It may be unpopular to say so, but it is true: the U.S. is very close to, if not past, the tipping point at which the majority of the people are net beneficiaries of big government — or so they think. People who receive a check from the government may see voting for a smaller government as contrary to their best interest. If they don’t pay taxes, why should they care about a tax increase?
Perceptions are, however, deceiving.”Healthcare reform,” as the (Un)Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) is billed, probably shows more clearly than anything else how most Americans, including Romney’s notorious 47%, are harmed by government “benefits.”
Lower wage earners, who produce real goods or provide a service their fellow Americans value, pay for those benefits even if they’re not liable for federal income tax. Fifteen percent is taken right off the top of their earnings for the Social Security/Medicare tax. This is 100% a tax, and 0% an investment. It is 100% spent, immediately, on other people’s entitlements, with a politician’s promise that the workers may get an entitlement someday, paid for by future workers — if they and the program survive long enough.
All Americans, including the working poor, will, as early as 2013, be hit with the medical device tax and the rest of some 18 ObamaCare-related tax hikes amounting to perhaps $500 billion. Starting in 2014 is the ObamaTax proper, the individual and employer mandate.

The 47% figure that Obamacare is FREE, like every other thing they get from others, via the “Governement Money”.
What happens once the idiot Hussein voters finally figure it out?
That is right. They don’t read and don’t pay attention. This economist has been warning about Obamacare taxes for years.

With all of the energy used to try and unseat this fraud in the past four and the future four the likely ones who will eventually do it is his very own idiot squad. They eat there own dontcha know

Nothing. While we were busy playing by the rules, working and raising our children the country became Brazil. Think about it.

I’m guessing... not much. It would require some basic math skills and some financial acumen.
Every lib I know is drooling over the coming eight years of Hillary following Obama’s eight.
She will have a coronation in 2016...
I’m from the Givernment and I have come to give you a free lifetime supply of
debt...
More debt than you can possibly imagine
More debt than you could possibly repay in a lifetime
and its absolutely free,
paid for by the ever shrinking value of the dollar!!
It’s just like winning the lottery of life for a little while...
I hope it costs them every last dime in their pockets.
We shouldn’t make it our mission to protect them from their stupidity. Already too many people have don’t that their entire lives.
Hillary v. Jeb: no contest. It will be just like 2012.
LOL! good one!
Thanks plain talk. Self-ping.
“If you think healthcare’s expensive now, just wait until it’s free.”
0bama leaving office in 2016? DOUBTFUL.
