"A nation can survive its fools, . . ."

Thirty Seven Members of the Senate sitting under OUR State Capitol Dome in Lansing voted in support of Senate Bill 321. What never heard of this very popular Senate Bill? This legislation appears to be ever so popular for all attending Senators (Read page 705 in the Senate Journal) voted in unanimous support of this legislation.   One would think that all would be very interested to learn Senate Bill 321 is written to statutorily empower Private Parties to trespass upon your PRIVATE LANDS.

Odd thing here is that there is no provision in the Michigan or Federal Constitution that empowers a Legislative Body to grant statutory authority for private parties to knowingly trespass upon one’s Private Property.

What is strange about this Senate Bill as presented by Rick Jones is that it allows PRIVATE PROCESS servers who work for a PRIVATE Attorney the ability to statutorily trespass upon YOUR private land.

What you say, a Private Person engaged by a Private Attorney may trespass upon one’s private land because Rick Jones along with thirty six fellow State Senators says so? That surely is an odd piece of legislation, for there is no provision written within the State or Federal Constitution that tolerates a Legislative body to grant statutory immunity to private parities to trespass upon OUR private lands here in the lands of the Wolverine.

It is quite apparent that the thirty seven Michigan State Senators who voted to pass this statutory fraud over to the House fail to comprehend Constitutional Limitations.

It is clearly written in the State and Federal Constitution that no one may trespass upon OUR God Given Substantive Rights, unless they carry a warrant issued in compliance to Constitutional limitations.

Well, apparently neither Rick Jones nor his thirty six fellow Senators understand, or as shown by their actions recognize the Constitutional limitation known as a WARRANT.

Neither Civil Process, nor a Summons may be statutorily equated to sit as a constitutionally issued Warrant.   Yet here under our State Capitol Dome in Lansing, the thirty seven Senators sitting in the 97^th Legislature did statutorily equate civil process to rise above Constitutional Limitations, known as a WARRANT!

What next, will the State Senate Sitting in Lansing enact statutory language granting private parties the use of your Swimming Pool in the Hot Weather?   Then put forward an amendment that the private home owner shall provide a grill for the trespassers to use when they pillage steaks from YOUR Freezer whilst lounging around your private pool under the color of improperly enacted statutory privileges!

Think that will not happen?  Well, who would have thought that Thirty Seven Michigan State Senators would enact Senate Bill 321 granting private parties the statutory standing to violate Constitutional Limitations known as a WARRANT!

The "King's Deer" is How the Progressive subvert Rights to Property

"Robin the Hood" challenged the overreach of the King's Ministers, by "robbing the rich" and "giving to the poor".  The reality was more to the point, Robin the Hood was orchestrating a revolt against tyrannical domestic governance.

In the closing days of the 12th Century the English Monarchy was out to Nationalize all rights to property, including the Deer that roamed freely upon private  land under the guise it was the "King's Deer".  The Land Owners revolted and suggested upon the point of their Arrows that the "Evil Prince John" append his proper appellation to the Magna Carta, known as the "Great Charter" on June 12, 1215.

The Magna Carta is the fundamental law that was incorporated by the Founding Fathers of the American Republic when they wrote the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union which was amend by a document known as the Constitution of the United States FOR the United States of America.

Unfortunately this rich history of Rights to Property is not part of the educational curriculum here in the lands of the Wolverine.  The results of this lack of historical and constitutional knowledge have enabled the Progressive political class to slowly contravene our God Given Unalienable Rights under the color of Statutory Enactments here in Michigan.

One of the first Progressive political usurpations of Constitutional Limitations imposed under the color of statutory Law was the subordination of rights to Property by invoking the historical premise known as  the “King’s Deer”. 

This “King’s Deer” idiom is the Progressive tool statutorily implemented in contravention to Constitutional Limitations to usurp OUR rights to property.

 

The statutory imposition of the “King’s Deer” better known as “nationalization” of feral  
animals wondering about OUR private property was initiated by the Progressives in the latter days of the 19^th Century here in Michigan.

The Progressive dominated Legislature sitting in Lansing enacted “Licensure” for hunting here in Michigan in response to the “Gloved Hunters” who protested the commercial harvesting of Deer in the closing two decades of the 19^th Century.

