Same Old “Tax the Rich” Song and Dance

It took the Democrats all this time to tell us how they were going to pay for their impending universal health care disaster, and what do they say?  “Tax the Rich”.

Most of their proposals start this way.  Heck, the income tax started this way, but look where it is now.  It’s the same old song and dance they use when they’re trying to sell a new program, and it’s not going to work any differently than it did the last times they used it.  You will be paying higher taxes eventually.

Oh, you may not pay monetarily at first.  First, payment will come in the form of rationed, substandard health care.  But eventually, it will go over the top, and you’ll be hearing the excuses as to why they have to raise everyone’s taxes.

We have plenty of examples of how single-payer health care will actually work.    There are countries that have done this before.  Study a few of them before you let this pass uncontested.
