Democrats Support Low Taxes (For Unions)
Looks like Democrats are finding tax hikes aren't so great when they fall on the backs of primarily Democratic constituents:
More than half of the Democrats in the House have signed on to a letter denouncing a key element of the Senate Finance Committee's health care legislation as labor unions draw a line in the sand on paying for reform.
The Democrats are attacking a plan to finance expanded health care by taxing expensive health insurance plans. The plan, sometimes cast as a tax on "Cadillac" plans, would in fact include the health care plans of many public employees and union members and has triggered a revolt from Obama's labor supporters and their many allies on the Hill.