The State Legislature statutorily imposed “Hunting Licensure” to Control Rights to Property here in the lands of Wolverine under the Progressive legal fiction of “Conservation”.

The result is that the Progressive dominated Legislature sitting under OUR State Capitol Dome in Lansing has co-opted OUR rights to property under the guise of "Hunting Licensure".  

Then OUR Elected Officers sitting under OUR Capitol Dome in Lansing use this "licensure process" to plunder our private wealth by exacting exorbitant taxes imposed as "Fees" to harvest Deer out of OUR woods sitting within the Four Corner of OUR PRIVATE LANDS!

Balanced Spending Spree . . .

"It is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power.  Our Constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which, and no further, our confidence may go."

--Thomas Jefferson: Draft, Kentucky Resolutions, 1798.

A Balanced Budget Amendment institutionalizes legislative plunder by providing the electorate a "False Confidence" in the fiscal enactments moved by the elected officer sitting under OUR State and Federal Capitol Domes.

 

Article V § 18 incorporated in the Michigan Constitution of 1963 enables the Legislature to RAISE not only taxes, but the Debt of the State inclusive of the local municipal authorities to “balance budgetary expenditures”.

A Balanced Budget Amendment is a tool of false “confidence” that empowers the Progressive Ideology of taxation in order to “fund balanced spending”.   The political fraud of the Balanced Budget Amendment is plain for those who comprehend the nature of the Convention of the States that sat in Philadelphia in 1787.

The Definition of the “Balanced Budget Amended” is a Progressive feint that authenticates “Balanced Spending”.  The Article V § 18 of the Michigan Constitution DOES NOT LIMIT the Size of government. In fact quite the opposite, as evidenced by the size of the Taxpayer funded State Government labor pool which has grown exponentially since 1964.

We Michiganders pay out of our pocket 100 percent of the support for a governmental bureaucracy that engages over 823 thousand public sector unionized employees from Lansing to the local municipal authorities within our County, Cities, Villages, and Townships.

 

We here in Michigan support nearly 2,000,000 who line up as clients for the Family Independence Agency.  If that is not enough, the 97^th Legislature enacted Obamacare, known as Medicaid Expansion that will put another 500,000 and growing Michiganders upon the Taxpayer funded Government Dole if we do not stand up to stop this Progressive Madness labeled about as the “Balanced Budget”.

So we the Michigan Working Taxpayers support nearly three millions who live off OUR private wealth. The Progressives in the Federal and State Legislative bodies intend to pursue their objective with the Affordable Care Act, euphemistically known as “Obamacare”, which will dramatically increase the numbers of taxpayer subsidized clients of the State Government here in Michigan by a million or more over the next four years.

How do the Progressive tax and spenders fund the ever growing presence of our State Government here in Michigan?

Simple, Progressives sitting under OUR State Capitol Dome in Lansing increase taxation alongside increasing debt obligations issued by the State, and it’s locally authorized municipal authorities, in the form of Bonds which are underwritten upon OUR private property rights here in the lands of the Wolverine. 

This Progressive political sleight of hand, increased taxation, and debt, is authenticated under the false premise of Article V § 18.

The Perfect example of the Balanced Budget economics of the Progressive is found in Motown, which now sits in a Chapter 9 Municipal Bankruptcy courtesy of the "Balanced Budget" oversight from Lansing, inclusive of the political deceit sitting as the Detroit City Council.

Under the Balanced Budget Amendment which took force during the 1964 fiscal year, Taxes increased, as did the spending of OUR Private Wealth from 3.59 billion spendable tax dollars, to the current State level of 50 billion and growing.  Add another 40 billion for the county, City, Villages, and Townships; one discovers that Michigan Taxpayers are funding a 92 billion dollar annual balanced spending spree here in 2013 Fiscal Budget enacted by the 97th Legislature.

Michigan’s Balanced Budget amendment allows the Progressive political class to clamor for more taxation to balance their governmental "spending spree”.

