Subject: Taxing Health Benefits

Comment: Gee maybe if we tax health insurance benefits, Texas can have half of its citizens try to live without health insurance. If we want to be compassionate to the working poor, maybe we should just line them up and shoot them rather than letting them die slowly of preventable illness. This way we could also help conserve the wealth of those at the top of the income ladder. This is the essence of compassionate conservatism.
