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.