The Fiscal Funding “crisis” of the 94^th and 95^th Legislature should have warned all of the political chicanery of the “Balanced Budget Amendment” here Michigan.  During those two legislative sessions, the Michigan Political class DID NOT ROLL BACK the size of government.  Quite the opposite by riding under Article V § 18 the Progressives successfully increased their annual Spending Spree with tears of joy flowing within their eyes, and OUR private wealth sliding off their deceitful political hands.

State spending now exceeds 92.1 billion dollars of OUR private wealth confiscated in compliance to Article V § 18 to “balance  the budget”.  Outstanding Government Debt in Michigan has grown EVERY YEAR for the past 50 years.

Senator Mike Green's Testimony in the Government Operations Committee on October 15th, 2013 championing the Federal Balanced Budget Amendment substantiates his Progressive ideology of refusing to make the hard decision to roll back State Government Largess.  It is far easier to wave the fictitious hands of the Balanced Budget Amendment when Mike Green fails to comprehend the fiscal reality of the false promise enacted as Article V § 18 here in Michigan.

The  exponential growth in Taxation and Spending has been politically justified by the Michigan State Legislature by waiving the legal fiction incorporated as Article V § 18 in the Michigan State Constitution in 1963.

This has enabled the Legislature to increase the Debt of Michigan all under the premise of enabling the Balanced Budget, which in reality is the Progressive goal better defined as the "Balanced Spending Spree".

Those proposing the “Balanced Budget Amendment” for the Federal Constitution under an Article V call to a Convention of the States should reconsider their stance by learning the history of the American Republic and Michigan.

Legislative Plunder Progressive Style, Medicaid Expasion

Here in the lands of the Wolverine, Speaker of the State House of Representatives Jase Bolger, and Chairman of the Michigan Health Competitiveness Committee Mike Shirkey are supporting the redistribution of three billion dollars of OUR private wealth to fund their favored 501(c) (3) and State owned Health Care Services Providers under the guise of “Healthy Michigan”. 

“Healthy Michigan” is Progressive double speak for enlarging the size of State government to support Obama Care’s Medicaid Expansion.

Jase Bolger and Mike Shirkey claim to be Republicans, yet we recognize them for what they truly shall be Progressive Republicans, best defined as Republican in Name Only.

One of the many health care service entitles that will become a beneficiary of OUR redistributed Private wealth if Medicaid Expansion is imposed here in the lands of the Wolverine, will be Allegiance Health systems sitting in Jackson where Mike Shirkey was the former Board Chairman. 

Allegiance Health corrals over 401 million dollars a year in gross receipts annually, which bodes the questions why are Mike, and Jase along with their 27 fellow Republican in Name Only cronies working so hard to force “Medicaid Expansion” , House Bill 4174 on Michigan Taxpayers?  Medicaid Expansion is a statutory necessity in order for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, OBAMA-CARE to stand here in the American Republic.

One of the three billion dollar reasons why the Progressive here in Michigan are working so hard to impose this Socialistic Program is simple.  Under this statutory program, known as Medicaid Expansion, upwards of three billion dollars of OUR private wealth exacted from Michiganders would be directly ladled out to these Privately operated 501(c)(3) and State owned Health Care Service providers extracted from OUR Pockets under the misnomer of “Healthy Michigan”?

More and more it is becoming very apparent that “Healthy Michigan” is about supporting the “Fiscal Health” of health care systems, not to see patients, but to redistribute our private wealth to the chosen few.  To paraphrase the words from George Orwell’s Animal Farm, here in the lands of the Wolverine, Some Health Care Service providers are more equal than others.

How is three billion dollars of our private wealth ladled out here in Michigan?  Well, there are currently 1.8 million Michiganders sitting under the State Insurance taxpayer funded program known as the Department of Community Health.

The Department of Community Health outsources it’s funding, minus its working capital, to contracted health care service providers through Medicaid Health Maintenance Organizations.  Medicaid Health Maintenance Organizations contract health care service providers to receive billions a year in Michigan not to see their taxpayer insured “patients”.

Now Mike Shirkey, and Jase Bolger want to increase the outlay by billions more, not to provide health care, but to directly redistribute billions of OUR private wealth exacted from Michiganders to directly fund health cares service provider NOT TO SEE more taxpayer funded “patients”.

