That has been a trial baloon floating around two years now.  Taxing 
medical benefits has a lot of support in washington.   Including the 
Heritage Foundation and Republicans as well as Dems.   And when this was 
passing around you didn't hear Bush protesting about it.  Everybody is in 
on this one.  $4 trillion dollar debts do this to politicians.  You don't 
think they are going to get that kind of money from leperachauns did you?
Get ready to pay the Bills Reagan and Bush ran up.
