There
are actually two messages here. The first is very
interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding - and
explains a lot.
A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided
very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations
International Health Organization.
Percentage
of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:
U.S.
65%
England
46%
Canada
42%
Percentage
of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within
six months:
U.S.
93%
England
15%
Canada
43%
Percentage
of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six
months:
U.S.
90%
England
15%
Canada
43%
Percentage
referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:
U.S.
77%
England
40%
Canada
43%
Number
of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:
U.S.
71
England
14
Canada
18
Percentage
of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent
health":
U.S.
12%
England
2%
Canada
6%
And now for the last statistic:
National Health Insurance?
U.S.
NO
England
YES
Canada
YES
Check this last set of
statistics!!
The
percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the
private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
You
know what the private business sector is. A real-life business,
not a Government job. Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt................... 38%
Taft................................ 40%
Wilson .......................... 52%
Harding.......................... 49%
Coolidge........................ 48%
Hoover........................... 42%
F. Roosevelt................... 50%
Truman........................... 50%
Eisenhower.................... 57%
Kennedy......................... 30%
Johnson.......................... 47%
Nixon.............................. 53%
Ford............................... 42%
Carter............................. 32%
Reagan........................... 56%
GH Bush......................... 51%
Clinton .......................... 39%
GW Bush........................ 55%
Obama......................... 8%
This helps to explain the incompetence of this
administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private
business!
That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of
the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell
our big Corporations how to run their business?
How can the president of a major nation and
society, the one with the most successful
economic system in world history, stand and talk
about business when he's never worked for
one?
Or
about jobs when he has never really
had one?
And
when it's the same for 92% of his
senior staff and closest advisers?
They've spent most of their time in academia, Government and/or
non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They
should have been in an employment line.
Pass this on because we'll NEVER see these facts in the main
stream media.

These past 'presidents' that worked for big business were strategically placed in office so that they could continue to protect the interests of those very same businesses. Therefore, those 'presidents' are nothing more than corporate patsy's or 'figureheads'. The same thing happened with senators and other politicians like Rumsfeld.
This posting outright admits that the corporations run Washington and that basically the Gov't is nothing but a corporation! LOL!!! So, doesn't that violate the Constitution and isn't that illegal?
What's really frightening about all of this is how duped the republicans are! But, I guess that's easy to do to 50% of the population that live in the red states and are told over and over "you don't need no fancy liberal college education. That's for those democrats, uncle toms, jews and fags in the Northeast! You just need to go and work for and make the corporations rich, because the ceo's worked so hard and they truly earned all those millions they get. Be happy with what little you have and live within your means and stay away from unions! They are commie organizations that steal money from the corporations! Oh and one more thing: the only book that you should be reading is the bible because every word of it is true and everything else that you'll read is of the devil!"
Need I say more because I think that pretty much covers it. Also, most people in the red states collect some type of PUBLIC ASSISTANCE (ie: paid for by us taxpayers), are morbidly obese from eating junk all day and are considered the poorest of the poor in this country. 'Nuff said!!!
The health statistics are false. There is no such article on Investor's Business Daily, and the UN International Health Organization doesn't even exist. Just another example of an author coming up with their own 'facts' and slapping an authoritative-sounding source on them.
As for the business experience:
Michael Cembalest, the COO (at least, he was COO at the time of his article) of J.P. Morgan, came up with the original 8% figure in an article he posted at Forbes. He later adjusted the 8% up to 20% 'or more.' Cembalest looked at the former business experience of 9 key cabinet members: the Secretaries of State, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Energy, and Housing & Urban Development.
His conclusions (both the original 8% and adjusted 20%) are false. Out of the 9 cabinet members Cembalest observed, 7 of Obama's have private sector experience, which puts him at 78%.
The following 7 out of 9 had experience in the private sector before joining the cabinet: Steven Chu, Shaun Donovan, Ken Salazar, Hillary Clinton, Thomas Vilsack, Gary Locke, and Timothy Geithner. (Gary Locke is no longer Secretary of Commerce, but he was at the time of Cembalest's article.)
I suspect that if you picked out any other presidents (yes, even Republican ones) from his list, you wind find similarly deceptive figures regarding previous business experience in their cabinets.