This is why Mike Shirkey is using his position in the public trust, and currently as a “humble board member” of Allegiance Health, to maneuver  House Bill 4714 through OUR State Senate in Lansing.

Mike Shirkey and his fellow legislative supporters in OUR State House of Representatives in Lansing, are intent on funding one big ongoing payola before they leave public office to be ladled out ad infinitum to their favorite charities like Allegiance Health, and the other such 501(c)(3) and State government managed health cares services operations throughout Michigan.

During the Ancien Régime in France, this Progressive public policy of tax and take, was known for what it is, “Legislative Plunder”.

  

We have one choice, and that is to stop this political plundering of our Private Wealth by directly engaging OUR State Senators sitting under OUR State Capitol Dome in Lansing.

We need to stand up to inform OUR Elected Officials sitting in OUR State Senate to shut this nonsensical legislative plundering known here as House Bill 4714 down permanently by VOTING NO on Medicaid Expansion.

The Health Care Monopolies are Terminal care . . .

The solution to Health Care services is to take government completely out of the equation.  

Here in the lands of the Wolverine we need to repeal the “Certificate of Need” Part 222 of Public Act 368 of 1978, This “Certificate of Need” is Progressive double speak to empower local health care services monopolies.

Monopolies corrupt the market place, for the monopolist has no need to be concerned about either service, or price.  All the service provider needs to carry is the limited liability insurance to cover the expected errors and omissions that arise in a service arena that is not reliant upon a competitive business model.

Mike Shirkey the sitting Chair of the Michigan Competitiveness Committee is very aware that Allegiance Health’s monopolist marketplace is predicated in part on the Certificate of Need”.  So when Mike, sitting as the Chair, rammed HB 4714 first through the Committee, and then as the assistant majority floor leader in the Committee of Whole, he knew well as a sitting Board Member and past Board Chairman for “Allegiance Health” care systems, said entity would profit in a statutorily closed marketed place, defined as a “Monopoly” with the expansion of Medicaid.

Allegiance Health had 401 million dollars of gross receipts in 2011 that was annotated on its’ Internal Revenue Service Form 990 filed by this 501c (3) “non profit institution” and managed to paper document a two million dollar loss!

This expansion of Medicaid does not provide access to health care.  Expansion of Medicaid does provide the Department of Community Health the administrative ability to expand Medicaid Health Maintenance Organizations client pool that is currently under contractual hands of a select few Medical Care Service Providers and their labor pool of state regulated professional personnel.

Health Maintenance Organizations pay practitioners not to see patients, which first limits the market place for why expand services, when one is paid not to!  Then you may consider reading through the following, with the factual knowledge, that nearly 57 million Americans of all ages fall within this statutory contractually implemented Health Care Service system that is best defined as Nationalized Health Care.  Title 42 CFR Chapter IV, Subchapter B - MEDICARE PROGRAM

The end result is a specific market place regulated by the will and whim of OUR Legislative Body sitting in Lansing, that encourages by design overpriced services paid by third parties, wherein the primary party, the customer is encouraged to roll into the emergency room for a misquote bite.

Then the Monopolists, the Lobbyists, and the Progressives who sit under OUR State “Capitol Dome” in Lansing shout loudly for more regulatory expansion subsidized by our Private Wealth for the emergency rooms are overwhelmed.

The Health Care Monopoly, Medicaid

There are many reasons why the cost of health care has escalated here in Michigan, and throughout our Great Republic.

The two most dramatic elements that have turned private health care upside down, is  the Unionization of the State Administered and Private Health Care Facilities Work Force, coupled in parallel with the Nationalization of Health Care Services for a specified group of statutory beneficiaries under the Great Societies’ legislation known as Medicare.

The two most dramatic elements that have turned private health care upside down, is  the Unionization of the State Administered and Private Health Care Facilities Work Force, coupled in parallel with the Nationalization of Health Care Services for a specified group of statutory beneficiaries under the Great Societies’ legislation known as Medicare.

The advent of Medicare, and its State implemented authority known as Medicaid put Government Bureaucrats between the Patient and the Health Care Professionals.

The first overt act was Government Bureaucrats would DICTATE the remuneration for services provided patients that fall within their administrative oversight under the Medicaid program in the State, and Medicare at the Federal level.

