Imagine if a Republican...

President wanted to raise taxes but big business's would be exempt. Can you imagine how the media and the Democrats would be attacking said Republican. On how we only care about business's and not the average person. But Obama and the Democrats want to exempt Unions from the health care tax. So why isn't the media attacking Obama for exempting his own special interest groups. But if a Republican did the same they would get attacked for it.

Big Labor got some big love from President Obama and congressional Democrats yesterday after they agreed to exempt union workers from the whopping “Cadillac tax” on high-cost health-care plans until 2018.

The sweetheart deal, hammered out behind closed doors, will save union employees at least $60 billion over the years involved, while others won't be as lucky -- they'll have to cough up almost $90 billion.

The 40 percent excise tax on what have come to be called "Cadillac" health-care plans would exempt collective-bargaining contracts covering government employees and other union members until Jan. 1, 2018.
