The Curse of Alexander Hamilton

AlexanderHamilton

Admittedly, the following video presents a strong point of view with which quite a few of you may disagree.

Feel free to chime in below with your thoughts.

Either way, enjoy the food for thought on your Saturday morning.

“The Curse of Alexander Hamilton” examines the historical evolution of the General Welfare Clause of the U.S. Constitution from the Constitutional Convention to the 1936 Supreme Court decision that fundamentally changed the role of government in the lives of the citizenry. Hamilton’s view of the definition of the ‘general welfare’ along with competing views by other Founders and statesmen that followed will be examined in order to provide a historical picture of the intense debate that has been with us since the founding of the nation and still shapes economic policy today.

    Start with premise no coincidence in healthcare exchange thus healthcare exchange website server intentionally sabotaged to fail. Purpose was to merely collect health data otherwise protected and kept safe under Federal HIPA now Obama knowing these sickest of Americans would naturally apply firts to spoof government website Healthcare gov where Obama collects data parses, locates which NASDAQ traded bio tech compnay has drugs in pipeline waiting for FDA approval Obama once Ill. Senator in 2002 was known to have invested in Bio techs but lost money due to FDA incompetence in delaying approvals directs FDA to fast track approval which he has front run buy purchasing stock in same companies.

    Lastly to keep others involved in massive historical scam he juices three big health insurers Humana United Healthcare and Wellpoint all medicaid providers with guaranteed revenues which an agreement existed whereby they agreed to pay certain taxes for this benefit now having been preordained with massive power are going back to medicaid to ‘NEGOTIATE’ err extort- these payments thus causing shortfall in medicaid which you guessed it-taxpayers must make up for.

    I bought $UNH to hedge this effect.

      Thanks for the tip on $UNH.

      Seriously, I would read conspiracy theories more often if they all contained stock-recommendations, either short or long ideas. Why put a good thesis to waste?

    This guys sounded like a nutbag in the first 2 minutes. Then he proceeded to mention that he home schools his kids, giving further proof that he is a nutbag. I just can’t believe his initial premise about what college students answered on their essay. Most kids come from homes that have worked hard and struggled to get them to were they are. They wouldn’t be in a ‘top’ college if they didn’t work hard themselves! I find it hard to believe that they think the government will give them everything they need. Instead, I feel like most of the bias is from the interpretation of the answers (aka nutbag interpretation). I could not listen to more than 5 minutes of this guy. I prefer to listen to libertarians like Milton Freedom who use logic and reason to prove their points.
