National Healthcare Upheld: The Supreme Court upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act challenge on Thursday, even though a reversal would have had little to no impact on service-connected veterans served by the Department of Veterans Affairs or on military members and retirees served by military medicine or enrolled in TRICARE. This is because your VFW led the fight back in March 2010 to get Congress to recognize all VA and Defense Department health programs as meeting minimal acceptable coverage standards as required by a proposed national healthcare bill that had failed to include VA health programs for widows and disabled children, and almost 90 percent of military TRICARE programs. With the strong support of then-House Armed Service Committee Chairman Ike Skelton (D-Mo.) and Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.), and the grassroots advocacy of thousands of VFW members and supporters, the new, more encompassing legislation quickly passed Congress and was signed into law by the president on May 27, 2010. Read the high court’s ruling at http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/11-393c3a2.pdf.
Actually, the BIG tax bomb begins on Jan 1, when the Bush cuts expire. Assuming nothing is done, the lower and middle classes will get WALLOPED with incredible tax increases, and they will have to pay them, as dodging taxes for the lower classes is simply not doable.
Of course the Upper Middle Class, and the Upper Class will also get hit hard, and the Upper Middle Class will SCREAM LIKE HELL, especially in the Northeast and parts of California, where their numbers are very high.
My dream is to see all of these tax increases go through - for if THE PEOPLE of the United States want $4T worth of government services, then they should start paying taxes to that effect.
Bend over and grab behind your knees. The Democrats with the aid of the Supreme Court are driving it home.
Now that is a bumper sticker! ;-)
A cause for concern, certainly.
Damn....when Obama said we will have eat our peas.....I didn’t think it would be a 50 lb bag....
Bump to the top!!!!
bump
Gotta get me one of those!
“My dream is to see all of these tax increases go through. . . .”
I agree. Much as I hate to pay my share of the new taxes, much of the middle and upper middle class needs to feel the pain. They reliably vote Democrat believing the class warfare propaganda. They enjoy both the tax relief the Republicans vote for and the social services the deficit spending covers. They believe Obama and Pelosi are really creating a health care plan that won’t cost them anything. The only way they are going to wake up is to bear the costs of the benefits their politicians deliver. If Romney loses in November and these liberals get punched in the teeth with higher taxes in January, they won’t be able to blame anyone but Obama and their Democrat benefactors.
The collapse is coming. If Romney is elected, Soros will manipulate the markets to make it happen early in his term. Republicans will be blamed for a generation. Better to leave Obama holding the bag when it happens. The tax increases will reduce consumer spending precipitating a severe downturn in the economy and much higher unemployment by late 2013. It is going to take protracted pain for the Dems to be blamed and the majority of people to really seek a conservative alternative.
“They enjoy both the tax relief the Republicans vote for and the social services the deficit spending covers. “
That’s a GREAT POINT, almost Thomas Sowell’ish, or Mark Steyn’ish. I’ll go back to reading the rest of your post.
“It is going to take protracted pain for the Dems to be blamed and the majority of people to really seek a conservative alternative.”
I hear you, but won’t go that far. With Obama, we’ll get to watch our debt nearly double again over the next 4 years. If people can’t get it now...why would we expect them to get it in 4 years, when Obamacare is an entitlement.
Tax0dumb0 is out to destroy our country, and unfortunately I don’t see Mitt as much of a challenge to the RAT bastard communist-socialist-muslim pig. And a hearty thanks for nuthin’ to all the dumb asses & RAT bastards out there who voted for this commie-socialist-muslim pig, a bare 7 years after 9/11 and being attacked by muslim terrorists. My brother & fat ass sister-in-law are two of the dumb asses who voted for 0dumb0, and I never cease to remind him of that, especially if either of them start to complain about 0dumb0 or taxes or medical care. And to top it off, his company moved him to Kalifornia in 2008, and now he is concerned that he won’t be able to afford to leave, since he bought a gigantic home as well.
BTTT
The "Your and F-ing idiot" crowd may leave me alone for a while. Thanks for the cover, FRiend.

Agreed. The insidious thing about such "tax cuts" is that they merely hidr/postpone what the tax-law really says. Of course "kick it down the road" is the American way, nowadays, so what do we know?
If they put all dissenters in jail (we would have to force the issue) the cost would be so large that they would have to utilize the military to provide tents and buildings and guards.
We on the other hand would have to be willing to give up our remaining freedom for awhile but we could bust the bank. They would have to feed us, cloth us, wash us, provide bedding and free medical while in jail.
If even 10% of us has the guts (I do) we could bring this country’s leaders to their knees. If you want to keep or reclaim our country - are you willing to go to jail to do so? I volunteer myself and WILL do it when the time comes and the opportunity to bust this form of government down and force a return to sanity.
Count me in! I really have nothing to lose. I don’t own a house currently and we’re already on an installment plan with the IRS so I’m not afraid of them anymore. I.will.not.comply with Obamacare and now our taxes will be going through the roof next year, so my golden years just went down the toilet. What the hell can they do to me?

This is a large scale Alyski tactic in play. Back when Rudy was mayor of NY they tried to do this by overlaoding the welfare system with applicants until it collapsed. Here we see it on a larger scale.
