We're not the only ones pissed off right now. remember those TEA Party protests a couple years ago? Well, I think we can expect a resurgence. People are already talking about Fourth of July rallies in major cities. As one commenter on another blog said:
My wife who is about as political as my cat, just contacted the local Tea Party in Cincinnati after the tax increase to see what she can do to help. Way to piss off the sleeping dogs.
And the legal battle may not be entirely over. If this is a tax, how can it be valid
if it originated in the Senate? For that matter, a tax repeal
can't be filibustered in the Senate during reconciliation, so we may have an opening there as well. Or, it can lower the tax for non-compliant persons to zero.
With 51 Republicans in the Senate, there still seems to be a lot of options left open. My head is about to explode right now (hey,
you try making sense of that opinion!), but there's a lot of people looking at this thing right now. Hopefully, this Obama victory will be short-lived.
Onward and upward,
airforce
