Another reason why no one is starting a business, paying for all that health care, and we know $60 billion is a under stated amount due

60 billion over ten years is no where near enough to fund the health care of even the uninsured let alone any one else. This is the opening salvo of many more tax bills to come. I'm convinced that you will not hear any complaining from the sheep until Zero finally has to reach into their pockets after he fleeces whatever he can from every one else. I'm 46 years old and I have never in my lifetime seen a presidency start off so ominously.

If Americans were required to turn over 100% of what they earn to the government, that still wouldn’t be enough to cover the spending. Ultimately money is just an agreed upon physical representation of the amount of work that a person does, or service they provide etc. Redistribution is essentially taking one persons work/effort and giving it to others. If those others can’t work for reasons beyond their personal control, then society has a moral responsibility to use the work/effort of those that can to help them. Beyond that, however, wealth redistribution is essential theft of the work/efforts of individuals.

Socialized medicine is fine for those people who are essentially healthy, but if you suffer from chronic heelth problems requiring regular monitoring by specialists, expensive medication or surgery, take a number and get in line. You have to wait months to see a specialist now. Imagine the wait if this is implemented and there are less and less specialists to cover the load.

With the inflation over the next 5 years we will all be in high tax bracket. Our children should should get zero on our estates. The game here is to take every last cent IMHO

$60 billion in new tax increases over 10 years on wealthy estates.that should keep wealthy from moving out of the country obama’s piggy bank will dry up soon.

Steal from family farms and steal from the semi-wealthy. Warren Buffet will be overjoyed

This brings more corporate farming as family farms cannot be passed down and more Monsanto style GM foods where the farmer is utterly dependent on Monsanto for seed

I'm sure the definition of Wealthy estates will be set around one positive dollar on your gov't approved balance sheet...........after taxes it will be worth 30 cents before inflation, which will make you a millionaire in the new bizzaro world.
