Oink. Oink.
Radio advertisements, run this week in Portland and Eugene, Ore., at a cost of $60,000, say: "Senator Ron Wyden would tax the health care benefits we get at work, as if they were income. Taxing health benefits? That doesn't make sense."
The advertisements were bought by the National Education Association, with help from the United Food and Commercial Workers and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
“Oink” is exactly the right word. Can you believe these people?
And Wyden is a Democrat. Obviously the unions want to jerk the party’s leash early in the election cycle.
Let’s see. These are the same people who want to raise everybody else’s taxes to pay for universal coverage. Right?
