The Obamacare Brownies

Have you ever heard the story of the father who made his kids "special" brownies? It goes like this, a man's children wanted to go to a move that was rated R because it had profanity in it. The father objected, but the kids pleaded, "Dad, it only has a little profanity in it, so that shouldn't matter much." So the father acquiesced. When the kids got home, their father had made them a beautiful plate of brownies, and they dug right in. After a few bites they stopped. The brownies were awful. "Dad, these brownies taste like they have dog poop in them." The father smiled proudly, "They do. But it's only a little dog poop, so it shouldn't matter much."

This is how I look at Obamacare. Just because it has chocolate chips and colorful sprinkles on top (pre-existing conditions, etc.), doesn't mean that at it's core there is dog poop in the bill (government control of the industry, etc.) ... lots and lots of dog poop. And you're being forced to either eat them or pay a tax for not eating them, not to mention there are taxes on lots of the ingredients like sugar and flour and eggs.

Do you want to eat those brownies?
