We Were Warned   [Daniel Foster]

Largest Tax Increase in History

If you think it’s a pain to deal with your medical insurance company when you need care, just wait until you have to deal with the IRS. Those are not nice people. Actually, they are paid not to be nice, and they are good at it.

I guess the Deemocrats think they can go home easily and with local support for what they are doing then, don’t they? That they and their contacts, communities, friends and families will not be affected?

16,000 more IRS workers sent out to enforce this making it a crime to be an American.

Unsustainable system set up to destroy the United Soviet States. The U.S. won’t last ten more years.

The following tripe is from the front page of finance.yahoo.com and is from “The Wall Street Journal”

To hear some people tell it, the health-care bill will destroy America and your stock portfolio. We will become a “socialist” country. You should sell everything, put your money in gold, cash or foreign stocks, and run to the hills.

It’s hard to get past the hyperbole and partisan hysteria on this topic. But if we take the calm view, what, if anything, would the bill mean for your investments?

Take a deep breath. It probably won’t mean very much. There’s a good chance it won’t mean anything at all.

To start with, we don’t really know what it will do to the deficit. The Congressional Budget Office Thursday projected the bill would cut deficits by $138 billion over 10 years. There will be a lot of detailed debate about these forecasts and the assumptions underlying them. Most of it will be pointless. I have spent too many years watching oil analysts who couldn’t successfully predict the oil price 12 months out, and economists who couldn’t even spot a recession when we’re in one, to have any faith in forecasts and projections. The CBO doesn’t know what this bill will actually do over the next 10 years, let alone after that. Nor does anybody else.

They do think that, because they’ve been implementing socialism for 70 years and getting away with it.

Not positive what all that statement refers to, but I'll definitely say that large numbers of voters went into voting for Obama blindly. I don't think many conservatives are surprised by what he's trying to do.

Revenue from the health care tax will be added in with general tax receipts and presented as “the Obama administration is taking steps to balance the budget” before HCR expenditures kick in in 2013.

I pray their lives will become a living HELL, every day, every minute, every second. I pray they will be so shunned by their FRIENDS, FAMILies and any Contact they have.

I pray those CONTACTS will totally destroy their businesses.

May all their family memebers be shunnded and ridiculed as well, to the fourth generation. Let their name be MUDD.

A Ponnzi scheme to make Madoff blush.

The U.S. won’t last ten more years.

And still we don't show our outrage. The anti-war protesters burnt Cheney in effigy just yesterday but we are too good for shows of anger like that. Too good that we'll all just let this happen. Anger at the voting booth just isn't going to save us.

If it passes then taxes go up during a severe recession.....Not good.
I don't know about your investments but in general that is not something that ends up in the positive column.

Yes, I do think they believe they will not have to suffer under this bill. The ONLY comfort I can take from this is that they will have the same lack of health care or crummy health care that the rest of us will have. They get to wait in line behind the illegal “immigrant” hoards at the clinics like everyone else. Once they realize this, I think there will be a lot of wailing and moaning.

Plus, if it passes, people will likely be spending lots more money on all these health care fees, and won’t have enough left over for investments. Some families are likely to spend thousands more a year than what they were paying. Wall Street is going to feel that particular pain.

Members of Congress guaranteed themselves first class health care and pensions that we will NEVER see. As for Democrats, they will simply blame Republicans when their plan fails. It’s what they do. It’s all they do.
