Areen’t all taxes supposed to be applied equally? Just asking...
Unions Get Waivers Bought With Political Cash – ObamaCare Waivers
In a telltale Friday-night document dump, the White House released records showing the latest lucky recipients of ObamaCare cost waivers. By the wildest of coincidences, 87% of them belong to Big Labor unions. Interesting, since Big Labor pulled out all the stops to get the president’s signature on health care reform passed in March 2010. [...]
I have been pondering the declaration that the cost penalty is actually a tax.
I agree with your point re taxes are supposed to be levied equally...and how can that now be with all of the exemption crowds being exempted. And the exemptions are being handed out by the Executive branch.
Second point, don’t all tax bills and budgets supposedly first need to initiated in the House of Reps?
In my eyes all of these exemptions are invalid and just another piece of the mess of this sloppy over-reach of power.
If I am correct, these waivers are different than the individual mandate taxes-which is a capitation tax.
These waivers are exemptions from requirements relating to company provided health care plans for employees.
