By the time they get through trying to set up these exchanges, they will be wanting to raise taxes yet again.

True, but if you remember, the grand plan was for all of this to be paid for with a VAT, which the TEA Party victory in 2010 upset. Remember how Pelosi and company did not want to pass a budget that year until AFTER the election?

I won’t be surprised at all if that happens. But that tax would hit everybody, would it not? And that would destroy any remaining pretense that Obama is not raising taxes on those under $200000 income.

A leftist last week was pushing the Cap and Trade as a universal tax. It would be imposed on Carbon Emitters who would raise rates to customers including almost everyone.

He spilled the beans. They know the taxpayer base must be expanded to the masses, including the poor.
