Now we all know, its a TAX and he lied. The lies continue.

But I have the choice to drive or not to drive. This means that if I'm to live as an American citizen then I must have insurance. That is completely unconstitutional. And if I choose not to buy into it then I will be taxed close to $700, add to that the 1.76 TRILLION DOLLARS, money we don't have, that we the tax payers will pay. As for any business with more than 50 employees, if they choose not to offer Health Insurance they will be fined 2000 per person. This will destroy small business.

Why is 2% gone from my paycheck? At least Obama could have done was keep this pay tax cut to the middle class.

We are not going to have other people carrying the burden for you? Isn't that the entire premise for Obama care? We are paying for those that do not have insurance...someone is carrying that burden. Pot and kettle there folks.

If we remit 100% of all we own to the government, it will still spend more than its receipts. The national debt must be expunged, repudiated, but first, people will have to be so tired of tax increases, that over 10 million of them stop paying, and see what comes next.

How do you explain the 100's of thousands of Canadians that have come over to the U.S. for urgent medical care and surgeries in the past couple of decades, hmm, I would guess that would make them dumb or would that make them smart? Canada has the same healthcare as the United Kingdom and the same one Obama signed into law.

You are being racist yourself. Herman Cain, Allen West, and Allen Keyes would make a much better and more informed president than Barack "Eye Candy" Oblama.

[Kyle Moore]

Agreed. dude.

1:03 - He should have said that to the banks, the auto industry, and everyone else the government bailed out with MY tax dollars.
