Only to point this out....it’s a tax that has no effect on the wealthy of America. It’s aimed at the working class and those just above poverty. Once you lay this out in front of the 35 million folks who don’t have health insurance today....they will make up their mind about the logic of this. It fails to help.
According to Saul Alinski, Obomas prophet, the middle class is the enemy. They're the ones who have all the money and political power in elections. Because of that, they have to be destroyed or absorbed. The way to do that is to impoverish them, so they, too, become as dependent on the government as those below them. If the left could make that happen, the left would never again have to be concerned about elections. They'd be in power forever.
You nailed it. This tax is a dagger at the heart of the poor, and the left now realizes it. They will, believe it or not, likely join us to get rid of it.
It’s ironic, because the left was fine when it was a penalty on the poor, but they’re freaking out now that it’s a tax.
