Hillary’s Christmas Ad
I watched Hillary Clinton’s Christmas ad yesterday. In the TV ad, she is seen sitting by a Christmas tree with wrapped packages each tagged with her wishes for us all. These items include: Alternative Energy, Universal Pre-K, Bring Home the Troops, Middle Class Tax Breaks, and of course Universal Healthcare.I am struck by several items from this ad as Hillary shows her true colors as she is trying to get the Democrat nomination. All of her “gifts” to us includes redistribution of wealth. How else could one explain Universal Healthcare and Universal Pre-K? Someone has to pay for these “gifts” and she would make sure it came from the “rich” as Democrats define that particular class of Americans. The problem of course is that Democrats define the “rich” as a much larger percentage of Americans than most people realize. Her Robin Hood mentality is counter to all things American.
Next, Hillary’s ad feels a little degrading. She is playing Santa and supposedly giving gifts to us all as if we are little children. Does Hillary really think she is smarter than the rest of us?
It seems clear to me from this ad that Hillary is trying to win by giving out money for votes. Both Democrats and Republicans use this method, and ultimately it is bad for the country. I think it was Ben Franklin that said we are basically doomed as a Republic when we start voting ourselves money. For me, I think that is Hillary’s plan.
Finally, Bill Clinton always scared me a little, but for the most part he was held in check by a Republican congress in the 1990s. Hillary is a different story. I truly believe she is a socialist (she wants to redistribute wealth). This Christmas ad just reinforces my thoughts on her. What are your thoughts about Hillary?

Wow. I haven’t seen this add yet but will now keep an eye out for it. She has an answer for everything doesn’t she. To start, further taxation of the rich won’t occur due to one single fact, alot of the key Democratic supporters are quite wealthy. I don’t think that this will fly with them.
Now onto Pre-K. There are alot of families across our great country that want to manage the start of formal education for their child. I think this will meet with some resistence.
About Universal Healthcare. Do any of you out there have friends or those you know in other countries that much good to say about their healthcare programs? Why do so many come to our soil to get medical attention? It’s obvious. Our healthcare and related standards. I’d like to hear from anyone who has something good to say about healthcare abroad.
Back to Hillary as Santa Claus. It was a nice try on her part but I’m not buying into what she’s trying to sell. Redistribution of wealth will be fought inch by inch by everyone who have even the slightest amount of wealth.
Also, on Universal Healthcare. Last time I looked Hillary had a legal background not a medical one. Let’s leave the ever present questions on our countries healthcare system to those of us in the profession not the government.
Next year should be quite a colorful one!
