RUSH: The next big push is not going to be jobs, the next big push is going to be amnesty, and it\u2019s coming sooner than you think. Obama can\u2019t wait for this. He\u2019s going to need these people as voters in 2012. He understands and all liberals understand that it is the middle class that holds the key to their power. The middle class cannot be given real tax cuts to help them move up the ladder. Folks, you\u2019re going to have to believe me and trust me on this. They want to control. They do not wish to govern. They want to control. The reason that there will never be significant middle-class tax cuts, the reason why in fact everybody\u2019s taxes are going up, because this health care bill, is that the left, from Obama on down, will not allow the middle class to move up the ladder. The middle class must be the class receiving the government handouts. <\/p>\n

The objective? The change that Obama was talking about was ensuring that as many Americans as possible end up in the welfare state. The greatest majority of Americans happen to be in the middle class. This health care bill is the first giant step toward making the entire United States middle class dependent on the federal government for its needs, not its luxuries, not its wants. The middle class must receive a government handout. The middle class will not receive tax cuts. The purpose, in fact, of the income tax is to prevent people from earning and acquiring major wealth. Obama has just seen to it that tax cuts are not in the vernacular. Obama once made a phony promise: 95% of Americans getting a tax cut. Not true. It is not going to happen. There\u2019s no way it can if you read the legislation. Everybody is paying higher everything in this, from insurance premiums to medical costs, to taxes. If you think that the underemployment problem is going to go away, understand that there is now a new Medicare tax of 3.8 or 3.9% on investment income. Capital gains are going to go up to 20% I think, maybe higher. The total taxation on investment income, which is called unearned income, will now approach 25%. <\/p>\n

The people who invest are also the people who hire. They\u2019re not going to have the money to hire and to grow their business. The only sector in this country that\u2019s growing right now is government: Government institutions, government bureaucracies, and government employment. So the underemployment problem, that laser-like focus on jobs, maybe for illegals, but not even them. Get \u2019em in here, give them amnesty and then put them on the public dole as well. This is about literally tearing down the golden goose that has led to the greatest opportunity for prosperity for the most human beings in human history. It\u2019s about tearing it down and destroying it. Some people don\u2019t believe it, don\u2019t want to believe it. It\u2019s hard to get your arms around that. Why would anybody, especially a president, want to do that? You have to understand, and folks, there is not a better time, there\u2019s not a more teachable moment than what just happened to get you to stand up and squarely face exactly who we\u2019re dealing with. <\/p>\n

Do you think people who loved America, who loved its traditions, who loved its people, and wanted its people to prosper and do better would ever pass legislation like this party has done, the Democrat Party? No way. It\u2019s a crying shame. It is a literal crying shame, but at the same time it\u2019s the most visible, teachable moment we\u2019ve had. But you\u2019re going to have to understand exactly who they are and understand that this is being done on purpose. These are not well-intentioned mistakes. These are not people who don\u2019t get it. They most assuredly get it. It is many of us — myself excluded \u2019cause I\u2019m the expert — it is many of us who don\u2019t get what we face. And it\u2019s time to face it. It\u2019s time to learn it. Time to not love it, time to live it and understand that anybody running for political office with a D after their name cannot win, must not win. It is the only way that we can save the country. Before we start talking repeal, before we start talking this, we have to defeat them. I don\u2019t care if they call themselves Blue Dogs, lapdogs, moderate Democrats, there\u2019s no such thing anymore. Even if there are moderate Democrats we see how they get steamrolled. <\/p>\n

