The Democratic Party’s wealth redistribution schemes
have become an albatross around their collective necks. Who would’ve thought Obamacare would become
the catalyst for a complete distrust of big government? Here is an excerpt from an article published
by The
New American:
Adding fuel to the increasingly anti-government mindset
evidenced by the American people is another finding from Gallup that caught the
attention of Thomas Edsall, a long-time liberal contributing editor at the New York Times: It’s ObamaCare that completed the
shift. Wrote Edsall:
The erosion of
the belief in health care as a government-protected right is perhaps the most
dramatic reflection of these trends. In 2006, by a margin of more than two to
one, 69-28, those surveyed by Gallup said that the federal government should
guarantee health care coverage for all citizens of the United States.
By late 2014,
however, Gallup found that this percentage had fallen 24 points to 45 percent,
while the percentage of respondents who said health care is not a federal responsibility nearly doubled to 52 percent.
[Emphasis added.]
Once the real
costs of ObamaCare became evident, Americans quickly lost confidence in the
government. Those costs are just beginning to surface, with penalties for those
opting out increasing greatly over the next couple of years, along with
premiums of those forced into buying coverage they otherwise wouldn’t want.
Those increases
won’t be limited, either, to just those buying new coverage. Those with
existing coverage are seeing their premiums increase greatly, removing any
doubt that the costs of ObamaCare, as most other government welfare programs,
would be levied on America’s middle class.
Just wait when the baby boomers begin to
retire in mass. There are going to be a
lot of pissed off people.
