Obama wants to tax our health benefits

First he floated the idea of a National Sales Tax. Now he's "open" to the concept of taxing employer-sponsored health benefits. Remember when Obama said his tax plan wouldn't raise your taxes "one dime" if you make less than $250,000 per year?

I said it then, and I'll say it again — he lied.

A national sales tax will come right out of your pocket.

Including the cost of your employer's health plan in your W-2 wages could add more than $2800 to your income tax bill come next April 15^th.

Tell me oh sagacious Obamabots, how is that not "raising your taxes"?

He can't borrow any more money from the Chinese; they're tapped out after lending him the trillions he needed for his Porkulus projects and the bank and UAW bailouts.

So he falls back on the only song liberal Democrats ever really know. Raise taxes. Tax more stuff. Raise taxes again.

Because that plan has worked so well for California and New Jersey. Residents are fleeing those states for lower tax climes. And today Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said he'll move jobs offshore if Obama's tax plans are enacted into law.

Sooner or later President Obama is going to come face to face with Lady Thatcher's famous axiom — "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money."

Then what will he do?