The State Medicaid Program runs under the direct administrative oversight of the Federal Department of Health and Human Services.  This is the result of an ill informed State Legislative Assembly enacting commingling legislation that statutorily redistributes OUR Private Wealth to a specific segment of the State’s Citizenry by administrative decree.

Then there is the little known payola known as Medicare Health Maintenance Organizations.  The Federal regulated Medicare Health Maintenance Organization and Private subscription Health Maintenance Organizations pays a set fee to the Medical Servicer facilities, and Practitioners that participate in this payola scheme.  The Health Care Service Providers are PAID a flat fee not for seeing patients, but for first being paid a “retainer” to be a “contractual provider” of POTENTIAL health care services.

Have you ever wondered why Medical Practitioners schedule time out over weeks, in lieu of immediate visits?  Well, when you are paid by the Federal Regulated Health Maintenance Organization NOT SEE TO PATIENTS why bother with new patients in the private sector?  Read through Title 42 Chapter IV  Subchapter B Part 417 Subpart A Section 417.1

Then you may consider reading through the following, with the factual knowledge, that nearly 52 million Americans of all ages fall within this statutory contractually implemented Health Care Service system that is best defined as Nationalized Health Care.  Title 42 CFR Chapter IV, Subchapter B - MEDICARE PROGRAM

The problem with escalating health care cost, is not originating in the Private sector.  It is the reaction of a once Private free enterprise system being cannibalized under the false promises of Taxpayer Funded Administrative Bureaucracies whose concern is their Agency Funding, and the next taxpayer funded seminar in Las Vegas.

In 1945, the Federal Legislature moving under the color of regulating “Interstate Commerce” enacted the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945 currently codified in Title 15 U.S.C.A. Chapter 20.

This Federal enactment moving under the Court Dicta of Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942),  empowered the States to statutorily limit the Number of Insurance Companies that would be permitted do to business within the exterior boundaries of the State.

This statutory limitation artificially increases the Cost of Health Care Insurance to Consumers, for WE are compelled by State Law to purchase from a LIMITED POOL of providers operating a statutory monopoly gratis of OUR Elected State Legislative Membership.  This Federal Enactment followed by local law enacted by the State Legislature in essence was the first covertly operated “Health Care Exchange”.  Read through the State Campaign Financial Reports filed by the Michigan State Legislative membership and note who receives funds from Licensed Insurance Health Care Providers.

The Health Care Exchange as proposed here in the Lands of the Wolverine is another Bureaucratic laden regulatory falsity being promoted as a solution to a governmental designed failure.

In lieu of lifting the statutory restriction on Insurance Carriers in Michigan the Legislative Leadership sitting under OUR Capitol Dome in Lansing, would rather pander to a closed market, under the Progressive Euphemism statutorily defined as the “Health Care Exchange”.

This so called Health Care Exchange is by definition a statutory application to limit by statute, the market makers for Health Care Insurance to legislatively favored providers, which will by application result in HIGHER PREMIUM COSTS and reduced access to patient services! 

This statutory scheme is best described as Funding for Failure.  Why funding for Failure?  Well, we have ill informed legislative members who have no historical understanding how their predecessors created this problem by statutory enactment whilst sitting under our State Capitol Dome in Lansing.

Go ask State Legislative members why they tolerate the statutory limitation that favors the Monopolistic marketing by  Health Care Insurance providers here in Michigan?  One would think State legislative members were cognizant to the Constitutional Rule of Law which limits the reach of State and Federal Governance.  Unfortunately far too many members in Michigan’s 96^th Legislature believe that THEY HAVE the statutory right to limit the market place by creating the legal fiction statutorily defined as the Health Care Exchange.

What Next, how about a Food Store Exchange, wherein the Legislature will pick the Food Chains that will be allowed to operate here in Michigan?

Michigan State Citizens along with millions of other American State Citizens do not comprehend that the State Legislatures created this health care cost escalation that leads directly to the degradation of Medical Services access by limiting Health Care Insurance Providers with Statutory fiat.

This is known as Monopolistic Capitalism, which is taught in academia from Grade School to the University as the “Evil Capitalist” System.

