Conservative tax panic.

Not sure how I feel about that new tax information, except to say I guess we'll see when we get there.  Doesn't seem too unfair.  I do know there's still a lot we don't know about the Affordable Care Act, and a lot of misinformation.  A conservative I work with was telling me today he was mad that the Dems wanted to shove this down our throat, but of course they won't have to live with it, and will continue getting their premium awesome health care courtesy of the taxpayers.  I had to tell him this was incorrect, as the Affordable Care Act forces Congress persons to choose between a private health care option they can pay for out of their own pocket, or if they still want a government health plan, they will be forced to use the local exchanges just like commoners.

Its not just misinformation, but, deliberate disinformation. It is unfortunate but there are a lot of people who are are veamently opposed the the Health Care Reform Act and are only to willing to lie and misrepresent what the act says in order to defeat it.
