Let me make sure I understand how this Obama health care thing affects me... I'm an owner of a small union contracting business. I already pay the union for my employee's health coverage, and - in addition, I pay for my own plan (not as good) separately. Now with Obama's plan I will not only pay for my employees, but I will also be taxed to pay for other's health care. After paying all of this extra money, my employees and I get the privilege of waiting in longer lines for our medical problems, as we will have to compete with the 46 million people that will be thrust into the same system. On top of the additional health care burden that I will have, I will be asked to contribute more to the California Calpers retirement and the teachers union retirement as they are going broke. In addition to my contributions to the union retirement for my employees and contributions to my own retirement (meager by most standards), I will be taxed more to support these failed retirement plans. I'm beginning to feel like a small donkey pulling a large group of spoiled kids through a theme park!!!  ... But who cares? I'm just a "rich" white guy!!! FYI - I was born in a poor Irish family... now I'm a rich white guy!!!
