This is apparently a tax hidden in Obamacare. Who is trying to change it?

Not hidden.

We’ve known about it for months, and there are many more like it.

Maybe the damn liberals should have read the damn bill before voting to enact it. For $*%$* sake!

Republicans should not support fixing it. They bought it, they own it. Or if they must, amend the law as well to supprt religious exemptions.

Congress should not be trying to repeal it. The beneficiaries of a repeal are primarily in the blue states. Why are Kerry and Warren opposed to the tax? Probably because it affects people who vote for them and fund their campaigns. It is time they felt the effects of legislation from the politicians they finance and vote for.

How is Congress going to pay for reducing or repealing this tax?

no changes! The dems own it; the only change that should be on the table is a complete repeal.

One goal, for example, is to exempt start-ups from the tax for a certain period of time.

Yeah, don't pull down the cliff, just move it. That's gotta work!

The company for whom I work has been sending out petitions and has been part of a large lobbying group to try to get this repealed. going to cost my company over $40 million a year. “just pass it along to the consumers” we’ve been told.
Layoffs are on the horizon.

Too late. Companies have already laid off workers due to this upcoming tax.

Yes, one of very many. There's a new 4% sales tax on real estate sales, too.

0bama is no defender of the middle class, as he claims. He's trying to tax it into poverty, so we can all be "equal."

Senior Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry has also expressed concern about the tax.

Didn't Kerry vote for the tax? I guess he was for it before he was against it.

companies like stryker have directly or indirectly put millions in the obama bucket and also have put money against initiatives for conservative causes. stryker wanted obama, they should pay the penalty. simply google pat stryker and obama. hard to defend their tremendous profits which are funneled to family and then given to the dems. i’m not feeling sorry for stryker.

Over the cliff; the RATS made the cliff now they should go over it. Later the Democrats can be seen as giving tax breaks to the rich.