I was watching this dog-and-pony show on Saturday. I invested the whole weekend doing something I never do, and that\u2019s watch political sausage being made. And I was pretty buoyant on Saturday. I said, ‘They don\u2019t have the votes here.\u2019 I\u2019m saying to myself, why does Obama — because, remember, now, let\u2019s go to the chain of events. On Saturday, we get the announcement from Steny Hoyer right before Obama\u2019s scheduled to speak in that auditorium in the visitors center, ‘Oh, yeah, we\u2019ve got the votes now, we easily have the votes.\u2019 Stupak still had not made any deal. ‘We\u2019ve got the votes. What\u2019s going to happen is we\u2019re going to drop deem-and-pass,\u2019 because there was a revolt in there on that, there was a revolt in the rules committee on deem-and-pass, so they dropped deem-and-pass and then they said, ‘Okay, we\u2019re going to go straight for the Senate bill and then we\u2019re going to do our reconciliations bill.\u2019 Now, wait a second here. Just going to do the Senate bill as is? <\/p>\n

They had no choice, they couldn\u2019t amend it. In fact, they violated the process here anyway. To do the Senate bill without a conference committee is already a violation of the legislative process. But here\u2019s Hoyer and Clyburn announcing that they got the votes and all the leadership\u2019s up there sitting in front of two American flags, and each one of the leadership starts praising each other, the greatest Speaker in the history of the House, Nancy Pelosi. And here we have the greatest majority leader in the history of the House, Harry Reid. And then we have this and then we have that, and then they bring Obama in, and we get a sales pitch that has me asking, ‘Why in the hell are we getting this sales pitch if they\u2019ve got the votes? They don\u2019t have the votes,\u2019 I\u2019m saying to myself, they did not have the votes. They didn\u2019t have the votes Saturday night when they said they did. It was all a momentum builder. It was all a joke, it was all PR, it was all designed to dispirit the Republicans and dispirit Americans into thinking that it was over. Then we go into Sunday and they didn\u2019t have the votes. I\u2019m watching this and I\u2019m paying attention, and I got people e-mailing me all depressed, ‘Oh, Rush, it\u2019s over, what are we gonna do?\u2019 They don\u2019t have the votes yet. They did not have the votes as of three or four o\u2019clock on Sunday afternoon. <\/p>\n

They were running another scam, and Pelosi had to horse trade and give away all kinds of things. Stupak got money for three airports in Michigan. He got a phony promise on abortion. He sold out on abortion, because this bill pays for abortions. It mandates that abortions be taxpayer funded. I\u2019ll read you the segments after we take a break here. There\u2019s a lot of confusion on this. I\u2019ll make it very easy for you. I\u2019ll explain to you how the Senate bill that Obama\u2019s going to sign ends up with taxpayers paying for abortions. Bart Stupak knows it. Bart Stupak said we just played the clip last November, last October, oh, yeah, if I try to get my language and I fail, yeah, I\u2019ll still vote for health care. It\u2019s too important. So Stupak misleads everybody and his group of so-called pro-lifers misleads everybody, gives the nation hope when there was none, and he knew it all along. I\u2019ll tell you what I actually think, that they had the 216 before they went to Stupak, and I think that\u2019s one of the reasons that Stupak caved, because he caved for nothing. He caved for an empty piece of paper. I think Stupak didn\u2019t want to relinquish the stage. Whether I\u2019m right or wrong about that is irrelevant. <\/p>\n

The bottom line is the assault on the American middle class has begun by a man who claimed that his objective was to liberate them. By a man who claimed hope and change to improve their lives. It\u2019s just the exact opposite unless you view being dependent on government for everything as palatable. If you like that, if you\u2019re willing to trade away your freedom for some security, health care security or whatever, then this administration is for you. They have to be made dependent, the middle class, if their votes are to be paid for. They cannot be given real tax cuts to help them move up the ladder. Doing that makes them less dependent on government and people like Barack Obama. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just checked the e-mail, ladies and gentlemen. Honest to Pete, there\u2019s some people who want — and these are from subscribers, these are not from the Looney Tunes that are in the public e-mail, ElRushbo@eibnet.com. Well, not all the people there are kooks, but it\u2019s funny, I can\u2019t tell you how many invitations I\u2019m getting to go to Costa Rica today from people who thought that I said I would move to Costa Rica if we got health care passed. No, no, no, once all this gets implemented I\u2019m going there for my health care, but they are asking me to go ahead and move. But some in the subscriber account: ‘Rush, do you really think Obama has it out for the middle class?\u2019 I know people have a tough time getting their arms around this. This is why you have to understand who these people are, and it\u2019s right in front of you. What happened over the weekend? This health care bill, the way they were going to get it passed, they know they are governing against the will of the American people. <\/p>\n

