They will take all exemptions away AND forgo all “refunds”...that is just a start. I can’t see why they can’t just take a percentage of everyone’s pay and be done with it. Yes it is called a flat tax that should be done. Let it be 15 percent. Some people believe 10 percent would be enough....that I am not sure of, but if 10 percent is the magic number than that is even better.
No more golden eggs—the goose has died.
You get through medical school and refuse to be a slave to a bunch of Harvard/Yale lawyers?
The nerve of these people!
What’a Doctors think they live in a free country or something?

Reagan cut taxes to starve the beast and now Obama raise taxes to feed and grow the beast.
Probably the biggest threat we face as a nation--fiscal threat--in fact, the biggest threat after, in my opinion, the threat of Islamic fundamentalism and the terrorists using a weapon of mass destruction against us--is the impending economic meltdown of this country as a result of the burden that our generation, the baby boom generation, is putting on the next generation through the entitlement accounts. There is $66 trillion of unfunded liability, $66 trillion--a huge number. Nobody knows because it is hard to define what $1 trillion is. But if you take all the taxes paid since the beginning of this Republic--I think you are talking about something like $37 trillion--and if you take all of the net worth of the American people--all their cars, all their homes, all their stock--and add it together, you come up with something like $45 trillion.So we have a liability on our books which involves three programs--Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid--that exceeds the net worth of the Nation and exceeds the amount of taxes paid in this Nation since we began as a nation.
Senator Coburn - October 1, 2008
Let me describe for a moment the problems that are coming if we get past this one. Here are the problems that are coming. We are on an unsustainable course. The unfunded liabilities for Medicare alone are $100 trillion. A child born today in this country faces $400,000 for taxes for things they will never get a benefit from--$400,000. Who in this country starting out even could absorb that debt, pay the interest on it, and ever hope to own a home or have a college education? Yet this body continues to spend more, authorize more, and create bigger and more intrusive Government, limiting the power of the great American experiment to, in fact, supply an increased standard of living.We are in tough times, but they are going to get tougher until the American people hold this body accountable to live within the rules set out in a very wise, a very providential way that served this country well. We ignore this book, this Constitution, at our peril. We are reaping exactly what we have sown.
A meltdown is inevitable.
“If we continue with all other government programs in operation today and raise the taxes to pay for Medicare, plus Medicaid—the health program for low-income folks—the Congressional Budget Office estimates a middle-income family by the middle of this century will have to pay two-thirds of its total income in federal taxes.”
And, there you have it, folks. The anointed one isn’t going to raise taxes on anyone making less than $250k? Of course not. How else do you suppose this marxist intends to pay for his socialist utopia?
We simply have to take back the country, before he and the 0bamunists destroy all of it.
Obama’s Health Care Reform will be to decrease funding and payment of diagnostic procedures. If cancer detection techniques are cut back and/or delayed due to waiting lines, then the disease will be in advance stages and treatment will be useless. Problem solved....cut the diagnosis procedures, save on treatment costs, and save on future pension benefit and medical costs! That’s the Jack Kevorkian Health Care Model.

It’s okay: every poll shows that most Americans don’t mind paying more if they get more benefits.
And I was really glad to hear that because pay you will.
There’s going to be taxes on top of the taxes. Existing taxes will all be raised. When your federal, state and local government are done with you, you’re going to be wondering how you can survive.
And when you go home at night to your tiny apartment and break up the mac and cheese cause you can’t afford anything else and turn on your TV, the grinning info babe is going to regal you with tales of how your government doesn’t have any money and it’s all your fault cause you’re greedy.
CYA diagnostic tests, redundant consultations and malpractice insurance and settlements drain billions out of health care every year yet not one Senator or Congressman has the balls to take on the trial lawyers and limit frivolous lawsuits against the medical field.
