Higher sales tax actually hurt the poor way more than the rich. The things that they have to pay for, like food, clothing, etc.. are barely affordable in the first place, and that is the cheapest quality food, clothing, etc. that they can find. The rich don't have to worry about that at all.
It's strange how Obama wanted Obamacare (which is actually rather fishy-smelling but that's for another discussion), but then wants a federal tax of $10 per barrel of gasoline. This just hurts the poor as they can barely afford the gas to drive to work.
My guess is Dave's wife is eligible for disability income and Medicaid, she's one of the people the safety nets are in place for. No one objects to safety nets for the very old, very young, and disabled.
What we object to is guys like Apoppin that could work at normal jobs to get health insurance but choose to make the rest of society fund their self employment benefit package.
Obamacare is no different than me taking a job for half what I make now and expecting society to make up the difference. People need money to live on- why shouldn't I be able to pick what I do and make the same money!??
