If you're like me (and you may not be like me) you're mightily confused, upset, and down right angry about health care deform the Democrats may push through without a vote (because it would lose). And the health care deform comes with new taxes that will reduce investment and thus jobs. And that's just some of the new taxes. As the Heritage Foundation states:
It includes new middle-class taxes and government spending, bunches of federal boards and bureaucracies, mandates and penalties, an entitlement expansion, and unprecedented taxpayer funding of abortion. It is also characterized by flagrant inequities: special back-room deals at the expense of federal taxpayers for
Florida, Nebraska, and Louisiana.
So how to stop this? Is it even possible? Will the Democrats ram this down the throats of the American people whether they want it or not (they don't)? Can it be repealed if the GOP retakes Congress in November (or will Obama veto that)?
As Thomas Sowell says, politicians are rarely punished for being wrong. Oh, some may lose election (and go on to bigger pay as a lobbyist) but it's not their money they are putting up. It's not their insurance that's going to become more expensive. It's not them who will be put on waiting lists for routine and emergency procedures. It's you and me.
How's that hope and change working out for you?
