Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - 41st Republican: What does it mean to Healthcare and Obama?

This is incremental. At least I hope. There is a lot more that needs to be done to improve the health care system for all, lower costs, and make all Americans healthier.

I don't imagine that this will change much (if it was the 51st senator, then I would be more worried.) Look what Bush was able to get done without 60 (R) senators. It does give the Democrats a wake-up call that their old enemy of the Religious Right has transformed in the the Uncompassionate Selfish Anti-government(Pro Corporation) Right and they have one year to fix things.

I hope that Obama moved further to the left. It doesn't matter to the right wing news, they are calling him a socialist anyway, he might as well make his base happy. I would start by implementing a 50% capital gains tax on short term gains (less than 6 months). And bring back the estate tax.
