Alright, let's go piece by piece:
OH HOLY MONKEYS IT BEGINS IDIOTICALLY.
I'm sorry, but that was a knee jerk reaction, I didn't give the idiocy of the first 12 seconds enough credit, it's really idiotic.
The video claims that Obama is redistributing the wealth.
Obama is in no way redistributing the wealth by returning tax levels for those making over $250,000 to the levels they were at when Clinton was in
office
Then it claims that he thinks it's a good thing because he learned it in school.
They're outright lying about Obama there, he never said it was a good thing.
Then the reanimated zombie Reagan says:
I learned from real life that it's not good, it's theft.
Putting your words into the mouth of a (somehow) beloved political leader doesn't make them valid
Next it puts up some random bits with money spent under Obama, ignoring the fact that a democratic administration (Clintons) had a budget surplus that
Bush Jr. pissed away.
Then it claims that they didn't take the time to read the bill to pass it into law. Was a year not long enough? The bill was about as long as the
last Harry Potter book, I know 12 year olds that read that in a day without having a group of staffers to help them.
Then it takes the ridiculous misstep by Pelosi in which she flubbed her delivery. She clearly meant that passing the bill would allow you to find out
how much it will benefit you, not what is actually in it.
That's why the soundbite culture in modern media, particularly on Fox News, is so idiotic.
Then it quotes the most ridiculous thing Reagan ever said: Government is not the solution to your problem, government is the problem.
By his statement the ideal for the world is anarchy.
Anyone who actually has read up on political philosophy and political science will tell you that government is the solution to a great many things.
In this case, it is the solution for health care and that has been proven the world over
I'm sorry, I can't continue. The stupidity of this trailer hurts. It's going to be so painful to actually watch it so I can refute it on here
eventually, but I'll be a trooper and do it for the greater good.
Lies and idiocy aren't the best way to make a good point.
