Omsorgspartiet! At Høyre i årets budsjett, gjerne vil heve egenandelene for de svakeste for å la de rikeste slippe formueskatt, kom vel knapt som noe sjokk for den vanlige menigmann.. Alle vet jo at Høyre kun klør Norges elite både her og der, men de er i sin arroganse i alle fall ærlige i sine hensikter. De som har stemt Høyre, og de som i kanskje i fremtiden vil stemme på partiet for de rikeste, vet hva de får. Men at ”omsorgs” partiet Krf, det er i alle fall hva de kaller seg selv, går med på å øke kostnadene for de svakeste med sitt forslag om økte egenandeler, ja det må jo forundre de fleste. Bondevik som nesten med tårer i øynene taler så varmt for de svakeste og fattige i landet vår, eller tar jeg feil, var det de fattigste og svakeste i andre land han kanskje snakket så varmt og følsomt om. Det er i grunn merkelig at ikke Krfs politikere fatter hvorfor partiet snart og heldigvis er under sperregrensen, noe mange av oss andre har forstått og sett grunnen til for lenge siden. Men det kan være en enkel forklaring til partiets handlemåte, nemlig at høyre og venstre hjernehalvdeler ikke er kapable til å samarbeide, i alle fall kan det virke slik der de taler med to tunger. Forhåpentligvis er flertallet av Stortingsrepresentantene imot forslaget til økt skatt på sykdom, slik at ”omsorgs” partiet igjen går på et nederlag, akkurat som forrige gang. Vi kan jo også håpe på en bedre hukommelse for folk flest ved neste korsvei, slik at dette partiet kun blir noen dårlige ord i en historiebok en gang i nærmeste fremtid. Tønsberg 17.09.2005 Ulf H.
