In a recent New York Times article, the idea of what president Obama called in his campaign "the largest middle-class tax increase in history" is now clearly back in play.
Read the N.Y. Times article that claims the Obama administration is now open to taxing employer-provided health benefits:

Is someone freakin' kidding me?! Obama ran TV ads against this idea during the election, and now he's open to it?! See one of his ads here on youtube:

I've got a better idea- why don't we lower the coverage that politicians receive (which is platinum-plated and totally awesome) to the level of the average American. I bet Washington could find a solution then!!
Seriously pissed...

ReplyDeleteOne of the things that i liked about obama during his campaign against Clinton was his insistence that he would not tax employer provided benefits.
