That our population is full of such people is part of the reason we are in this bad spot... These people VOTE. The same sort that would approve of an 'inheritance tax' but disapprove of a 'death tax', when of course they refer to the same damn thing.

IN his lead in, he repeats what other MSM outlets have, 'when people hear some of the features of ACA, they like them.'

I've little doubt these are 'features' such as: portability, coverage for pre-existing conditions, etc., all the problems that folks agreed needed to be addressed 30 + years ago. They are not bringing up 'must purchase,' IRS, medical records direct to gov't, etc.

Not exactly, an inheritance tax is paid by the heir where a death tax/estate tax is paid by the estate. Although they could be equally atrocious.
