Rush Limbaugh's Morning Update: Sacrifice

Rush Limbaugh: The latest headache for Barack Obama and Dingy Harry is the pushback from Big Union. These people are upset over the plan to tax these so-called Cadillac health plans to finance the Democrats' massive health care takeover.

After a Monday night White House sit-down, AFL-CIO head Richard Trumka issued a threat to the light-skinned President Obama (and Senate Democrats as well), using non-Negro dialect. Trumka said Democrats risk catastrophic defeats similar to 1994 if they don't design a health care bill that Big Labor likes. In other words, "Kill the taxes on unions' health care plans -- or the unions will kill you." Politically speaking, of course.

Another union boss, Harold Schaitberger, head of the International Association of Firefighters, also registered his opposition (using non-Negro dialect) saying: "The president's support for the excise tax is a huge disappointment and it cannot be ignored. If (light-skinned) President Obama continues to support it and signs a bill that includes the excise tax on workers, we will hold him accountable."

Big Union argues that their health care plans should not be taxed; the so-called rich oughta be taxed instead -- even more than they already are -- to pay for the health care takeover. But I got news for you union guys: you are the "rich!" Your health care plans are "richer" than those of most Americans.

So how does it feel? How come all of a sudden, you big-time Big Union rich Democrats aren't willing to "sacrifice" on behalf of the poor? Where's your compassion, guys? And tell us how it feels to be rich. Hmmm?
