A Democrat crows over tricking the “stupid” American voter 98
… to get the perfectly horrible health care law passed.
For the Left, the end always justifies the means.
See how smug Jonathan Gruber, architect of Obamacare, looks as he shares his joke about the “stupidity” of the American voter.
Here’s what he says, so you can mull it over:
This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. So it was written to do that. In terms of risk related subsidies, if you had a law which made explicit that healthy people pay in and sick people get money it would not have passed. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to get the thing to pass.
Daniel Greenfield comments at Front Page:
So an Obamacare architect just admitted that the whole thing was built on a tower of lies and that it is indeed a tax.
As the Supreme Court ruled it is.
The passing of the Obamacare law was also a great leap forward on the road to serfdom.
It needs to be repealed.
