Those who fear, or at least like to say, that Obama is turning us all European got another moment to sound the alarm on Tuesday when House Democrats revealed their solution for covering health-care reform costs: a surtax on individual Americans earning $280,000 up and families making $350,000 up. That’s a “socialist surtax,” says Chris Edwards at Cato. We will pay for health care by “destroying the economy,” writes Veronique de Rugy at National Review.
