As soon as I see "Obamacare" they've lost me. Same as when I used to see BushCo. or any other informal (biased) naming conventions. Seems like an informative piece but why bias it with senseless political jargon?
I don't think this is a parallel to "Bush Derangement Syndrome". It seems to me like "ObamaCare" has actually entered the vernacular, used across the political spectrum as a shorthand for "the healthcare reform package enacted in 2010 under the leadership of Pres. Obama".
My thoughts exactly. If you can't write something without using 'liberal' and 'conservative' as dirty words, you lose my attention.
The 'about' page shows that they're heavily partisan, no shocker there.
Back in reality, the nearest I can see from the tax code is that a large number of previous cuts made during the Bush administration will expire as planned, and that most of these will apply only to the highest income bracket.
It was the fact that it's written by Grover "Drown the Government in the Bathtub" Norquist which led me to stop taking it seriously. That guy has no commitment to the truth, so I would need to fact check every assertion he's making.
If anyone has corroborated his claims using non-wingnut sources, I would be interested to read about it. Until then, I'm taking this with a huge grain of salt.
No, it was written by Ryan Ellis, charliepark's tax preparer (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1490945). And it's not like these have been secrets, although it's taken a while to work through the implications of ObamaCare, excuse me, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ObamaCare).
