So, all that noise about no tax hike for anyone earning under $200K was just that... noise.

Obama lied and America died.

FUBO!!

It’s more than a tax. It’s peonage.

[swain_forkbeard]

Of course it’s a tax. The whole point is that it’s a tax.

[Da Coyote]

D*mn, now that the White House has said it’s a tax, I don’t know whether it is or not.

Remember, the White House is the source of all lies.

There’s not an honest person there.

[Danae]

And they wonder why we don’t believe a DAMN THING that comes out of congress is going to be good for us.

They wonder why we completely distrust Democrats. Well golly, MAYBE BECAUSE OF CRAP LIKE THIS!!!!!!???? Ya think?

[savedbygrace]

IIRC, the bill/law itself says it’s not a tax.

The bill lies.

[RandallFlagg]

Throughout his presidential campaign, then-candidate Barack Obama promised the American people: “If you’re a family that’s making $250,000 a year or less, you will see no increase in your taxes.”

Hell, he broke THAT promise ten days after he assumed office with the SCHIP bill.

I knew that when it was beging debated. That way it will pass the Supreme Court as the Constitution does give Congress the power to levy and collect taxes, just like the Social Security act was found to be legal as it is also a “Tax”.

If the media had questioned him during the campaign on his MANY “misspoken” statements we wouldn’t be in this mess now.

D*mn, now that the White House has said it’s a tax, I don’t know whether it is or not.

In the movies the evil scientist will always finally tell you the whole truth when he has you tied up and hanging over a vat of molten lava.

This is like that.

[Commander X]

Yes...I agree..FUBO! Lying Sack OS...

[FreedomPoster]

The tanning bed tax is clearly racist. Think about it!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

The public needs to rise up and throw EVERY Democrat out of the House and Snate.

[No Truce With Kings]

“That way it will pass the Supreme Court as the Constitution does give Congress the power to levy and collect taxes, just like the Social Security act was found to be legal as it is also a “Tax”.”

Not really. It should not pass Constitutional muster on at least two grounds: 1. It is a head tax — a tax on existing. 2. Not everyone is treated equally under the law.

[RC2]

People should have seen this when they put the IRS in charge. What is the purpose of the IRS? To collect taxes! That is their only reason for existence.

ABOLISH SLAVERY
REPEAL THE 16th AMENDMENT!

[SMARTY]

P E R F E C T !!!

Now the DNC can just keep moving the goal posts.

If you wondered how the ‘hope and change’ monkeyshines would shake out... NOW you know. That is, if you were too brain dead or gullible to figure it out months ago!!

[Frantzie]

The Media is 110% behind him. Idiots who pay for cable and sat TV support their serfdom. TV controls America and the idiots. Fox/Saudia is no better. Just smoke to fool the idiots who watch TV.

Obama Care ........a certified “Job killing machine”..........That socialist imbecile does not understand that you can not tax yourself in to prosperity.......take it to the bank that in time people will realize what kind of “Loon” we are dealing with, making Jimmy Carter look a genius......absolving him from the title of being one of the worst presidents.
