This is what dictators do. At first what they do just affects others. Maybe someone you don't like so his dictatorship is acceptable. As the power grows it starts affecting more and more people. Once the dictator's lies are believed, he lies more and more with the lies becoming more unbelievable. Everyone knew that the tax lie was a whopper. There was no way the tax grab wouldn't eventually get everyone.

Now that the flu epidemic has sufficiently frightened everyone, the government has proposed the flu shot tax. Even if you get the flu shot free because you are too poor to pay for it, the tax will still be applicable. All they needed was another crisis, another big scare.

You ain't seen nothin yet.

Folks who have HC are going to pay up the ass to support, via tax subsidies, those that can't pay for their HC.

Folks who have HC will be paying the millions in long term care for cancer and every other long term care illness out there.

Yep. Ya better hang onto your hats folks. Its all headed our way.

Courtesey of the Democratic party of America.

No, no, no, no...

What you describe is our current SOCIALIST system, put in place by your hero, Ronnie RayGun.

EMTALA forces us to pay for YOUR free care as well as the FREE care for illegals who have their kids and their abortions in the ER.

OTOH, ObamaCare will not pay for YOUR free care at the ER. Nor does it allow illegals to buy their insurance at the lower rate we get.

and, that's the same lower rate that YOU have have been paying for your Do Nothing Repubs to get.

PUH-lese EDUCATE yourself. Start by Google-ing EMTALA. And, there's a FACTUAL link concerning the ACA in my sig.

Even if you choose not to EDUCATE yourself, please stop saying STOOOPID crap like this post.

I read a great quote the other day - can't remember where, or I would include an attribution.

It involved the AMT and the Obama Approved Cliff Deal roll back of deductions for people making $200K/$250K per year. Those two things are a double whammy tax increase on the middle class.

In essence, the people most hit are those who have children and high state and property taxes.

Only in the Big Government Universe would Children and Paying High State Taxes be consider Tax Dodges that need to be wiped out by an AMT.

Read my lips ... it was King Bush the Elder who said that.

They'll remain in denial until their dying days. It's a religion.

Braces for the Kids Just Got More Expensive: Obamacare Tax Hike Case Study

Average people are going to find out what exactly they have voted for.


I freaking love it!

Americans for Tax Reform : Braces for the Kids Just Got More Expensive: Obamacare Tax Hike Case Study

Most of the money you pay for braces does not go to the manufacturer but to the orthodontist. The 2.3% tax is applied to the manufacture's cost. So if the orthodontist chooses to pass this cost on to the customer, it will be about 1%. The orthodontics my granddaughter goes to is not raising his prices.

If you can afford braces, you aren't paying your fair share to the government. This must change!

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The Obamabots are always saying we should be more like Europe. I guess now future generations of Americans will look like the British.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Braces are virtually never a medical need, but a cosmetic one.

Yeah, not really a need, as long as you don't mind people trying to toss sugar cubes in your mouth as they're walking by.

Can you acknowledge that?

I really doubt it.

Luddly? Can you acknowledge that? And likewise, daveman, can you acknowledge that Bush lied to us?

You're neglecting the "death of a thousand taxes" and their compounding impact. Obama also reduced the health flex spending amount from $5K to $2.5K - so that family that used to be able to use pre-tax dollars to pay for orthodontia is now likely using post tax.

And considering that wages are not keeping up with inflation, any increase comes out of shrinking real income.

Flex spending accounts are just the kind of nonsense that needs to go away altogether. Which is not to say that fiddling with the numbers will do any good. We need to end that practice of using tax incentives to manipulate behavior.
