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.”
The young people I know won't vote for him again... then again, he knows the Chicago Way of winning elections... fraud.
I laughed out loud at your last paragraph. Priceless!
why aren't these points being blasted over the tv and radio constantly.....???
These people are so stupid and ignorant it just makes me sick.
Aw, but it turns out that these two idiots are still willing to pay because they still think Obama care is a good thing.
But they said it would be free!
I laughed out loud at your last paragraph. Priceless!
Coming to a neighborhood near you.
Propaganda, marketing, whatever.
Flies in the Vaseline.

There was living space for 13 families in this one house comrade
Notice the one in the middle, she is so stupid she has her “forward” sign turned around.
Useless idiots, all.
Quick: who is that a picture of? Cindy Vinson or Tom Waschura?
Must be interesting. Going through life this frickin' stupid.
"Like wow Dude. Someone has to pay for this free stuff?"
Who took the picture of Pat?
And only taxpayers may vote. Oh and accepting any entitlements EVER causes you to forever after lose your voting rights. (I can dream, can’t I?)
Good post. I laugh in the face of those idiots who thought
it was for everyone but them because they voted for the
dangerous moron that instituted this insane policy!!
When they sign you up, even if you don’t get through to get
your “exchange”...they have your information to do with however
they want. Think about it....
I’m so glad that Gov. Perry opted out of the exchanges. Thank you, Jesus!
Yes, it does often seem that Americans don’t seem quite to know where the government gravy train gets its gravy.
Yes, I take your point. Good catch.
Yeah, I understand perfectly.
It’s amazing how many people in America are endlessly compassionate as long as someone else is footing the bill.
