Reply #48: so does my father- a retired union heavy equipment operator.

the administration is making a HUGH mistake in taxing the 'cadillac plans' of blue-collar union workers.
through the years, the way that the union members achieved the level of care these plans offer them was by foregoing higher wages on their checks when contracts and working agreements were negotiated.
it is going to piss off a LOT of lifelong democrats. my father, a life-long democratic voter said yesterday that if that it's a part of the final bill, he'll NEVER vote for another democrat as long as he lives, and that all of the union guys he knows have said the same thing.

the midterm election results are NOT going to be pretty for our side.
