WOW! I only have to pay 25% more of my check for healthcare??? WOW what a bargain! Right now I am paying the ungodly rate of 1.2% of my paycheck for my healthcare.

Sweeeeet!

Notice, how nobody is mentioning this little statistic. That's been my question all along, what is it going to do to my taxes, all sorts, not just withholding for social security/medicare, income tax. This gigantic elephant has to be paid for somehow and we all know that "soak the rich and corporations" won't work for very long. That means the middle class will end up paying for it whether openly in withholding from our checks or hidden with surcharges, taxes on "vices", etc., etc.

When the dust from the health care reform and carbon tax settle, you will be looking at a 60-75% tax rate.