I got a note from a friend of mine in New York. I don\u2019t watch CNN. I haven\u2019t watched CNN in I don\u2019t know how long, years. This friend said, ‘Hey, Rush I\u2019ve been watching CNN overnight until just now, and I\u2019m shocked at how quickly they\u2019ve abandoned the euphoria of Obamacare and are focusing on the hurdles still in the way of the reform.\u2019 Now, I don\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about, \u2019cause I don\u2019t watch CNN, so I don\u2019t know what hurdles they\u2019re talking about. My guess is they\u2019re talking about the hurdles in the Senate of getting the House\u2019s fixes to the Senate bill passed, the reconciliation bill. I haven\u2019t seen any mainstream media talking about how tough it\u2019s going to be to implement health reform. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s what he meant or not, but one thing they know: They know they\u2019re governing against the will of the people. They know they do not have the people behind them. They\u2019re acting like they\u2019re doing this for the American people, they\u2019re acting like all of this is because we want it, but it\u2019s not the case. They know they\u2019re governing against the will of the people, and that has to have them on edge, because there still are elections in this country, there still are. <\/p>\n

Now, this business about Obama taxing the middle class to make sure they become dependent, he has come to divide and has come to conquer, and I\u2019m telling you, folks, it is time to just accept the truth. His desire is to have as many people on federal dependency as possible. Let me explain it this way. I\u2019m going to use a term that many of you are uncomfortable with, but I\u2019m going to explain Marxism in this regard. Under Marxism, anybody who owns anything of value, anybody who has any savings, anybody who has any stock, is the bourgeoisie, the middle class. The Marxists consider the bourgeoisie, the middle class, to own capital, hence capitalists. It\u2019s not just industrialists and it\u2019s not just the rich. The power is in the middle class. Control the middle class, and you control the country. That\u2019s where the majority of people are. You make them dependent on you, one way or the other, you stand in the way of their achieving individual prosperity, and you own them. And you own their votes. <\/p>\n

So look at what some of the new taxes are in the health care bill: Taxes on savings, taxes on investment profits, taxes on profits and stocks, all to fund Medicare, which is going broke. They had the American people believing that we were in a recession in 2005. They had people believing that we were in a recession in 2006. Starting post-Katrina in the fall of 2005, they talked us into a recession. They got the media and their buddies there to continue talking and reporting about the fading US economy. Once they gave up on losing the war in Iraq, once they gave up on the notion that they could get Bush to surrender and give up and quit and leave, they were happy to talk down the economy. They knew it would hurt Wall Street, the middle class, the capitalists most of all. Nothing they do is coincidental. It\u2019s all strategic. They knew creating an economic crisis, a recession would give them a great opportunity to take over Congress and then use the crisis to restructure our economy. And they\u2019re doing it right before our eyes. They knew they could do it because they did it in the thirties. <\/p>\n

Coming out of the Great Depression, their fixes did what? Prolonged it. But entrenched the Democrats in power for 40 years. They\u2019re doing it again. They knew it would work. They\u2019re simply repeating a previous stratagem. And when the country\u2019s on its back, as it is now, they can ram through every piece of social welfare program they want because people are gonna need it because the private sector is not providing jobs for people to provide for themselves. So here come the guys on the white horses, ‘We\u2019ll fix it, insurance companies ripping you off, fine, your premiums are going down by $2,500. Your doctor won\u2019t cover your — we\u2019ll take care of that, too. We\u2019ll make it easy. You can\u2019t find a job? How about three years of unemployment benefit checks? We\u2019ll handle that for you.\u2019 So after talking the economy down, after convincing enough people we were in a recession and creating a self-fulfilling prophecy, now with underemployment today announced by Gallup at 20%, unemployment hovering at 10% for the foreseeable future and even Obama admits it, here comes health care reform, next comes amnesty. <\/p>\n

