They're voting you down, at least in part, because you're personalizing and over-simplifying the debate. Had you said:

"This is bad for the current health care proposals that are working their way though congress, because they tend to rely on taxes on upper-income citizens"

you would have communicated the same point, and sounded much less like a troll.

Is that true though?

I know that Obama said it.

But I have not heard that said about the proposals.

It could be, but I have not heard that, so I can't say it.

But, thanks for at least letting me know what was wrong with the tone of my post.

Yes, Obama is a person, but he's a very relevant in this discussion. That relevance means that he rates a mention whether he's a person or a breadbox.
