Obamacare and 21 Tax Increases

Obamacare and 21 Tax Increases
Letter to the Editor

Time to get ready for the November election. Think about this and share it with your friends.

Subject: Obamcare and 21 tax increases, half of which impact middle-class folks

At times we must look in our rear-view mirrors. Remember that costly statement in 1989? "Read my lips: no new taxes," Bush 41.

Fast forward to 9-20-09. President Obama re Obamacare when he told George S his healthcare plan is "absolutely not a tax." May Obama have the same fate as George H.W. Bush 41. Beyond the outright false statements in the Legislation, NFIB small businesses, the backbone of our job creation, will take a hard look at costs before adding new employees.

  • Justice Roberts has just busted Campaign 2012 wide open.
  • The high court’s ruling leaves in place 21 tax increases costing nearly $700 billion. Of those taxes, 12 would affect families earning less than $250,000 per year.

Now that Obamacare’s penalty is a “tax,” not a “fee,”

  • Mr. Obama is breaking a 2008 campaign pledge not to raise taxes on Americans earning less than $250,000. This new “tax” will hit across the economic spectrum, despite his campaign declaration that healthcare should “never be purchased with tax increase on middle-class families.”
  • Now, Mr. Obama and congressional Democrats have enacted the largest tax increase in history.

June 2012...four months to go to oust Barry and the Bums.
