Ed Feulner of Heritage Foundation draws a useful historical parallel between the Intolerable Acts of Parliament and the passage of Obamacare here.
Too bad that Americans didn’t rebel at the earlier welfare state advances: Social Security, Medicare and many others. The nanny statists were more careful with those, with immediate benefits for a few and widespread costs over most of the population. Few people saw the trap of government dependence they were happily walking into. But now, a lot of people see the looming disaster, which will hurt many people right away in exchange for the egalitarian dream of health insurance for everyone.
The rebellion is on.
