Haven’t seen it better explained than this:
To say that antipoverty programs in the United States are perverted may be an understatement. When you take into account the loss of means-tested benefits (e.g., cash assistance, food stamps, housing subsidies, and health insurance), and the taxes that people pay on earned income, the return to working is essentially zero for those in the lower two quintiles of the income distribution.
For many of the working poor, the implicit marginal tax rate is greater than 100 percent. The long-run consequence of undermining the positive incentive to work is, of course, the creation of an underclass acclimated to not working; the supplement of cash and noncash benefits with income from crime and the underground economy; and the government resorting to negative incentives such as mandatory work programs.
And ObamaCare is perfectly designed to bring the 3rd quintile in to this system. Not by entirely destroying our incentive to work (that was necessary to create a poor, dependent underclass), but by taking so much of our money that we can’t live without government subsidies. By the time Obama and his Democrats are done, those of us in the middle class who work will be taxed at rate which makes it impossible for us to give up the government benefits – we’ll be mortgaged to the liberal super-State. And, my friends, that is precisely what they want.
Our liberals are tired of dealing with us – they hate the fact that we are clinging to God, guns and the Founder’s vision of the United States. All we’re doing is getting in the way – they are astounded that they still have to argue over such entirely settled (in liberal minds) issues such as global warming, gay marriage and federally funded abortion on demand. To them, such things are the mere basics of a normal society, as liberals define it. And so they press hard for ObamaCare…because that is the lynchpin of making us dependent with increasing dependence generation after generation until we’re entirely servile, as a majority of the European population is.
This is the crucial time – this is the crucial battle. We win this, and we’ll restore the America our Founders intended and our grandfathers lived in. Lose this, and our nation will be as set on a course to death as the European nations are today.
