No Taxes, Please, We're Democrats | Michael D. Tanner | Cato Institute: Commentary: "Under an agreement negotiated by the Obama administration, congressional leaders, and union bosses behind closed doors, their policies will be exempt from the tax until 2018. Plans for state and local employees would also be exempted.

That's right: if you have two workers doing identical jobs, earning the same wages, and receiving the same insurance plan, the one who doesn't join the union gets hit with a 40% tax; the union worker doesn't."
