Adding It All Up

 Statistics worth knowing

*There are actually two messages here. The 1st points out the
incredible _benefits_ of Universal Healthcare and is very
interesting; the 2nd is absolutely astounding - and explains a
lot.**

*1.***A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very

**2.**The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had
worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment
to the cabinet. **

*Here are the percentages.*
*T. Roosevelt................... 38%*
*Taft............................... 40%*
*Wilson .......................... 52%*
*Harding.......................... 49%*
*Coolidge....................... 48%*
*Hoover ......................... 42%*
*F. Roosevelt...................50%*
*Truman........................ 50%*
*Johnson........................ 47%*
*Nixon............................ 53%*
*Ford............................. 42%*
*Carter........................... 32%*
*Reagan..........................86%*
*GH Bush....................... 51%*
*Clinton ......................... 39%*
*GW Bush...................... 55%*

*And the winner is:*

**Obama..................8%**

**This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration:
only 8% of them have ever worked in a job not supported by tax
money!**

*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? They know what's best
for GM, Chrysler , Wall Street, and you and me?*

*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! We'll NEVER see these facts in the main stream
media. *
