Obama is ok with health benefit tax
On Sunday, June 28th, White House adviser David Axelrod said that the administration wouldn't rule out taxing some employees benefits. Now compare this to Obama's campaign promise where he said, "I pledge that under my plan, no one making less than $250,000 a year will see any type of tax increase," Obama told a crowd in Dover, N.H., last year. "Not income tax, not capital gains taxes, not any kind of tax." It looks like another convenient Obama lie. Since Obama has been in office he has already raised taxes on tobacco products. That tax will affect lower and middle income tax payers dis-proportionally because statistically, they use more tobacco products than higher wage earners.
So once again President Obama is torn between the promises he makes to the American people, and the expensive big government programs that he wants.

This is an example fo a campaign lie that people should have seen coming from miles away. The basic fact of the matter is that taxes will have to be increased, on everyone, or spending will have to go down dramatically. Since we have seen how much this president likes to spend money, the only real option left is to keep raising taxes. If there is one thing true about democrats it is that they will raise taxes on jsut about anyone or anything.

At first I had no problem with the introduction of the public option, but I have recently grown very skeptical. I have worked so hard in my life to secure health benefits for myself. Why should others not have to work just like me to get their benefits? I certainly don't want to pay for their well-being.

I propose not to wait until you get enough amount of money to buy all you need! You should just take the loans or student loan and feel comfortable
