Get everyone in on hostage game

I can understand why tea-party Republicans in Congress don’t care for the Affordable Care Act, (Obamacare) as the duly enacted law is one of the pieces of legislation passed by a president they despise and will do anything to discredit. After all, he was elected twice by our democratic process, and they haven’t been able to repeal the law though honest means. So, while we’re tying funding the U.S. Government to the repeal of this law, I propose we should include other laws that I don’t like. For starters, let’s raise the cap on the Social Security Tax to say, $250,000 and how about changing the corporate tax law so we tax all money sent to overseas tax havens to say 15 percent. Why not have both parties play the “Hold Government Hostage” Game?
