Schweikert: The truth about Mitchell's YES vote

ObamaCare - - The Truth About Mitchell's Vote

Harry Mitchell and his liberal cronies in Washington really want you to believe that their healthcare takeover is good for America.

Here is a very informative table from the Heritage Foundation that shows you the higher taxes that you and your family will be paying because of Mitchell’s YES vote.

These taxes apply to everyone regardless of income.
