President Obama's natioanlized healthcare plan is being dubbed : QAHCAA (Quality, Affordable Health Coverage for All Americans)
Surely, this was not intentional...or, was it? QAHCAA...is pronounced...CACA*
(*...ca·ca f. 1) colloquial (excremento) poop; 2) (defecto) defect, error; 3) (porquerÃa) crap, junk...)
Oslumlord and the liberals all make the same, frequent mistake: they assume that when they act, the rest of the world will remain the same.
But the world is a moving target.
It doesn't matter what the specific issue is. That's a general rule. The most common liberal mistake is that if you tax something, the taxpayers will continue exactly as is. But the moment you tax a revenue stream, the people who profit from that stream will change it. The act of taxing inevitably produces a response; people adjust.
Think of the ratcheting effect of this public option, and how it interacts with small businesses. Take a hypothetical community of 100 small businesses. Let's say that 10 of them are on the margin right now.
* Increasing taxes will drive those 10 out of business, or at least cause layoffs.
* That means that instead of 100 businesses paying the tax for the public option, now only 90 are paying for it, and now they're paying extra (for the employees of the 10 businesses that went broke).
*90 are paying for 10 extra.
* Now let's consider the remaining 90. Some were OK before the change. But now that they're paying more, they're suddenly in trouble. Let's say that 5 more drop out.
*Now, 85 are paying for 15 extra.
As the number of businesses drops, and the cost of the public option increases, it ratchets up the pressure. The Obama Gang assures us that we have no need to worry, because his plan only applies to the top percent. But as time goes along, it constantly increases the pressure, creating a smaller and smaller top percent....and inevitably hits us, the middle class.
Now, if we were talking about a few million dollars in extra taxes spread across the United States, that's not a big deal. But with all the things Obama is trying to do, we're talking several trillion dollars of pressure.
Pressure 5-6 generations of American's will feel when it comes directly from their wallets.
So, just keep this in mind and call your congress representative and let them know you are not backing this piece of shit, sorry, QAHCAA bill...and if they do, they will not have your vote next cycle.

Is Yesterday Tomorrow Today? I couldn't resist! That's a song from Stereophonics(1999). I didn't know you had such an ironic sense of humor, lol! Don't have Twitter so I comment here, you can delete it now. ;)
