The below chart shows the largest single deduction from Taxable Income is the $248 billion in 2013 paid by employers for employees' health insurance.
This is what Obamacare is after and what Gruber said the "stupidity of the American Voter" allowed to happen when ACA was passed.
Obama says that $248 billion is his!
He says if employees weren't provided this tax deduction by their employers that would be an additional $248 billion a year in federal revenue.

And so recognizing the stupidity of the American voter, Obama,Gruber,et.al. are going after this with ACA.
In their elitists' minds they think they can run your health care better.
In 2000, approximately 170.5 million Americans were enrolled in ESI or over 1 out of every 2 Americans.

Obama wants to eliminate this entirely so as the government can keep the $248 billion that is deducted from employers' taxes.
NOTE the operative words here..."Major tax expenditures".
The government says WE AMERICANS have NO control over our own income. It is the government's.
The government ALLOWS these deductions (Expenditures--tax loopholes to the stupid..) and as such
the government isn't getting enough money.
Pure and simple a grab from our pockets.

So for all you idiots that blame big corporations for "HUGE TAX LOOPHOLES"???
Here is the biggest and it benefits YOU idiots that work for employers who have taken these deductions.
Where will you idiots go to get your insurance then? Government exchanges that will give you subsidies.
What an absolute WASTE!
And all because of less then 4 million people.
AND thanks to the "Stupidity of the American Voter"!!!

With not one supporter i.e. people that belong to Gruber's "stupidity of American voter" commenting, is it too complicated to understand?
Obamacare wants to do away with employers' deduction for health insurance premiums. ACA advocates knew if that was known ACA would not pass.
BUT as Gruber said..without the "stupidity of the American voter", ACA would NOT have passed.
Here is the smoking gun folks. Obama wants to do away with employers' paid health insurance that covers 1 out of 2 Americans.
