Up yours America!
I'm really starting to dislike the man....
Fox News Channel discussing it now.
Power grab deluxe.
Paid for by “off sets” that will never be realized.
that’s not a health care bill. it’s a bed time story. the only thing it’s missing is “and they all lived happily ever after”.
Captain Ahab has to get his whale ....
Ever see a psychologist because of grade problems in college? Now EVERYONE can see it! Ever go on anti-depressants after your husband died suddenly? Now EVERYONE can see it! Ever have a febrile seizure when you were five? Now EVERYONE can read it!
Why do I keep see folks here asking “why”?
This is the moment!
This is where the dictator starts his choke hold to bring the economy to its knees and the power to the government to its ultimate control of the citizens.
This is/was NEVER about health care.
This is/was NEVER about a second term.
This is/was NEVER about the citizens voice.
Why can’t people see this for what it really is?
We have been free, content and coddled for so long many can’t see evil as it forms in front of their eyes.
THEY ARE MAKING THEIR MOVE!!!!!
Time for Republicans to tell him where to blow it out of...
Yes, I know, dangling prepositions are something up with which I will not put...
If the Democrats would just stop and think a second they'd realize we will need to prosecute the whole lot of them.

Broaden the Medicare Hospital Insurance (HI) Tax Base for High-Income Taxpayers.
Under current law, people who earn a salary pay the Medicare HI tax on their earned income, but
those who have substantial unearned income do not, raising issues of fairness. The House bill
includes a 5.4% surcharge on high-income households to improve the fairness of the tax system
and to support health reform. The Senate bill includes an increase in the HI tax for high-income
households for similar reasons, an increase of 0.9% on earnings above a specific threshold for a
total employee assessment of 2.35% on these amounts. The Presidents Proposal adopts the
Senate bill approach and adds a 2.9 percent assessment (equal to the combined employer and
employee share of the existing HI tax) on income from interest, dividends, annuities, royalties
and rents, other than such income which is derived in the ordinary course of a trade or business
which is not a passive activity (e.g., income from active participation in S corporations) on
taxpayers with respect to income above $200,000 for singles and $250,000 for married couples
filing jointly. The additional revenues from the tax on earned income would be credited to the
HI trust fund and the revenues from the tax on unearned income would be credited to the
Supplemental Medical Insurance (SMI) trust fund. http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/summary-presidents-proposal.pdf
Haven't seen anything like that in a long time.
Obama Fail.
Which will eventually lead to every American being forced to get a computer chip to control it all. Imagine the power Washington (self serving politicians) could have over us then.
Glen Beck mentioned some kind of data base farm already being built in Virginia? I only caught part of it.
The arrogance of the WH is disgusting. Didn’t they learn from the elections in NJ, VA and MA? The majority of voters in MA who voted for Scott Brown cited healthcare reform as a major reason for voting for him.
I don’t believe they will have the votes in the House for a simple majority. They only got the House version through before by a total of 3 votes. Something like 37 or 38 Dems opposed the original bill. John Murtha has since died and there was a Rep. who has resigned. I also don’t think that Rep. Cao (R) from La. will vote for it given the conditions he voted for the original House bill. Any of the Dems who voted against this who might consider voting for something new now would be committing political suicide, not that most who vote for it are also in that same boat.
If they push through a “watered-down” version of the reforms suggested in this proposal on the WH website, the Dems will collectively be committing political suicide. Against the will of the people with barely 30% support for this government takeover of about one-sixth of the US economy is bad politics no matter how you look at it.
And they thing the Tea Party folks have been angry and committed, just wait for what might happen if they shove this crap down the throats of the American people.
Shut the senate down completely with procedural moves until November, stop all, ALL, appointments of any kind.
This petty tyrant needs to be shown the door, the BACK door preferably near the trash.
Thank you, Matt. Without Drudge a LOT fewer people would know what’s going on.
Check out the effete photo of The One. You can see he’s really feeling our pain from the bad economy.
