I have not seen this mentioned enough about the State of The Union Address.
A huge theme of Senator Webb's response was that the middle class is being very hurt by the current economy, and steadily losing ground. CEO Pay is skyrocketing, good jobs are being decimated by outsourcing and immigration H1B visas, and the inequality of incomes is steadily increasing.
So what is the (no so great) Great Decider's plan for Health Care? Throwing another anvil of taxes on the despair of middle class workers.
After SIX freaking years of reducing the taxes on wealth, and increaing the taxes on work, his plan taxes the steadily decreasing health insurance benefits of the middle class to give the working poor access to crappy (And insanely profitable for the insurers) private health insurance.
The Democratic Party and its leaders better be all over this and denouncing it or they will hear about it from all of us middle class workers.
