Tax on health benefits may be delayed until 2013

WASHINGTON – Legislation to be outlined next week in the Senate Finance Committee will likely include a new tax on workers with the costliest employer-provided health coverage (even though Maobama campaigned against it), officials said Friday, but with implementation delayed until 2013 to minimize any political fallout...... A 2013 effective date would allow Obama to run for re-election before its impact is felt.

1) What is the "costliest employer-provided health coverage"? Health coverage that isn't government-provided health coverage? 2) Are the American people really so dumb that they would re-elect the liar right before their taxes are impacted or ARE they too worried about American Idol to even pay attention?

Maobama lied. America died.


Update: Sunday P.M.:
No support for health benefits tax . Vice President Joe Biden said that administration doesn't want to tax health care benefits even though the proposal should be on the table.

You can bet your life they are! Generally, the people have an attention span of about 48 hours, and even less if the media fills their heads with the latest news about some Commiewood ho's latest escapades.

The last election proved that 52% of the people are dumber than a half-full box of rocks.

The other 48% are arming themselves to the teeth.

Unfortunately (or fortunately???) I can only trade bullets for heart medication in Mexico. It may be a good thing our newest property is only 50-miles from the border!
