14. The fight over this is OVER. PRESIDENT OBAMA WON. I don't side with Eric Cantor. Sorry.

Nov 2012

why would anyone want to find an "acceptable alternative" to a tiny tax on an industry and side with Eric Cantor & the Repubs???.

I thought we were all for taxing the elite.

This industry is part of the ELITE.

(or is it only New York City people who work on Wall Street (which is code words anyhow for an industry that 99% of the people in work 9 to 5 and receive a regular days pay and are nowhere near rich).

One of our own should not be looking to side with Eric Cantor.

This reeks.

Even the US Supreme Court ruled the law is the law and that "Obama care" is the law.
