Senator Lieberman of Connecticut, who less than a year ago was declaring, "I don't think it makes sense to raise any federal taxes during the uncertain economy we are struggling through. The more money we leave in private hands, the quicker our economic recovery will be," now is proposing "that higher-income Americans pay an additional 1 percent of every dollar they earn over $250,000" as a tax to fund Medicare.
The ObamaCare bill that Mr. Lieberman supported on final passage already includes a 3.8% tax on "unearned income" — i.e., dividends, capital gains — on this same group of upper-income earners. The independent Democrat now wants to pile yet more taxes on them to pay for health care?
