Message: <blockquote data-quote="ez bake" data-source="post: 2055085" data-attributes="member: 229">They've pissed off plenty of people with the Healthcare plan, but a lot of folks have yet to realize it - once they get hit with the higher taxes, they'll be pissed (this is one of the reasons I was actually glad Romney didn't get elected - now Obama and the Dems get to reap what they sewed by being in power when all of these taxes hit).I'm just saying - Healthcare may have been pretty close to a 50/50 split in the country, but it pissed off a lot of folks.  Add to that gun-control (even with the frenzy of the media doing all they can to skirt the facts - now more than ever, we have solid proof that what they're saying is absolutely not true and it's actually garnering pity for the poor beat-up pro-2nd crowd - we can use that).None of that is nearly as powerful as hiking taxes on a middle-class working family who happens to be middle-of-the-road but voting democrat (I know plenty of folks like that).  You want to make a voter change his mind - hit him/her in the pocket-book.A lot of younger aspiring-to-be-career politicians who happen to hail from swing-states can see that - if they don't mind their P's and Q's, they'll be dealing with pissed-off voters who are out for blood.  If it's one thing even Dems know how to do, it's watch out for their own best interests.It will get worse, but I predict it will cause a massive swing (and then it will possibly get even worse under republicans - keep in mind how many republicans were for the NDAA and are more for corporations' rights over citizens - they're politicians too and lobbyists are powerful as balls right now).</blockquote>
