#1 the effective, implicit tax rate for worker between 100 and 200 percent of the federal poverty line would quickly approach 70 percent -- not even counting food stamps and housing vouchers.

A boon underground cash economy. It's not like the Feds will miss the tax revenue or anything.

#3 The more Obamacare is rushed through Congress, the more likely it is to produce highly regrettable unintended consequences.

Not unintended. Not at all. I think that the Administration and Congress know full well what the consequences are. And to them its a feature not a bug.

The more people are dependent on the Government the better for the DNC.
