George Soros, one of the wealthiest men in the world, as well as one of the largest hedge fund owners, is behind Obamacare.
Health Care for America Now (HCAN), endorsed by President Obama as the coalition pushing his health-care (euthanasia) reform, is a project of billionaire British-agent speculator George Soros, his Tides Foundation, and the Saul Alinsky counter-insurgency networks Soros used to ramp up the Obama Presidential candidacy.
Though labor unionists will come into Washington on June 25 to rally and lobby for the Obama “reform,” the HCAN organization sponsoring the D.C. events explicitly opposes the single-payer health-care plan favored by labor and by most Americans.
The group was established in July 2008 as an adjunct to the Soros operations supporting the Obama candidacy. At the outset, HCAN National Campaign Director Richard Kirsch wrote (July 16, 2008, Huffingtonpost) under the headline, “Why Not Single-Payer?” “I want to take a moment and address those of you who have been asking why Health Care for America Now is not focusing on creating a single-payer health insurance system.” Kirsch explains that he used to believe in that sort of thing, but came to realize it would scare people.
Here’s a little more about HCAN from an op-ed by Michelle Malkin:
HCAN has a $40 million budget, with $10 million pitched in by The Atlantic Philanthropies — a Bermuda-based organization fronted by Soros acolyte Gara LaMarche. Also in the money mix: notorious Democratic donors Herb and Marion Sandler, the left-wing moguls who made billions selling subprime mortgages and helped Soros fund his vast network of left-wing activist satellites. By their side is billionaire Peter Lewis of Progressive Insurance, whose “Progressive Future” youth group has dispatched clueless volunteers armed with clip-boards and literature bashing Rush Limbaugh and Fox News to scare up support for Obamacare.
And two more left-wing heavyweights joining the HCAN parade: the corruption-plagued SEIU (which has battled numerous embezzlement scandals among its chapters across the country while crusading for consumer and patients’ rights) and Obama’s old chums at fraud-riddled ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
Oh the tangled web we weave. The tentacles of all the progressive organizations are intertwined as much as the sub-prime market was woven throughout the stock market. These progressive groups with their new super majority finally feel as though they can pass through their agenda.
It doesn’t cease to amaze me how connected all of these groups are. This begs the question – who is the head of the snake? Is it George Soros? There was a lot of speculation and perhaps a lot of fact, of his attempting to bring down the United Kingdom. Many of these radical left wing groups are funded and run by the same individuals. I hope that somebody can someday figure out the exact tree/web/links in the chain, and make a movie out of it. It could be called The Twilight Zone – never mind that movie already exists… but perhaps something similar!
George Soros is also involved in another scheme that has not received much attention at all. He has received over $300K of taxpayer dollars to open a restaurant in a very run-down, poor area of New York where, on average, people only make about $30K per year and pay their taxes like law-abiding citizens. Mind you, this man made millions, if not billions, last year during the collapse so please keep that in mind as you read about his ties to progressive groups, his encouragement for government run health care and cap & trade, etc.
George Soros is opening up another Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in the old rust belt of up-state New York; Troy. His company, Soros Strategic Partners, owns over 70% of the famous rib joint among other things like moveon.org, factcheck.org, hedge funds, not to mention he is also the single largest contributor to the DNC.
When Soros found the right building to create an additional franchise, the building came with a gift of approximately $218K of back taxes. Normally, the back taxes on a building would be tacked on to the purchase price of the property but, because it’s Soros and as we’ve seen with ACORN and his other groups, he can just bully his way into welfare for the rich and additional perks that men like him could afford on their own.
Further, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is getting a five-year deferment on the property tax that improvements on its property would have otherwise obligated it to. That five-year lag will continue for 20 years.
Meaning that Dinosaur Bar-B-Que will spend the next two decades paying less than its fair share of property taxes – while the locally owned businesses against which it competes will have to pay their full obligation.
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is also being given exemption from $60,000 in sales tax for materials used to improve its building, and the $53,000 fee for recording its mortgage is being waived.
These are just further examples of progressive policies and individuals becoming cancers on our society.

This is the person who will be representing Minnesota. Great job Minnesotans we can really take your state seriously!


He’ll fit right in with the rest of the circus; elephants, asses, weenies, trapeze artists & clowns…
And in case you were wondering – he hasn’t paid taxes either:
Last April, the California Tax Franchise Board revealed that Franken owed the state $5,800 in taxes, fines, and penalties because he did not file returns in 2003 through 2007. Franken then admitted that he owed more than $50,000 in back taxes to 17 states.
Franken blamed everything on his accountant of 18 years, saying he failed to report the income from the comedian’s celebrity appearances and speeches in those states where he made money outside of Minnesota and New York, where he lives. Franken claimed he overpaid taxes in those two states and will file for refunds.
But the accountant, Allen Chanzis, has not verified Franken’s account. In fact, he has said he was told not to talk to the press. Nor has Franken released any documentation to show that he overpaid taxes in two states.

