You supported a bunch of socialists. What the hell did you expect?

New York Post:

Local unions are waging war against President Obama’s proposed “Cadillac tax” on higher-cost health-care plans -- with one leader warning New York Democrats who approve the levy to watch out at the polls this year.

“The proposed tax is both terrible politics and bad policy, and it’s going to seriously undermine good health-care coverage for literally tens of millions of middle-class workers,” fumed Bob Master, legislative and political director for Communication Workers of America’s Northeast chapter.
...
“On the political side, I can tell you -- and this is not a threat -- that union members and middle-class voters whose taxes go up because of their health care, or whose health care gets cut, are not going to turn out for Democrats in hotly contested elections...”

To all those labor leaders who built their careers on boosting the Democrats while fulminating against “the rich”:  So taxing Cadillacs isn’t such a great idea when it turns out that your Cadillac is the one that gets taxed?

Any guesses?

Washington Examiner:

Only a fourth of all Americans approve of the direction Obama and Congress are taking the country, according to a Gallup survey.

And I wonder how many of that “fourth” pay any taxes. (via: IP)
