Obamacare’s medical device tax—a tax not on profits remember, but on revenues—is doing its destructive work already. The Wall Street Journa lreported that “Funding Dries Up for Medical Startups,” noting that “Investment in the medical-device and equipment industry is on pace to fall to $2.14 billion this year, down more than 40% from 2007 and the sharpest drop among the top five industry recipients of venture funding.” Tax something and you get less of it. Especially when you tax it like Obamacare, where the tax significantly reduces the after-tax return to investors.

The big myth of false equivalency. I sometimes ask people: "name one large issue in the last century where the liberals were on the wrong side and the conservatives on the right side.
