Al, > You didn't answer the question...what CRUSHING TAXES have they added Ten? Answer question.

Maybe you didn't notice that AT&T and Caterpillar both announced increased costs as a direct result of the health care bill.

Obama calls it a "closing of a tax loophole," but the effect on the bottom line is the same. Profitable companies will be less profitable, while companies on the brink will end up getting slaughtered by the increase in costs. They don't get a break just because they're in the red.

By the way, AT&T is also considering cutting benefits to employees and retirees thanks to ObamaCare. The reason is similar to the reason why health care premiums are going up. ObamaCare imposes new taxes and new regulations that will increase the costs of employers providing health care to their workers.

But of course, Obama can count on you to just blame the insurance companies again. I know because your responses are typical of a person with a completely closed mind.
