Obama Open to Taxing Health Benefits

President Barack Obama is leaving the door open to taxing health care benefits, something he campaigned hard against while running for president, according to senators who met with him Tuesday.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., raised the issue with Obama during a private meeting with the president and other Democratic senators and later reported the president's position: "It's on the table. It's an option." - ABC News Story

Imagine that. More taxes. You didn't think that Obama could really spend and spend and spend without raising taxes, adding new taxes, and putting together more fees and ideas to make money?
