Losing Liberty: Discussing Obamacare and
Other Abuses of Political Power
Presented By Luke R. Throop
The facts will show:
Americans did not ask for
Obamacare
Americans cannot afford
Obamacare
Americans do not want
Obamacare
We did not ask for it:
There was bipartisan opposition in congress
39 Democrats and 176 Republicans voted NO
28 States filed legal challenges to Obamacare
162 MILLION (52%) of Americans want to
Repeal this abuse of political power!
We cannot afford it:
We have $16 trillion in national debt
That’s $140,125 of DEBT per Taxpayer
Average household income is $49,445
Do the math … does it work?
We cannot afford it:
51% of Americans pay 0% income tax!
We had to borrow $1.3 trillion in 2011!
We pay $343 billion on interest alone!
That is a monthly interest payment!
$140,172 of debt for each American taxpayer!
$50,981 of debt for every single man, woman, and child in American!
$2,348 of debt for every single man, woman, and child living on the
planet!
How much is $16 trillion?
Breaking their Promises:
Social Security will be bankrupt by 2033
Medicare will be bankrupt by 2024
Disability Insurance bankrupt by 2016
Already spending more than they’ve got!
Voting Matters:
101.5 million Americans currently NOT working (45%)
110.6 million Americans on federal benefits (49%)
121.3 million Americans pay ZERO tax (51%)
131.1 million Americans voted in 2008 (64%)

Workforce Participation rate vs. the unemployment rate
“If the Republican Party cannot win in this environment, it has to get out of politics and find another business,” declared George Will on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos” Sunday.
Will was describing how the 8.1 percent unemployment rate belies the large numbers of Americans who have given up looking for work.“If the work force participation rate today were what it was in June 2009, when the recovery began, we would have an unemployment rate of 11.2 percent,” said Will.
“If you add in the involuntarily unemployed, you’re approaching 19 percent, which is why I should think, from here on in, on the basis of these numbers, the Romney campaign’s slogan should be the title of Paul Krugman’s book, which is ’End This Depression Now,’ because these are depression-level numbers.”
