I can’t stand a One-Upper.
You know who I’m talking about.
Those truly annoying people who always say that they had three hookers and a midget at once after you tell them about the night you had three hookers.
Yeah, John Aravosis is one.
President Obama, with a straight face, tells the American people that mandating insurance coverage isn’t a tax increase.
I know. I was laughing my ass off too.
Well, not to be outdone, Aravosis decides that not only is an individual insurance mandate NOT a tax increase: It’s actually a tax cut!
But in any case, if one wants to argue that making someone pay a monthly fee for insurance is a tax increase, then lowering the monthly premiums for the rest of us – which supposedly Obama’s plan is going to do – would be a tax cut for the rest of us. And considering more of us are insured than uninsured, that would mean most of the country would be getting a pretty large tax cut. So there.
I have to admit that I dig his debating style. Though I was really hoping for a “neener” or a “you’re a booger eater”.
I know more one-uppers than you do.
