Why do 78% of voters believe Obamacare will hike taxes for the middle class?

[Senor Magoo]

Seventy eight percent of likely voters. Voters.

Ignorance cannot be explained.

An economics professor at a local college made a statement

that he had never failed a single student before,
but had once failed an entire class.

That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked

and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, "OK,
we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".

All grades would be averaged and everyone would

receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering,
blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.

Because he has yet to define how it will be paid. Unless he is just going to print money he will have to raise taxes. It's common sense.

[kadiss17]

Because we aren't retards.

It seems people are finally seeking information to back up what Obama says. If only they would have done that before they voted.

[expertgal]

Mainly, because it WILL

Most Americans also want a public option despite a possible increase in taxes. Why don't the Right get that?

[Tom]

It could be because they do not know what they are talking about.

Do YOU have a clue what Obamacare is?

I thought not.