Well, surprise, surprise/sarc… 6 out of the 8 members of the GOP turncoats came from the only states which are likely to see benefits from Cap and Trade (CA, WA, NY, NJ). I’m not surprised about Mark Kirk due to the contributions he received from Exelon Corp. (34.1K), who came out in support of cap and trade legislation and who have been a part of the Chicago political machine themselves. Heck, Exelon was even a bailout candidate!
Mike Castle is a little more head scratching. Delaware does not appear to make money off of this bill, granted they lose far less than other states. The only correlation that I can see is similar to Mike Kirk’s. There is possibly a Delaware business/entity which has ties with Joe Biden and will fare well due to this massive tax hike. The other explanation is where Mike Castle sits on the financial services committee and Wall Street (many of his donors) will make tons from this legislation.
Interesting to note, as well, is that red states will suffer the most. Pay back time? If red states lose money and constituents have nothing in their pockets there is a chance that our drug dealing government can swoop in and tempt you with their entitlement dope and try to get you hooked… More and more is starting to look less like a conspiracy.

Nancy Pelosi is set to make millions of dollars if cap and tax is passed on Friday. She currently has an estimated $15K-50K worth of shares invested in Clean Energy Fuels Corporation (CLNE). This company is of course heavily vested in alternative energy sources and given the fact that any legislation that passes effecting the energy sector will undoubtedly up the price of any public company currently trading in that sector on the stock market.
T. Boone Pickens is also a big investor of CLNE and he has been lobbying for clean energy for a number of years. He is set to make millions, if not billions from cap and tax. T. Boone was not very happy when he found out about Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin’s deal with Exxon Mobile, Trans-Canada and AGIA. Natural gas and oil supplies, if we were able to manufacture them in our own backyard would put big “Green” moguls out of business. Natural gas is also a compound that CLNE is vested in and given the fact that supply would be limited and demand high, prices would sky-rocket - now, if Palin’s gas-line comes to fruition, volume and supply of natural gas will increase for everyone and therefore the price will go down…
Shares of CLNE have gone up and down in value in recent years, thanks to the fluctuations in the price of natural gas and changes in the oil industry worldwide. And a Pelosi spokesman told The Washington Examiner last year that her husband takes care of their stock portfolio, so she has no knowledge of how any of her family investments will be affected by any particular piece of legislation before Congress.
Another prominent public figure with an interest in OWM is CLNE’s major domo, T. Boone Pickens, best known of late as a wind-energy investor and the man behind the largest-ever single donation to a state university, $165 million to Oklahoma State University for its athletic programs three years ago. CLNE is a cog in Pickens massive plan to create a giant wind farm in West Texas to generate electricity.
Pelosi will profit because OWM will boost the price of natural gas on the market. This is because natural gas burns with significantly less carbon emissions than other fossil fuels. For companies trying to get under OWM limits for greenhouse gases emissions, burning more natural gas instead of, say coal, will be a no-brainer. That will drive up demand for natural gas, which in turn will create upward price pressures.
So my next question for Pelosi, Gore, Pickens, GE, and all other entities that have banked on “Green” legislation; will money be made off of taxing cow farts?
Yes, folks, there was an idea floating around out there to tax methane and cow farts. All living beings happen to pass gas, so I would assume that they would first come for the cows, and then for us… There are those that are getting into the business of breeding cows that pass less flatulence, believe it or not. Would green cows make green burgers and would green burgers make my flatulence green? Yeah, didn’t think so…
The government is becoming Godzilla, toppling tall buildings and destroying everything it touches. I guess you could consider the government much like the opposite of Midas… everything it touches turns to…
Reagan was right when you said: ”If it moves tax it, if it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving subsidize it.”

Just when you thought cronyism couldn’t stoop any lower, Congress sticks a clause into the health-care bill that will allow unions and their members to remain tax exempt from the proposed public Obamacare legislation. And who would have thunk it? Unions are majority Democrat…
To add insult to injury Congress, with their lovely perks, and inside the beltway lifestyle, would obviously keep their benefits and would not be required to participate in the plan. If Congress, the very people who are proposing this rubbish, are unwilling to use it themselves, that should set off alarms for every American.
Union workers enjoy some of the most extensive and costliest health benefits, and union officials complained their members would be unfairly burdened by a health care tax because their contracts cannot be changed quickly enough to avoid it.
Union members also represent one of the biggest and most powerful Democratic constituencies and their support of any health care reform proposal is viewed as essential to getting a bill passed in Congress.
Baucus has proposed the tax threshold on health care benefits be set higher than the cost of policies available to federal employees and he has proposed exempting until 2013 those plans negotiated as part of union contracts.
Isn’t there some type of law that states all men and women are created equal? Doesn’t singling out one or two groups go against that entirely?
If Obamacare is passed, this will be used as a backdoor method for Card Check because more will be enticed to join unions, where they still have a choice of their own health-care - ”mark my words!”
Oh, and next time I hear somebody bring up crony capitalism, I’ll be sure to wave several examples of “crony Capitol Hillism” in their face to make my point that corruption and greed go hand in hand and it’s no different whether you are in DC or NYC.
