From RZHOM@aol.com Wed Feb 17 22:21:27 2010 Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:21:07 EST From: RZHOM@aol.com To: hal@panix.com Subject: From a Florida ER doctor Dear Hal, Hope your weather is allowing you to get out a bit easier than when we talked last week. It continues to be colder here than we have experienced in the past, but when I look at NJ and WV we're just glad to be here. I just sent you a poem entitled the Crabby Old Man. It has much truth in it and definitely worth your time to see into what goes on inside the head of one in the declining years. I found it very touching. Do you know that Leroy Carson doesn't even know his children and grandchildren these days. So sad! Aside from this, you said I hadn't sent any challeges your way for a while, so here one is. Especially the section at the end where it tells what an immigrant is paid vs. a retiree. I surely hope you can prove this all wrong. By the way I have been listening to Kennedy's "An Unfinished Life" and am finding it very interesting. It leaves no doubt about his frequent womanizing and self serving in many ways, but so far leaves me to wonder if he wouldn't have been a pretty good President had he lived to fulfill his expected time in the White House.................but then we'll never really know I guess. Love You Always, Mom Having spent three weeks in a hospital in Naples, Florida with my wife I couldnâ~@~Yt help noticing what was going on in the hospital and I had a lot of time to talk to the doctors and nurses about what I had observed. Below is a commentary from an ER Doctor. Do you think this might be a big reason our health care system and our social security system are so screwed up? Do you think this might be a big reason our taxes keep going up? Who do you think these people are going to vote for? From a Florida ER doctor: "I live and work in a state overrun with illegals. They make more money having kids than we earn working full-time. Today I had a 25-year old with 8 kids - thatâ~@~Ys right 8; all illegal anchor babies and she had the nicest nails, cell phone, hand bag, clothing, etc. She makes about $1,500 monthly for each; you do the math. I used to say, â~@~\We are the dumbest nation on earth. â~@~] Now I must say and sadly admit: WE are the dumbest people on earth (that includes ME) for we elected the idiot idealogues who have passed the bills that allow this. Sorry, but we need a revolution. Vote them all out in 2010. " ____________________________________ --- REMEMBER --- IN NOVEMBER 2010, WE HAVE A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAN OUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE AND ONE-THIRD OF THE SENATE! ____________________________________ This is an insult and a kick in the butt to all of us... Get mad and pass it on - I don't know how, but maybe some good will come of this travesty. If the immigrant is over 65, they can apply for SSI and Medicaid and get more than a woman on Social Security, who worked from 1944 until 2004. She is only getting $791 per month because she was born in 1924 and there's a 'catch 22.' It is interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890. Each can also obtain an additional $580 in social assistance, for a total of $2,470 a month. This compares to a single pensioner, who after contributing to the growth and development of America for 40 to 50 years, can only receive a monthly maximum of $1,012 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement. Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees! Consider sending this to all your American friends, so we can all be ticked off and maybe get the refugees cut back to $1,012 and the pensioners up to $2,470. Then we can enjoy some of the money we were forced to submit to the Government over the last 40 or 50 or 60 years. And not to receive a increase for 2010 Vote them all out of officeâ~@¦â~@¦. Please forward this to every American to expose what our elected politicians have been doing for the past 11 years to over-taxed Americans. SEND THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN TAXPAYER YOU KNOW.
