Rangling Rangel one more time
September 4th, 2009 . by Robert
Charles Rangel ranks right up there with Tom Delay, Newt Gingrich, Barbara Boxer, and a host of other corrupt congressmen and senators who seem to keep getting elected. Now Mr. Rangel has stooped to a new low in his attempts to frame the health care debate in racial terms and also putting a religious slant on it. Rangel says it’s an attempt to deny health care to blacks and asks “Why can’t we get what God has given us?” Mr. Rangel may be able to convince some of his racially biased supporters but the reality is that most people know big bureaucracies can’t efficiently or effectively administer programs that must consider individual needs. In a collectivized health care system or any system dealing with masses of people, the needs and desires of the individual are sacrificed for the good of the bureaucracy.
