Watch your wallets. Most adults know that when they start talking about taxing the wealthy to pay for health care reform, they invariably end up coming after you. There are several other taxes being considered listed in the article, as well. And that trigger mentioned in the third excerpted graph below is nothing more than a Trojan Horse. They'll pull the trigger as soon as no one is looking. Why not? They're already preparing to shoot us in the back with higher taxes. That's what Democrats have always done and will continue to do. And as the ad states, they have Total Control.
Much of the revenue burden could fall on a privileged few. The House Ways and Means Committee is close to completing legislation expected to include a surtax of up to 3 percent on households with incomes that exceed $250,000, pushing the top rate over 40 percent, assuming President George W. Bush's 2001 tax cuts are allowed to expire next year as scheduled.
The Senate Finance Committee is weighing a "millionaires' tax," a surcharge on health benefits for top earners and a Medicare tax on capital-gains income. And still on the table is Obama's proposal to limit deductions for wealthy taxpayers.
But the more conservative Senate Finance Committee appears to be settling on a membership-based, cooperative model. Some senior Democrats say the finance and health committee bills could be blended to create a national co-op with a fallback option that triggers the formation of a public plan if private insurers do not offer adequate coverage alternatives.
Amazing, the Palin threads get spooled up with trolls and defenses and an important post about taxes gets Bupkis comments. Well I guess we know what the commentariat consider important HUH !
Any one wonder why the Dems are getting away with this sh_t. This pretty much explains it.
