gets paid how much for what medical-related service. Those video clips you heard on the show earlier this week were pretty plain. We had Obama speaking to the AFL-CIO in 2003 saying "Single payer health care plan - universal health care -- that is what I would like to see." He also says "I happen to be a proponent of a single payer health care plan." He follows up with "but first we gotta take back the White House, we gotta take back the Senate, and we gotta take back the House of Representatives." The language is pretty clear. There's no "taking out of context" stuff here. Listen to the clip and see for yourself. We also played clips from such luminaries as Slobbering Barney Frank making it absolutely clear that single payer - government payer - government control is what we are after here. Remember .. if all payments for health care come from the government ... the single payer ... where are the private health insurance companies? Gone! That's where.

So .. the people don't like what they're hearing, and the White House reacts. They pull out ABC retread Linda Douglass ... now in charge of White House propaganda for health care ... to do a little three-minute video trying to convince us that Barack Obama is not for a single payer plan. He's actually in favor of health insurance reform! You can watch Linda Douglass' White House video here or right below. She plays a couple of clips - recent clips - from Obama where he promises that you can keep your health insurance if you like it. Nowhere does she address Obama's previous dedication to a single payer plan. Nowhere does she mention that once there is any change, no matter how minute, in your private plan you must drop that plan and head to the government plan. This is a lady who has sold her soul to the cause of socialized medicine. Pretty much what you would expect from a network news hack.

This is kind of related to the health care/insurance discussion, right? Think of this next time you're in a public place. You might never leave the house again.

Well, this seems to be as good a time as any to remind you that TODAY on the show we are going to dedicate one complete hour to the FairTax. During that hour I'll cover the following:

• A brief history of taxation, including how politicians used wealth envy to sell the people on the income tax.
• Who developed the FairTax idea, and why
• How the FairTax works, and how it makes payment of federal taxes essentially voluntary.
• How the poor are completely protected from paying any taxes at all to the federal government under the FairTax
• The role the FairTax could be playing today in bring our economy back to health.
• The current status of the FairTax in the Congress.
• Answer questions from listeners and respond to the most common objections.

We'll have this hour for you at 11:00 am Eastern time with an encore at 3pm ET on our flagship station, News/Talk 750 WSB. Figure it out for where you happen to live.

Also, if you missed it, we're going to put the audio for this in next week's newsletter. If you are not yet a subscriber, you can sign up here. 

The Democrats and looters want you to believe that they're just going to set up a "public option," a government health care plan that will "compete" with the private insurance plans and keep them honest.

OK .. let's build a little scenario here. You're in business for yourself. You own a restaurant. You find out the government is going to open a restaurant right next door to you. The government says that they're not trying to run you out of business .. they just want to give you a little competition so that you will improve your product. You find out, though, that while your restaurant will have to operate at a profit to survive, the government restaurant can operate at a loss ... for ever. If the government restaurant needs money all it has to do is go out into the community and seize it. If you tried to do that you would be arrested and charged with robbery. You also learn that the government restaurant is going to be able to set all the rules about how you operate: How you cook and serve your food, what kind of menu you will have, the hours you will be open ... everything. Those same rules will not necessarily apply to the government restaurant.

Yeah .. that's some fair competition, isn't it? Can you tell me how you are possibly going to stay in business? The answer is, you won't. Sooner or later you close your doors, and if your customers want to eat ... they head to the government restaurant.

That's the story of the "public option" health insurance Obama and the looters want. The goal is to run private insurance out of business. That way, by default, the government becomes the single payer. Absolute government control, the dream of every Democrat politician.

Watch what you say around people, folks. The White House may track you down. Does that sound over the top and big brother-like? Well that's because it is. The Democrats seem to getting really frustrated over the fact that Americans aren't down on their knees begging them for healthcare reform. So now, the White House wants to know if you talk to anyone or read anything about healthcare reform that seems "fishy".

From the White House website:

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

I invite ... no, I URGE you to refer the White House to today's Nealz Nuze. In fact, do it every single day.

Another idea. Take the web address for Linda Douglass' little speech and send IT to the White House. You can hardly sound more fishy than that.

So yesterday I Tweeted the question: Think Bill Clinton will get any NK strange while he's there? Well .. he may not have gotten any strange, but he did manage to get Kim Jong Il to issue a "special pardon" for OwlGore's jailed journalists. At first, we were told that Clinton went on a personal trip. We all knew that was horsesqueeze. It turns out that the Obama administration did in fact ask Clinton to go and negotiate with the Gargoyle.

The ransom was paid. What was the ransom? The legitimization of Kim John Ill through a visit by a former U.S. President. Next up? Iran?

We've talked before on Nealz Nuze about the "Rahm Emanuel Factor." This is the notion that you are willing to make a deal on ANYTHING in order to maintain power. Rep. John Conyers (a Democrat from Michigan) says that Barack Obama has changed his position on healthcare because of this "Rahm Emanuel Factor." There is no doubt that according to Conyers, Obama did in fact believe in a single-payer healthcare system. But as we are now told, Obama has since changed his mind. Conyers says, "I'm just guessing now, because we haven't talked about it, but he wants it because of the Rahm Emanuel factor. Okay. I'm glad you asked me. The Rahm Emanuel factor, to quote him, is that, look, we want success, and we're willing to make a deal about anything. Does that make you feel pretty comfortable about health care?"

Conyers also believes that the current healthcare legislation in Washington will not keep costs down nor cover all Americans. Isn't that kind of the point for these Democrats? Oh wait, I forgot. It isn't. The point is to maintain power. Rahm Emanuel has figured that one out real well.

I just love stories of entrepreneurship, so I'll share one with you.

His name is Angelo Hernandez. He lives in Jacksonville, Florida ... near the beach. Every single morning he gets up before the sunrise. He checks the weather .. and if the weather is good he grabs a camera and heads to the beach. Why? He wants to catch a picture of the sunrise. Hernandez will tell you that he used to watch the sunrise from construction jobs up and down Jax Beach ... so he decided to start taking pictures.

OK, so far so good. But I want you to sit there for a second or two and try to figure out just how this can lead to making money. I mean, anyone can take a picture of a sunrise, right?

Well .. I found out when Angelo sent me one of his pictures in a nice frame. This particular sunrise picture was date-stamped June 28, 2009. That is a picture of the sunrise over the Atlantic on the day my granddaughter was born. A new life - a new day - a new sunrise. Now you just tell me that you wouldn't like to have a picture of the sunrise on the day you were born .. or your child or grandchild. Well ... if the particular sunrise you're interested in happened after the Summer of 2004 ... and if the weather was halfway decent ... you're in luck. I'm so pleased to share this website with you because I think the idea is so special. Here's your link. Hope the weather was OK.
