Letter: Obama agenda will drain taxpayer

The Columbian
Published: July 3, 2012, 5:00pm

Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the “Obamacare” bill, President Obama’s socialistic agenda is falling into place.

As his supporters celebrate in the streets, i.e., the Occupiers and everyone else who drains responsible people’s tax dollars for free so-called entitlements, they will probably burn the American flag on July 4 in celebration.

Of course, these people do not have a clue as to what is going on in Europe. And furthermore, it has always been the Democrats who want people to be dependent on the government. The recent executive order on immigration comes to mind. Dependency breeds welfare but gets the Democratic vote.
