If the Democrats’ upper-middle-class educated urban liberal base deserts them, who will they have left?

Of course, many of these people have insurance through their employers and will not be impacted. But just try ‘tax reform’, with the elimination of the deductions that these people typically use.

Not true!! many people who remain on their employers policy will see their rates explode!!

Every working stiff will be affected. Even those on company insurance will feel it through taxation.

It is beyond my how clueless those Obama voters were in 2008. I saw through his BS but supposedly intelligent co-workers bought it.

I think it was the Xanax and / or other personality changing pharmaceuticals.

Yes they will. Rates are going up everywhere, they’ve been increasing the past couple of years and the deductables have been getting higher. People have had to buy “gap” plans that most employers don’t cover. In other words, employers are paying more and employees are paying more. Eventually employers will stop providing insurance. They are going to be required to report premiums on employee W-2’s. Now what could that possibly mean? Can you say taxable income?

Millions of pissed off former supporters.

Why is everyone under the impression that those with employer provided insurance aren’t impacted? My premium went up 72 freekin percent.

Obama and the Democrats actual stated goal is to form a new coalition of Political, Cultural, Technological, Managerial, Academic , Cultural and Financial Elites at the Top, and enough of an Under Class and people dependent upon government at the bottom to give them a sustainable electoral majority

They are jettisoning the old Working Class, Middle Class and Union Members that used to be the backbone of the Democrat Party.

This is why illegal immigration is so critical for them - they have to rapidly manufacture new patronage dependent voter blocks because they are intentionally destroying their old voter blocks.
