Oh the Irony!

During the Obama campaign, many ads suggested that McCain was proposing taxing the health care benefits that you receive from your employer (and conveniently left out the fact that he proposed that EVERYONE would get a tax benefit to buy insurance, actually equalizing employer-received benefits with individually purchased)... but never mind the facts.

Fast forward months later: the Democrats are proposing taxing employer-sponsored healthcare (with of course no credit for anybody... because, as Democrats know, the government can manage your money better and choose your health care plans better than you or your employer).

The really CORRUPT proposal: Unions wouldn't have their health benefits taxed in the same way.

Handing a benefit to the union doesn't even help union members; it just keeps corrupt union leaders in power. With all of the money the union donated to some of these campaigns, how can they legally be allowed to accept a favor like that? Will any voters be listening? Will they call their congressman?