I said in the first hour, I can just hear Obama as he sells amnesty. (imitating Obama) ‘There are some people who think, because they don\u2019t like the color of your skin, that you shouldn\u2019t be an American.\u2019 I can hear it at town hall after town hall after town hall. I can hear it speech after speech after speech. He has come to divide, he\u2019s come to conquer. You think you\u2019re mad over what happened here with health care, imagine at 20% underemployment, 10% unemployment, amnesty for 15 to 20 million more people, where are they going to go to get a job? And what if they\u2019ll go do jobs as legal citizens for the four bucks an hour you won\u2019t work for? What if they get jobs that you won\u2019t take, people are allowed to reduce their labor load. ‘Okay, no problem, we\u2019ll up your unemployment benefits to four years and we\u2019ll lower your insurance premium by $4,000. And we\u2019ll also pay your car insurance,\u2019 whatever it takes, they will say.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go back to the Kennedy assassination. On the heels of the Kennedy assassination, the Democrats had a two-to-one advantage in the House and a big advantage in the Senate. The nation was still in shock over the death of JFK and in 1965 we got what? Medicare. And LBJ has this giant signing ceremony in Independence, Missouri, with Harry Truman and we get Medicare in 1965. It has exploded what its predicted costs were by factors of thousands of percent. It\u2019s not even in the ballpark of what they said it was going to cost, and not everybody gets covered. Medicaid was part of this, too. They just didn\u2019t say so at the time. They tacked that on later. It\u2019s why they have to be defeated. They must be hounded out of office. This is what they do when they have the ability. So don\u2019t doubt me when I tell you, they don\u2019t want anybody getting tax cuts, especially the middle class. You cannot be allowed to improve your prosperity. You must be further made dependent and it fits right in with Obama\u2019s dislike of the way the country was founded in the first place and his aim to change it, and that\u2019s what he meant by change. He didn\u2019t mean, ‘I\u2019m going to do better than Bush.\u2019 He meant, ‘I\u2019m going to change this, sucker, I\u2019m going to change this country in ways that you never imagined, in ways that it ought to be. But I don\u2019t dare tell you what real change I\u2019m talking about,\u2019 he says, ”cause I wouldn\u2019t get elected.\u2019 <\/p>\n

From the Wall Street Journal: ‘The US pay czar plans to review executive compensation at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., J.P. Morgan Chase &amp; Co. and 417 other firms that took government bailout funds, to determine if any bonuses, salary or other compensation paid during a short window should be returned, according to government officials. Kenneth Feinberg, the Treasury Department\u2019s special master for compensation, will send a letter Tuesday to 419 firms that received TARP funds seeking data on compensation paid to the top 25 executives. The pay review will cover a relatively short period but will capture the 2008 end-of-year bonus season at most large firms.\u2019 So you can just add this guy onto the 16,000 IRS agents that will be hires if the Senate passes the House reconciliation bill to make sure that you are buying your health insurance as you will be mandated to under law, or if you choose not to, which will be fine, if you are paying your fine. And your fine is couple grand or 2% of your income, whichever is greater. It\u2019s still going to be cheaper than buying an insurance policy. <\/p>\n

But the IRS, yep, you\u2019re going to have a new form on your 1040-EZ or your 1040 where you prove that you\u2019ve bought your health insurance, and your tax return now will be shared with the Department of Health and Human Services, because if you go through the Senate health care bill, the House health care, doesn\u2019t matter which, you\u2019ll see, as determined by the secretary so many times that I lost count — that\u2019s at this moment the Health and Human Services secretary, Kathleen Sebelius — as the secretary may direct. So if the secretary wants to find out any details of your tax return, she\u2019s going to be allowed to see them. It\u2019s in the legislation. Sixteen thousand new IRS agents to make sure that there is compliance with this liberating and wonderful new health care reform. Now, who in the world needs 16,500 new cops for something that is so wonderful and such a positive change, hmm? Hmm?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