The system of Monopolistic Capitalism is empowered by statutory decree enacted by the State Legislature, which is known as Fascism.  This monopolistic system of limiting the access to the market place by statutory decrees by an operation of law, the political ideology defined as National Socialism.

When the Nine Authorized Health Insurance Providers here in Michigan are the only Health Care Underwriters in Town, they control the market place, and arbitrarily decree the remuneration paid for services inclusive of the type of medical services coverage offered.

The proposed Health Care Exchange will limit this number to less than the current nine, with the proviso that said “competitors” may be statutorily assured of a predetermined profit margin, which by application will lead directly to spiraling increases in health Care Insurance Premiums, and limitations to Health Care services provided to Patients classified as to Age, and Aliment.  This is known as the “Death Panel” scenario, which starts with the implementation of the “Health Care Exchange”.

The Political manipulation of the term “Pre existing conditions” is the result of NO COMPETITION in the Heath Care Insurance market place.  If the market place was open to all comers, rest assured there would a Health Insurance Service provider known as PRE EXIST Health Insurance.

The Constitutional solution to his health care morass is simple.  The repeal of all statutory restrictions on the market place, which will then enable a FREE UNFETTERED MARKET, historically recognized in the business model as Laissez-faire, where Health Care Services cost, and along with the cost of Health Insurance products offered will plummet as the market expands.

Tyranny of Statism Exposed

Over in the Michigan Competitiveness Committee of the House the “Gang of Four” allied with the minority caucus to force House Bill 4714 to the Committee of the Whole.  The “Gang of Four” were elected as Republicans, yet sit on the Floor of the House as opportunistic Progressives.

The “Gang of Four”, Chairman Mike Shirkey, Vice-Chairman Ken Yonker, Frank Foster, and Dave Pagel, sitting on the House Competitiveness Committee, have shown they lack Constitutional comprehension and lack principles of leadership.

These Four House Members do not stand on the Principles of Limited Government, and have shown that fact by betraying the voters in their House District that enabled them to sit in an Office of the Public Trust as Republicans.  A Public Trust they use not for the Principles of Limited Government, but quite apparently to advance the Statist Agenda.

This action of the “Gang of Four” then allowed 24 fellow Travelers all hiding their progressive agenda under their Republican Hats, to force House Bill 4714 through the Committee of the Whole by aligning with the Minority Caucus.  This was three less “Republicans” than those who supported the previous governmental expansion legislation House Bill 4111

WE now know the sitting House Republican majority Caucus has a subset Progressive majority claiming to be House Republicans, who knowingly march lockstep on behalf of Barack Hussein Obama's agenda of Statism here in the lands of the Wolverine.

When the Chair of the Michigan Competitiveness Committee was questioned on his devious political maneuvering on HB 4714, he boldly proclaimed he does not take Marching order from the “Tea Party”.  What was left unsaid by the Chairman was that he does take marching orders behind closed doors from the Majority Caucus’s Progressive majority.

These State House Republicans showed their Progressive colors when they supported first HB 4111, and subsequently the passage of HB 4714 in the Committee of the Whole.

Now we are confronted with the Progressive led support of Roger Kahn who supports, along with his known fellow travelers in the Majority Caucus of OUR State Senate the largest governmental expansion of bureaucratic reach in the History of Michigan, Obamacare under the misnomer of “Medicaid Expansion”.

Roger Kahn, who secured his seat by claiming to be a “Republican”, will not stand for reelection due to term limits, so he suffers not politically for his Progressive ideology for expanding Government no matter what the cost is to Michiganders who ultimately will foot the bill if this Medicaid Expansion reaches the desk of our Governor.

So, Roger has no political concerns for exposing his Progressive ideology, yet as a Medical Doctor, his professional  history is invested in the greater Saginaw Covenant Health System.  His personal political push for Medicaid Expansion substantiates his credential, not as a Republican standing for Limited Government, but as the Progressive knowingly moving the Statist Agenda whilst sitting in the Majority Caucus under OUR Capitol Dome in Lansing.

It is time we remind all elected members of OUR State House in Lansing, who won their seat on the Republican Ticket, that they stand on the principles of Limited Government, or we will work hard to see that they sit upon the curbs of political history come the next primary election cycle in 2014.
