Of the twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare, below are the five worst that will be foisted upon Americans for the first time on January 1, 2013:

The Obamacare Medical Device Tax – a $20 billion tax increase: Medical device manufacturers employ 409,000 people in 12,000 plants across the country. Obamacare imposes a new 2.3 percent excise tax on gross sales – even if the company does not earn a profit in a given year. In addition to killing small business jobs and impacting research and development budgets, this will increase the cost of your health care – making everything from pacemakers to prosthetics more expensive.

The Obamacare “Special Needs Kids Tax” – a $13 billion tax increase: The 30-35 million Americans who use a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) at work to pay for their family’s basic medical needs will face a new government cap of $2,500 (currently the accounts are unlimited under federal law, though employers are allowed to set a cap).

The clear intention of this particular tax is TO HURT SICK PEOPLE.

You have to be a sadomasochistic fruitcake to have ever thought there was any legitimacy to this particular tax.

When we start looking for kookoos who escaped the fine mesh net of modern psychiatry so we can forestall more grade school massacres, we really ought to start with CONGRESS.

Our very lives are at risk as long as there's a single Democrat free to walk the public streets.
