Romneycare: You Mean It's Not Free?

Been following Massachusetts politics for some time now. Wow, I thought Quebec was bad, but Massachusetts has got to be a rival. Move over Bruins-Canadiens, there's a new rivalry in town!

Deval Patrick has governed over some of the most outrageous characters in his government from Dookhan to that chick who was a big shot in the transportation department only to be a reckless driver herself.

Now the people of the Commonwealth will start to see the true cost of Romneycare. Is this a harbinger of things to come with Obamacare?

Then there's the whole tax issue.

WSJ:

"...To help this bad medicine go down, Mr. Patrick would lower the state sales tax to 4.5% from 6.25%. He says the sales levy "is widely regarded to be the most regressive tax that states impose," which is funny given that Mr. Patrick is the same guy who raised the rate to 6.25% from 5% in 2009. Then he said raising the rate was essential to pay state bills and wouldn't hurt the economy. Now he says it's regressive and must be cut...."

I'll let you sit on that. It truly is a magical mystery ride trying to get inside the mind of the liberal elite on Beacon Hill.

Anyway. The above paragraph made me think of the character Mr. Darling in Barrie's novel Peter Pan. Darling was a "deep one" who knew stocks. "Of course no one really knows, but he quite seemed to know, and he often said stocks were up and shares were down in a way that would have made any woman respect him."

And so it is with politicians. Obama, or any politician for that matter, is Mr. Darling. They know how to make the irrational sound so rational.

All this and he, Patrick, apparently wants to give free college tuition to illegal immigrants.

Once again from the top: Taxes are INEFFICIENT.

The Romans said, "the more numerous the laws, the more corrupt a society." The same can be said with taxes. The MORE taxes and laws you have, the more likely, when people get off their bloody asses, corruption is present.
