Really? REALLY?
60% of Americans don't believe the government can expand health care coverage without raising taxes on the middle class or affecting the quality of care.
What exactly defines the middle class anyway? How do you decide the cutoff where you pay less taxes than the person who earns two dollars more than you.
I hope beyond hope that Obama means what he is promising. The middle to middle-upper class are always placed in that ambiguous but disadvantaged limbo. The best example of this is college tuition: rich enough to not receive financial aid but not so rich that forking over 50 grand a year is a small matter.
"...he said his goals to expand health care and rein in costs would not lead to middle-class tax increases"
"Republicans...call the Democrats' approach an... intrusion in the private sector that would raise taxes for individuals and small businesses and cut benefits to the elderly"
I'm interested in how this will play out. And you should be too.
