And Robert's got it right.
But, he may have caused more trouble for the right than the left side of the aisle. How so? It puts the right up against all their pledges to Norquist of no new taxes. Also, no increases in the deficit without reductions else where in the budget.
The conundrum for the right is how now to de-fund something inside the budget or wage war against the SCOTUS approved law.
Well done Chief Justice. Well done.
Dammed if they did. Dammed if they didn't. Dammed if they don't.
Now the tea party can pull out all the stops and completely give the right wing what it needs, a shot at ending "the socialism" of the New Deal. Go ahead give it a try. Bring that european austerity home and tank the market as your friends have tanked main street. Just give it a shove.
The problem is no so much the concern for the politics of the right, the concern is of who has played the left for fools?
It is a tax. Just say it. It is a tax. Was it that hard?
The left has raised a tax to begin the process of health insurance coverage for the everybody. Yes, they did.
