vote these people out of our lives

SNIP:
That didn’t take long.
After the Supreme Court confirmed yesterday that Obamacare is really just a ‘big f***ing tax’ the Obama Truth Team is already backing away from the ruling. Yesterday it was a tax. Today’s it’s not.


Friend –

I’d love to take a moment to savor yesterday’s Supreme Court decision, but we don’t have time.

Already, Mitt Romney and Republicans are out with outright falsehoods about Obamacare — their favorite distortion being that this is somehow a broad tax on the middle class. In reality, this is all about personal responsibility — and the “tax” they are trying to scare everyone about is actually a penalty for the 1 percent of people who can afford insurance but still choose not to buy it, leaving the rest of us to pay for their health care when they head to the emergency room.

Just like they did when the bill was before Congress, Republicans are playing fast and loose with the truth, making up scary consequences to keep you from knowing all the good things Obamacare does. They’re not telling the truth about what this reform means for millions of middle-class Americans, so I need you to help get the facts out there.

It's 22 fucking taxes and they're all hung around obama's neck, he has screwed the middle class.

Hey Staph and all of you idiots supporting the presently failed health care system in the US.

I, and at least half the rest of the voting Americans, do not care what you call it. I would like to see a system here where over 750,000 American families a year are not going to be bankrupted by an illness or an accident. I would like to see our health stastics equal to other industrial nations, instead of being similiar to third world nations.

Tax? Penalty? Who cares. Fix a failing system before it crashes completely. It is not like we don't have working models in other nations that are far more successful than what we have at present.

It's a giantic tax increas on the middle class. Who cares? The middle class. That's who

It's a tax. The SC said so.

Lol...do you even know what the SC said? lulz....

Under the commerce clause, the "punishment" for being able to afford health insurance but not buying into it would have been a penalty. What the SC said was the under the commerce clause it would be unconstitional for the federal gov't to charge a penalty. However, under the taxing clause for congress, this would be perfectly fine and thats what they went with.

What went down: the individual mandate's penalty was changed to 2.5% of your total taxable income for people who can afford, but choose not to buy health insurance
Note: The 2.5% won't be phased fully til 2016. For 2014, if a person ends up having to pay the penatly they will only pay $95, or 1% of their taxable income (whichever is highest)

YOUR TAX RATE REMAINS UNCHANGED
Minus the loss of a few, older tax-deductions

How do you like that one folks, YOUR GOVERMENT is now PUNISHING you for not doing what they want to FORCE you do..

wake up

Ain't democrats fine? They were pro choice before they were FORCE.

Fine for who?

MORON...

What is a FINE but a TAX?

SHITHEAD.

No No No a fine would imply you are compelled to buy something the supreme ruled against that and went with a tax.

Anything regardless of what it is called that takes your property is a TAX.

Liberal projection.

LOL

Not at all. I am deadly serious...

The one thing that separates the US neocon, whackjob, loon, moron from normal and left leaning Americans and all other Western nations (yes, you are THAT marginalised) is that you are the most self-centred, selfish, egocentric group of people on the planet. I really wish you'd just go live on an island. All you care about is you, you, you. Me, me, me.

"As long as MY needs are met. As long as it doesn't affect ME. As long as I have MY freedom"...and on it goes ad nauseum...

Dude. You are projecting. All you want is free stuff and your Obamaphone.

America conservatives are the most generous people on earth.

Liberals are only generous with the other guy's money.

It's almost as if you intentionally say things that are the opposite of reality.

The funny thing is. All the idiots crying about this being an increase in taxes on the middle class but not one can give a specific example. Don't question it...just trust your masters at Fox news.

It's a tax. The SC said so.

i don't know... it was a penalty when romney enacted it.



but i'm guessing you haven't read the decision, so of course you should repeat what the rightwingnut blogosphere says.

congrats for supporting the wackos, though.

reality: it is the job of the supreme court to uphold legislation on any possible constitutional basis.

i thought you hated activist judges. you really should complain to scalia about that whole activist thing.

You don't know???? You haven't heard the Supreme Court ruling???? The penalty was unconstitutional and it is a TAX.

Try as hard as you can, it is now in black and white. No spin is fast enough to get around that.

as for Fox, YAWN yawn yawn

B-b-b-b-but old rocks, you have forgotten the conservative mantra! it's all about me, me, me. Mine, mine, mine...

There is a reason conservatives are selfish fuckers..dontcha know...

Here's your pathetic, blood sucking, good for nothing, miserably failed where ever it's been instituted SOCIALISM...

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little..
The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. It could not be any simpler than that.

Time and time again it has been shown that Republicans give more to charity than Democrats, but when it comes down to buying votes, they are willing to spend the tax payers money before their own.

No it hasn't.

Why don't you tell me specifically how much YOUR taxes will go up because of this. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Still don't understand what the word Socialism is I see. Thanks for adding your 2 cents which has nothing to do with the topic. Golly you is smarts.

Yeah.... more equivocation. The spin masters can't seem to help themselves, on either side.

The truth of the matter is this is a large tax increase (and will get larger and larger as the years progress) scapegoating a targeted minority - people tired of getting fucked over by insurance companies.

It's been proven that liberals are 87.2% more charitable than conservatives.

That is a great teacher.

 

[copsnrobbers]

It's a tax. The SC said so.

The bill is unpopular now as it was then. 73% of Americans do not want it.

Think about how it was passed.. Typical foot stomping Liberals at there best.. That really is bad.

Fuck em... Roberts stuck it up there asses. Most liberals are to fucking stupid to see it.
