The Everest Ploy

Ever heard of Kanchenjunga? How about Makalu? Hmmm....Manaslu? Cho Oyu? Nanga Parbat? Shishapangm?

The reason you have likely never heard of these is because of Mt. Everest, the tallest peak in the world.

These other names are ALSO on the list of "tallest peaks", but none are higher than Everest, so they remain fundamentally unknown and ignored.

That's how Liberals handle taxes, folks.

Let's take....oh.....say.....Obamacare, for instance.

To reveal the ACTUAL costs, in terms of tax increases, of this ridiculous healthcare law, the Liberals COULD have just said, "We are increasing taxes on every person in the country by $50,000.00 per year. And that number will be increasing EVERY year."

Now, IF they said this, how many Americans would say, "Hey! That's AWESOME! YES....take an extra $50k from me....then, PLEASE take MORE!!!  I don't need it!"

(Answer: zero.)

And yet,  that's EXACTLY what the Obamacare does.  But wait! How on earth can that be???

After all, Obama and the rest of the Liberals said my taxes are going to DECREASE?! And they said that Obamacare WOULDN'T raise taxes or increase the deficit. They said Obamacare would be revenue-neutral?!?!?

It's ALLLLLLL in the sales pitch, folks. And the more ignorant the buyer, the easier it is to bamboozle them.

Liberals, as they always do, used the Everest Ploy.

Instead of pitching Obamacare as ONE GIANT TAX INCREASE (giant....like Everest), they quietly spread that tax burden around....like lots of little mountains that you've probably never heard of because they aren't as giant as Everest.

Don't believe me?

Get it? Despite what the Liberals claimed, the taxes needed to fund Obamacare will CRUSH the middle class......the EXACT group that Obama PROMISED would see DECREASES in their costs.

And Americans bought it.

And now, even after it's ALREADY proving to be EXACTLY what Conservatives said it would be, some Americans STILL buy it.

Stupid.

EPIC stupid.

Hirota: out.
