Back in 2008, when then-candidate Obama promised Joe the Plumber and the rest of America that he intended to spread the wealth around, most democrat and liberal voters embraced the notion of wealth redistribution under the guise of equality. A universal health care plan, that would be free for all Americans, was the promise from the candidate of hope and change.
Tens of millions of Americans jumped on the bandwagon waving their flags, fainting at his appearances, and fawning over his every word.
None ever thought about where the money would come from for all this new found wealth he promised to bestow upon them.
But those who understand that socialism, communism and governance by the collective are failed experiments, warned where that money would come from. It would be taken by force from the toils of the middle class, and it’d impoverish them in the process.
Now the myrmidons who once vehemently supported the policies of President Barack Obama without question are coming to the realization that when Obama spoke about spreading the wealth he actually meant their wealth too!
Cindy Vinson is one such supporter. This month, like many Americans who have health insurance through their employer or private insurers, Vinson got an unwanted awakening to the reality of government sponsored wealth confiscation and redistribution:
Cindy Vinson and Tom Waschura are big believers in the Affordable Care Act. They vote independent and are proud to say they helped elect and re-elect President Barack Obama.
Yet, like many other Bay Area residents who pay for their own medical insurance, they were floored last week when they opened their bills: Their policies were being replaced with pricier plans that conform to all the requirements of the new health care law.
Vinson, of San Jose, will pay $1,800 more a year for an individual policy, while Waschura, of Portola Valley, will cough up almost $10,000 more for insurance for his family of four.
…
“I was laughing at Boehner — until the mail came today,” Waschura said, referring to House Speaker John Boehner, who is leading the Republican charge to defund Obamacare.
“I really don’t like the Republican tactics, but at least now I can understand why they are so pissed about this. When you take $10,000 out of my family’s pocket each year, that’s otherwise disposable income or retirement savings that will not be going into our local economy.”
Both Vinson and Waschura have adjusted gross incomes greater than four times the federal poverty level — the cutoff for a tax credit. And while both said they anticipated their rates would go up, they didn’t realize they would rise so much.
“Of course, I want people to have health care,” Vinson said. “I just didn’t realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally.”
Socialism is an awesome idea, isn’t it?
Until it’s you who has to foot the bill.
Ms. Vinson wanted hard working Americans to feel the pain, to give up their life’s work for equal wealth distribution, and she voted to force these mandates on unwilling Americans at the barrel of a gun.
Who’s in front of the barrel now, Ms. Vinson?
You, and the rest of the 50 million people who elected Barack Obama to not one, but two terms, deserve the pain that’s coming.
You asked for it. Now bask in it.
duh
Hey Zero lovers, bend over.
Those who enter the oval orifice are expected to kiss the ring of the anointed one upon entering. The problem is that the ring is in Cupcake’s back pocket.
There is a God!!!!!!!!! The bastards that inflicted this misery on me are going to get a piece of the Action. Thank You Jesus!!!
What do you want to bet that when Obama runs next time, as President for Life, these jerks will still vote for him?
Free stuff costs a lot.
In $$ and freedom.
The only way Obama lovers will truly understand that Communism and Socialism is NEVER the answer is to actually experience it themselves..they love Obama, voted for him twice, danced in the streets when Obamacare was passed..let them suffer with it for a while, see how bad it really is
“I Didn’t Realize I Would Be The One Who Was Going to Pay For It Personally”
Then you are clearly an ignorant *sshole.
And do you really think it’d be better if others - with families and financial responsibilities of their own to manage - paid your health bills for you???
Read the constitution, kid, and then GET A LIFE FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!
Telling these dumb asses “I told you so” doesn’t help lubricate the obamacare treatment I’m getting.
Yes, those who are stupid will often find themselves confused by things that are obvious to normal people.

This is going to be thoroughly entertaining to watch.
Economics 101; A lesson for democrats/progressives.
The realization by 0bama zombies and their sycophants that economics is NOT about math, but a reflection of human nature and self interest.
This Zerocare “experiment” will leave them scratching their heads as their supporters “choose” to pay the penalty/tax since it is substantially less expensive than paying for someone else.
As the young idealists that are fundamentally selfish tout this “train-wreck” they themselves will act in their own interest.
I expect that very soon we will see ads from “everyday” people that are excited to pay for something they don’t want or need.
The next phase of propagandacare will be an attempt to guilt the young into signing up.
Cue Sally Struthers, and the sad sad stories.
“For the price of just one Starbucks coffee a day, you can provide care for this sad desperate crack addicted high school dropout single mother from a broken home of another sad desperate crack addicted high school dropout single mother from a broken home”
These people are so stupid and ignorant it just makes me sick.
Guess what...Obama lied to you and doesn’t give a rat’s posterior about your predicament. Remember... if you like your insurance you can keep it...you can keep your doctor...Obamacare will save you $2500 per year...all lies. For Obama it’s all about political power and if you get screwed too bad.
“I really don’t like the Republican tactics, but at least now I can understand why they are so pissed about this. When you take $10,000 out of my family’s pocket each year, that’s otherwise disposable income or retirement savings that will not be going into our local economy.”
You asked for it, you got it, 0bamaCare!
Good. I finally found one good thing about 0bamacare. Liberals are being forced to eat their own shite.
What a sickening and unusual collection of weirdoes.
They pedestalize homosexuals and a creep who flew under the radar on his way to the White Hut. He is an utterly worthless human being who has about as much business being president as a pig has in Sunday school!
Cupcake probably smears lipstick on his face as well.
Clown Prince nobama and his useless grifter family will live off their stolen millions of ill-gotten money while the rest of us will live in despair. What a legacy for the worthless punk.
