Well when those taxcuts for the “rich” expire I think alot of people will change their minds about how in the tank Bush was over large businesses.
“What do you mean my taxes are $500 higher this year? Those tax cuts were for the rich, not me!”
“But sir, everyone who pays taxes benefitted from that tax cut.”
“But why are MY taxes going up?”
“Because you are part of the forementioned ‘everyone’.”
There’s no way Obama can fund this program without raising EVERYONE’S taxes. Sure the rich might be able to cover the initial 50-80 million people, maybe and if so barely, but once people start getting forced off their current plans and onto the government plan there’s no way the “wealthiest 5%” can pay for 180-250 million people. That math just doesn’t compute.
You can only steal from the rich for so long…
