But . . but . . . my President promised me that my taxes would not go up one dime. And he also said that if I liked the coverage I had, I could keep it.
It has been my understanding that this is a voluntary program.

Since most Americans won’t have a job by then, it’s a moot point.

They had better watch out, I’m pissed and I may hit back at someone standing too close to me.
If any person is a democrat I strongly suggest you had better wear a Tea Party shirt because if you get in my face with your smug socialistic attitude I am putting you on the floor.
A new payroll tax plus Bush tax cuts expire on Jan 1 - who boy this is going to be a big hit for the workers.

Insurance experts, including the chief actuary for the Medicare program, who have analyzed the CLASS Act believe it is near certain to suffer from “adverse selection.” That is, because it is voluntary and enrollment is likely to be relatively expensive, only workers who already suffer from some conditions that make them high risks for disability will want to sign up. Consequently, premiums are likely to fall short of obligations, forcing administrators to either raise premiums even more or cut promised benefits. This will further discourage healthy workers from participating.
I keep hearing about the cost of the government of continuing the Bush tax cuts. When that statement is made, it presumes that the worker’s income is the government’s and they only let you keep a part of it. My solution is to reduce spending rather than tax more. In my view, there is no such thing as a cost to the government for a tax cut.
We must resist the tendency to base our tax structure on envy. One of the most chilling statements I have ever heard from a public official was when President Obama said, “...at some point, you’ve made enough.” Who said so? Isn’t the chance to succeed what drives capitalism? I believe that anyone who ascribes to that view is not thinking big enough. I never want the government to ever say, “You’ve made enough.”
Remember on Nov. 2, it is your chance to clean out those who want to limit us as a nation and replace them with public officials who will work to help us achieve our maximum.
