The Continuing Education of Professor Althouse

Our favorite Madison law professor asks:

But if we with the "Cadillac" health plans have to start paying taxes on our benefits, that's a huge middle class tax increase, and we were promised that wouldn't happen. Rebalancing the pay package doesn't save us from that tax hit — even assuming our employers would reshuffle things. Plus we love our great health benefits, and we were told if we liked them, we'd get to keep them. How is it fair to change the rules on us after we worked so hard to get what we have? The Democrats, including Obama, got elected by saying "middle class" over and over again. They never said they were going to provide for the less fortunate at our expense, and I don't see how they would have gotten elected if they had.

The answer comes at about 1:10 of this clip. Just so you know, the answer is not safe for work.

Ha ha ha ha ha

Obama has already broken that promise.

"we were told if we liked them, we'd get to keep them."

Did you not see the trend for what The LightWorker says and actually does?


"They never said they were going to provide for the less fortunate at our expense, and I don't see how they would have gotten elected if they had."

Actually, Obama campaigned on Redistribution of Wealth. (and the media and the ObamaNation labasted an average Joe Citizen for pointing it out. OUCH!)

Sane Americans were not fooled.
