Big Winners in Obamacare...

Umm, they are by definition not the "lazy asses" referred to. But the problem with just raising the minimum wage is that employees are not magically more productive by whatever percentage raise that they would get. If you want to raise the real wages of those at the bottom of the scale you should raise the demand for their labor or lower the supply of low wage workers. This can be accomplished by instituting growth policies, i.e. tax cuts, and by minimizing illegal immigrants that compete directly with them for jobs. Neither of those are Democrat positions IIRC. What say you?

But what cons refuse to learn is that over 90% of people receiving Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security (Romney's 47%) are elderly, disabled, or working.

You listen to Republican ads and listen to conservative bloggers and all you hear is complaining about less than 10% of the country. Meanwhile, they advocate slashing and thrashing those entitlements, ignoring that north of 90% number.
