Obamas Healthcare was sitting with him on the decks of the Titanic.
The life boats are all gone.
Suddenly SCOTUS throws him a life preserver.
Except its full of lead.
Obam and his Affordable Health Care Act will sink to the darkest reach of the ocean because its NOW A BIG TAX.
The lemonade that can be made is a full exposure of what will happen after implementation, from the death panels to employers dropping health insurance plans en masse.
SCOTUS has effectively told Congress that no matter how well they think they've disguised it, a tax is a tax. A penalty is a tax, a fine is a tax. The meaning of a tax has taken on a much broader definition than it had previously.
We all knew that it was a tax, even though Democrats denied it. Their denial gave fig leaves to the crucial votes they needed to get it passed. The bill passed on a false premise and the American people now know they were lied to.
What's Obama going to say in defense? "I had no idea Congress was voting to raise taxes." How stupid does that sound?
And how are the Democrats (remember not a single Republican voted for this) going to deny they raised taxes? "We didn't know the penalty was a tax." How well is that answer going to play-it makes them sound like idiots who didn't even read or understand the legislation they voted for.
I can't wait for the August town meetings although I'm sure the Rats are going to go into hiding again.
Good Post.
not only is it a big tax, it is Obama’s tax. He owns it. He can’t blame Bush or anyone else for this one, although I wouldn’t put it past him, of course.
