Rep. Frost (D) is "explaining" ObamaCare.
"It would be unfair to pass ObamaCare without a way to pay for it."
"Obama's feet aren't set in concrete. It would have been irresponsible for Obama not to go back on his promise not to tax health benefits."
"Only rich and upper-class people will have their health benefits taxed. That's fair since they're rich."
"We must ensure that great health costs can be paid by everyone."
A lot of people are going to find out, to their amazement, how rich they are.
I say we should seize their farms and give the land to the poor people who donated to the campaign.
Worked fine in Zimbabwe.
So what happens if the “rich” decide not to purchase any health care and keep the money for a rainy day. I’m sure if they get sick, they can always go on the public option insurance plan because the government will not be able to deny care as a result of a pre-existing condition.

Ummmm...HELLO...the bottom of the union scale is higher than most seasoned non-union workers make.
So, I guess that means that any plain old American who has inoperable brain cancer will receive the same world-class medical treatment that Sen. Kennedy is receiving AND, with Sen. Kennedy being a wealthy man, that Sen. Kennedy will help pay for that world-class medical care via his increased taxes.
Somehow, I just don’t think that is going to happen.
Of course, under most truly liberal versions of government-rationed health care, Ted wouldn’t even be getting cancer treatment because he is too old, and it is a waste of health care resources to treat those who are terminal.
The Demorat Party truly is the Party of Death!
I never could stand Frost!
That is illegal. Laws must apply to all.
Once again, the dems are creating a privileged class that receives benefits from the government in return for their vote. This is illegal and unconstitutional. It most definitely is.
“Only rich and upper-class people will have their health benefits taxed”
I can’t wait til tell hubby we are officially rich. Yippee!
Nice to have friends in high places I guess. :(
“This is illegal and unconstitutional”
Yes, it is. But the quesion is what are we the people going to do about it?
I have carpal tunnel from dialing phones, writing letters, sending faxes, etc. to no avail.
Why give their money away to the tax collectors if they can keep it themselves? It would be stupid for the rich to buy health care under the Oboma Health Care Welfare bill. They'd be flushing their money down the toilet just like the rest of us.
So, state franchise laws are blown away due to Government Motors and Fix-it-again-Tony-Chrysler, union thugs can intimidate workers in right-to-work states to join the union ‘or else’. Next, no one will want to take any promotion to get out of a bargaining unit, since the raise for the promotion will be obliterated due to their healthcare benefits being taxed. This is anti-upward mobility class warfare and a naked implementation of Marxist labor principles.
Now Obama want to reward them with our tax dollars.
I read where all federal employees will be exempted also.
I wish Cavuto were there to challenge him.
Alexis Glick is a liberal idiot. I cannot stand her.
