ObaMedia: Health Insurance You Earn Is A "Tax Break"

June 11, 2009 | various Obama Media sources

[an amused spectator]

Obama's Big Media mouthpieces are promoting the Dear Leader's latest talking point on Health Care:

"Tax-free" health benefits from employers are actually a "tax break", and as such can be rescinded by The Leader and His Righteous Coven in the Congress.

USA Today's Obama media sock puppet Richard Wolf "reports" in today's online rag:

Lawmakers target health insurance tax break

Congressscum appear to be ready to do a wilding on the health care you earned.

[an amused spectator]

The first talking point is "it's a tax break".

Next comes "it's a tax break for The Rich". Then, "it's a tax break for The Rich, who won't share with poverty-stricken sick children, OR their big-eyed puppies OR their cute, fuzzy kittens".

The Rich are scum!

[DonaldC]

Bet this impacts more than the rich though.

An income or benefit exceeding minimum wage is a “tax break” according to this communist BO!

[an amused spectator]

It'll impact ANYONE who gets health care from their employer, no matter how little they make.

I'm guessing that there will be political exemptions for the unions and for educational people. Got to keep the Party members happy!

I'm just pointing out that Obama's Media will paint it as a benefit for "The Rich". Like any other thing quacking out their lying beaks, it'll be a stone-cold lie.

[a fool in paradise]

Newspaper coupons are also a “tax break” to this commie.

[manc]

major Garrett from fox asks a question about health care.

he never got not answer and then got sneered at from Gibbs for asking the question.

meanwhile bozo is doing yet another frigging town hall meeting.
the media should be asking questions and bozo should be running this country not looking at his popular numbers.

Abamanation promised me a tax cut. I make less than 250,000 dollars. If my health benefits are taxed this will be a 2000 dollar increase in my taxes!!!

I think the Abomanation lied to me. I am shocked shocked shocked! /S

Funny, but the so-called “tax-break” I receive from my employer for health care is taken out after my being taxed for it. The amount that is deducted from my paycheck each month (approximately $900.00 a month) for health care costs (that’s my money being deducted, not my employer’s) is taken out after it’s been taxed, not before.

[an amused spectator]

Oh, so you ADMIT that you use coupons without reporting the "income" to The State!

Expect a visit from the Coupon Revenue Enforcement Division, citizen. ;-)

By the way - thanks for tending to keeping us informed about the double-dealings of the liberal Media scum! I appreciate it, being time-challenged these days.

Wait. The Obamassiah can not lie. He is the only sinless politician, elected in the Immaculate Election.

So, we have nothing to fear.

[G Larry]

“Newspaper”?
What’s that?

[an amused spectator]

Oh, so you ADMIT that you're one of "The Rich" who have employer-provided health care! Don't try to fog the issue with the facts, citizen - we ALL KNOW that you hate sick poor kids, AND their puppies AND their kittens!

Capitalist bastard! ;-)

We will have a “Coupon Czar” now. Thanks a lot for giving the One an idea. sarc

[what's up]

I am sensing desperation from the Oshamba administration on health care.

They are putting out new kinds of jargon, twisted numbers, and trial balloons several times a day now.

I think they have a big group of crazed, elite, social engineers working 18 hours at a WH conference table OD'ing on caffeine while trying to out-turf each other to come with a plan they can get thru a sceptical Congress and populace within weeks.

I don't think it's going to work.

[Vendome]

What are his most popular numbers?

[an amused spectator]

Gibbs needs a visit from Buford Pusser.

Oh, man - NOW we've done it, afip!

[NEMDF]

Also exempt will be government employees at all levels: city, state, and federal.

[Political Junkie Too]

These are the same people who wanted to tax homeowners an "imputed rental income" that they would have received had they not lived in their homes but instead rented them out to someone else.

evidently you don't have employer provided health care....or.....what is being deducted is for dependent coverage which the employee usually pays for with after tax dollars.....
