    I have to say that I secretly love the "Cadillac Tax" backed by the current Obama regime. In fact I think all conservatives should feel the same way. Why?

Of course the scary thing is that it is also one of the best examples of how this current regime has absolutely no regard for the will of the people. So What is the Cadillac Tax Anyway? For those of you that aren't familiar with the Cadillac tax here's what it is (other than just another shameful grab for your wallet to try and make this bill have a "zero deficit impact"). The latest deal, after the unions used their clout, is that there is a 40% federal excise tax on health insurance premiums exceeding $8,900 for individuals or $24,000 for families.

Dental and vision are excluded and the thresholds are higher for high cost states (read democratic strongholds like California and New York) along with high cost professions. Big Deal, My Employer Pays It. Not Me Right? Well it…
