People: Taxing healthcare benefits IS a mandate!
Can't Americans see that? Since when is taxing a benefit as earned income NOT a mandate?

In my previous job before the company I have was started, I had a company car. Reagan changed the tax law and my car was taxed as earned income. McCain will do the same thing with health care benefits that are employer provided. Net earnings will drop.

And seniors. McCain will slash social security and medicare. He said as much tonight. He scares me to death. The economy is bad enough to be facing at my age, I am shaking at the thought of him being in charge at this time in my life.

2. Yup, it is a tool to force people out of employer based insurance programs and into privately
owned insurance policies.
