As much as the Democrats love the class warfare stuff, Americans do not live in a class system. You are not stuck in the socio-economic class of your parents. We not only aspire to prosper, the story of America is that we can succeed. We are also driven by an acute sense of fair play. So whether you are in the +50% tax bracket or not, there is something about the government's taking more of people's money than they are allowed to keep that rubs people the wrong way. By the time of the 2010 elections all that rubbing may make things electorally raw for these thieving politicians.

I've come to my own conclusion that it's impossible for this administration to come up with a decent health care plan anyway. They'll just end up replacing one bad system with another bad system and confuse the heck out of everyone in the process.
