Liberals can spin it any way they want, but it is no clear that every American has to pay more to the government regardless of whether they want the product or not.
If rich liberals are so supportive of the mandate tax, then they should just double or triple their donations for the rest of the struggling middle class who have to decide between paying more taxes or gas money.
If its one things Americans hate, its being forced to pay for things that they don't want.
That's why this election will be far more favorable to Romney. Its always better to have a strong anti-Tax, anti-Spending, anti-Deficit platform; than a pro-tax, pro-spending, pro-government platform.
Nothing rallies Americans better than a strong anti-Tax movement.
In 2008, the anti-War movement led to the anti-Spending groups than voted for Obama. They won't be voting for Obama in 2012.
I don't think you realize that the tax only applies to people who don't have insurance. It's not like everyone's going to have to pay.
