Irony...

I find it ironic that the Obamacare reforms passed the House on the 245th anniversary of the passage of the Stamp Act in 1765.

Parliament forces a legislative process to reduce their debt by taxing a targeted, specific group of subjects whose concerns and worries were not given adequate consideration prior to passage on the 22nd of March, 1765... which directly contributes to the feelings of distrust and animosity between America and Westminister that would finally lead to armed confrontation just ten short years later.

Pelosi and Obama completely ignore promises of transparency and honesty in government by spending 24 hours making secret deals with wavering Democrats to pass legislation that had almost no GOP or conservative input in its making, knowing that it would constitute both a doubling of the national debt and usher in a new era of high top-end tax rates and a reduction in consumer confidence in the process. Targeting individuals making more than $200k and families making more than $250k, this will constitute a 5.8% tax hike to more than 78% of all small business owners in the country, and will force millions of people out of their established insurance policies and into a government-provided option (even if it isn't a government plan... yet).

Let's see what ten years brings...
